#goodbyetumblr?

[thedearlydepart]

I never thought I’d be writing this, but after much reflection, it’s time for me to step away from the creative space—at least in a professional sense. It's bittersweet, and honestly, a little sad.

Tumblr has been the foundation of so much of what I was doing, especially from 2009 to around 2016. During those years, I poured everything into my projects, but in the end, most of them didn’t take off the way I’d hoped. The reality is, they lacked the momentum to become sustainable.

One of those projects was @untldsound . It still makes me smile when I think about how, two years ago, I filed an LLC for it, opened a bank account—and then… nothing. Life happened, plans fell through. Maybe something will come of it in the future, but who knows? Right now, I’m not sure what will happen with the content that exists there. I’ll try to publish what I can, archive the rest, and by late 2026, the page will likely be deactivated or gone entirely.

Helping people make music has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. But unfortunately, between unreliable clients, strained friendships, and financial limitations, I couldn’t keep the dream alive. Some of the artists I worked with are still going strong—like Mike Lawrence (formerly Whaleman) and Mazi Kabi. Shaun Green, aka Shizzymandias, still creates music from time to time, although it’s no longer his main focus. I’ve lost touch with our producer, Dreams/Deval Dreams, but I’m determined to get his work back onto platforms and into the world. I know he’ll find success. And to @goldpackpapi, aka Ryan Dobson, and all my UNTLD crew—I love you all. I hope one day, we can create together again.

As for this page, aside from managing acts around the Philly area, I also mixed and mastered music under the name @thedearlydepart . This page will stay up as a reminder of those times. While the name @thedearlydepart will live on, I’ll be transitioning most of my accounts to my personal name and email. The domain (www.thedearlydepart.com) is no longer active—someone else claimed it when I let it lapse—but I’ll be using its email service for a while longer. After that, it’ll disappear.

I had considered turning this handle into something more personal, and in some ways, it already was. But I think it’s time to let go of the moniker and start fresh. Over the next year, I’ll keep you updated on what happens with the content across my various platforms.

Then there’s @psocial-light, which I started in December 2009, a few months after my child was born. It was a lifestyle and photography brand that, unfortunately, never fully blossomed. Still, I stand by the work I did there—it was my first real project, my baby. After 15 years (with the last five being mostly inactive), it’s time to say goodbye. I still have the files, and I’ll never forget those times, even if @rawartistsla was a bit of a scam. It was still special, and I’m grateful to Jailon, Ryan, and @ziggy-wiggy for supporting me at my little photo stand, helping me pack up for the show.

At the end of the day, I wanted all these ventures to succeed, and I take full responsibility for them not reaching their potential. I didn’t have the business know-how to turn them into money-making ventures. I couldn’t get anyone on tour, secure major placements, or help these projects scale. I couldn’t make it as an artist, or even as one of the pieces making the machine run.

So, I’m giving up.

I don’t expect many people to see this or care, but for those who do, I’ll be posting updates about the transition process on each page. I expect this to take until late 2025 or early 2026, with the final shutdown happening around summer 2026.

If anyone is interested in acquiring rights to any of the content, feel free to reach out.

The Road Forward

Hey there!! Its been a long long long long time. I wrote out the explanation for you guys all the way back in February.. the 11th to be exact.

At that time I truly was busy so I didn’t post it right away. The original title of this post was:

“Goodbye Tumblr”

But that’s only half true as I’m not leaving. More so... So many things have happened since February 12 till now that is crazy!!

Qinni dies, I injure myself and end up ambidextrous, I learn calligraphy, and gauche painting and a whole ton of other stuff... And now the world falls in the dumpster with this virus...

So...

Alot of why I didn’t make the post since having the draft typed up had to do with the fact that I wanted the perfect drawing to mark this transition point... But I think its fitting at this point to just tell you. Drawing or No drawing. Not sure how much of this is relevant still but here is the original Explanation:

It's been a long time coming guys and gal pals. I'd like to thank everyone that has followed this artblog until now. A great big hand goes out to the few that cared to know more about the artist behind the curation.

Before I go into details, I'll state right here and now for those who only want the punch-line. The artblog is now closed. Officially. Meaning: There will no longer be posts or reblogs of art that inspire me here. This blog will not be shut down as it means alot and it serves a purpose. In time, its intended purpose will also be fulfilled. As of whats going to happen, I'll explain in story... I'll be as brief as possible XD This blog means alot to me personally. It represents seveal interesting periods of my life and ran through the height of my university study. I'm now in transition, to find and walk my path, to begin my career and leave my mark on the world. Years ago when this blog started, my sense of direction was not concrete and had no set path. Today, I am on the journey to my future self and no longer have the kind of time to carefully cater to this blog as I once did. There are those of you who may have noticed the decreasing frequency and number of posts. I have a life now and I've grown apart from this amazing section of the internet. This is still my home. Moving forward I'll post art and updates here. Lots of plans instored. This blog was origionally meant to be an artist resource though. Therefore, I'll be systematically returning here and tagging the sea of untagged posts to make the resource more useful. This is an unorganized collection of stylized awesome!! Filled with amazing art from the world over. There are over 100,000 amazing images with amazing design, colors, compositions and resources that range over a wide array in the art & Entertainment industry. I'm 100% proud of that. I'd like this resource to be fully functioning and intend to make it so. Little by little, here is where I shall point 1000's of artists in the years to come. If all of that isn't your thing, thanks for stopping by, it was nice having you. If you are along for the ride, then strap in and hang on tight!!! Its a new chapter but this roller coaster has no breaks!!!

Goodbye Tumblr @staff

I’m moving this to Wordpress. I began this blog a year or so ago as a dump for my writing with the initial plan to just get the brain ball rolling. With the conflicting fact that a blog is public, I’ve had to welcome criticism, judgment - friends and family peeping but also the kindly group of online faces that have given encouragement and praise.

I’m out in New York and feeling pretty disillusioned with how little I’ve wanted to write - the details, the moments and people I’d waited to put down. Though tonight, on a walk in the Bronx, I opened up my notes and began, very quickly, reconstructing the days that had missed their articulation.

I then realised that it’s not writers block, a dearth of inspiration, or too much distraction but Tumblr. Tumblrs crappy blanket ban has not only attacked what I think about the censorship of women’s bodies but has attacked my writing. Some of my favourite posts have been taken down.

Tumblr, I’m not a ‘female presenting nipples’. I have nipples - I was born with them on my chest. They are part of the body that made this body of work, these female experiences, these things I no longer want to give to a platform that would rather I replaced them with swastikas or severed babies heads.

Pile of horse poo if you ask me. You’re after the wrong people.

Today Will Forever Go Down In History.

If you order please post a selfie with the hashtags  #TUMBLR or #RIPTUMBLR #ript

REBLOG. It would be a dream to see all of us together wearing this in a video or photo hand delivered to @staff. Hopefully we can get them to understand how much of our lives they've ruined. There are a multitude of PG friendly platforms out there.... believing that the next generation would use tumblr more than we did... is like believing that yahoo mail is useful compared to gmail.

Prudishness much?

Good bye, Tumblr. When my man chest covers get flagged for adult content, you exhaust me. I’m outta here. If you’re following me here, please come follow me on Facebook or Instagram.

Goodnight Tumblr

Just wanted to say farewell to all of the wonderful weirdos I have followed on Tumblr for the past several years. As we all know, Tumblr’s landscape will drastically change as of December 17th. After the 17th, I will most likely shut down my account. Again, thanks to all of the color people who have made Tumblr a crazy, wonderful place.

In Protest of Censorship

Though absolutely none of my posts were flagged for being inappropriate, I am deleting all my content in protest of the ridiculous changes coming to tumblr on December 17, 2018.

If Tumblr cannot tolerate the (Completely Legal!) somewhat questionable thoughts, opinions, art, writing, and any other creative works put out there by their users... ... they don’t deserve the best thoughts, opinions, art, writing, or any other creative works by their users.
