Having been a teacher at that same school, I am qualified to remark how AWFUL that is to say to a first year art student.
Of course all freshman art students are derivative!!! But you don’t have to say that, you have to guide them to find their voice amidst all that!
Watching things that are really bold, loud, borderline obnoxious, and satisfying to the younger me who wanted to make loud, bold, obnoxious love letters to those things is reactivating.
My freshman year review, I was called “derivative” and I’ve never forgiven them for that.
a greyscale illustration of a humanoid figure sitting on a dual sport styled motorcycle, the background is grey and there is a suggestion of a night time beach scene with stars and a moon emerging on the left. The figure is wearing boots, pants and relatively normal gloves and two toned helmet which obscures their face, but the jacket is covered in eerie eyes in various states of open and closed. The mirror on the bike shows one more eye, ominously reflected where we would expect the rider’s face to be shown.

Hey I made a rare public post to my Patreon AND my Ko-Fi 👀
I will now be crossposting all membership posts to both platforms, as well as starting Sticker Club in April.
The first sticker is a 6-inch sword.
Bonus: I am now selling caco stickers.

Watching Redline over the weekend and then following it with IMAX Speed Racer (twice) is like mainlining technicolor directly into my eyeballs.

I need an extra day to recover and prepare for a maintenance call I got while I was traveling, so no Monday Stream tonight, but then we should be back to normal on Weds 🤞
I'm pretty sure this is something you could do with SAMMI, it can fetch your subscriber count and then use that to update a text source in OBS/update a text file, or trigger whatever elements you wanted to, including animations (it can also move/animate elements.)
If, after contributing to some of the multitudinous other people with bigger problems than mine, you have a couple of bucks to help me get this thing off my back and restore some equilibrium to my life, I would very much appreciate it.

EVERY artist absolutely ADORES art made people who are not trained. We all look at it with absolute joy because it feels like the purest art that's possible.
We have all this training, but with it comes a lack of purity, and we spend our entire lives in futility trying to achieve that purity again.

happy 20th
one of the challenges I feel that artists face across all skill levels that's not taught or brought in workshops is how to cut through discursive thoughts while drawing.
Skill is not the issue persay but the lack of tenacity to stand up to our worst inner critic when drawing

Only Monday art stream tonight at 8PM EDT for this week!
Weds and Friday cancelled bc I’m running wild and free 🐎
People have always been super kind about my work, but I’ve struggled to actually sell it.
So I’m trying something new: an auction starting at €1.

I'm in a bad financial spot with owed taxes & a bunch of medical appointments all happening within the same month and I'm looking for some aid. If you can even share this post to more eyes and people who can help, I would greatly appreciate it! <3 ko-fi.com/neekko/goal?... #mutualaid
I gave up on the last one, brought it to a shop that's always really nice to me, they still had trouble with it too but they have a REAL machine lol. I gave them photos I took of their old shop right before they moved and they put them on the cork board ;w;
