…the festive season
#poem #poetry

breakcore under star-lit sky
sugar high
more custard
more jelly
some coffee
some energy
bouncing on a chair
tapping foot
tremulous knee
hi-hats turn into high hats
i can taste the synths
in the rain sprinkled air
and the sugar coursing my veins

really enjoyed watching the original Pet Sematary, a movie with every age range, and so beautifully camp!

just a few weeks and my Bok Choy is growing nicely

the “anymore” part never having really been a thing will blow your mind if you look into it.
many former democracies around the world learned the hard way about how many institutional practices were nothing more than the guy on the right agreeing with the guy on the left w/ nothing more than a nod.

learning to do the head is such an abstract experience.
even when following along to a tutorial video.
i kinda still don’t know why some of these elements really work (i botched the instructions) but there it is, almost done, looking like an actual person.

I've had this for the last decade.

tricky to get little intricate colors of a matchstick.
more reps! i can feel my eye muscles growing.
painting illuminates so much of the world.

I have found my calling, oil painting!
The process of mixing colors feels like partaking in some kind of ancient, zen magic.

This was my first attempt at a master study whose result (and how intensely it made me feel) pretty much showed me what type of art I wanted to get really good at.

The phenomenon of working on some master study, thinking you're way off, leaving, and coming back only to see a way better output than you initially perceived will never not blow my mind.

the ear is quite forgiving when it comes to painting it as a learner. the very visible variations in color make the invisible lines pop out without trying.

getting values right is feeling like trying to get the ingredients of an ancient & obscure potion just right.
also starting to realize that the higher the pixel value of the document, the less interesting values i get from the brushes (for some reason--on Krita at least)

learning to paint with color has spooked me so greatly that i’ve been putting off all exercises.
And have felt the task impossible at times.
Alas it is probably best that I work within the confines of a more forgiving range of colors—for one so fresh to painting.

not running out of paper and material is great as well

after spending so much time with pencil and ink, and feeling like I've been circling the drain, studying color has felt like a shot shrooms directly into the veins.

digital painting of a dark mountain with snow

struggled a bit with adding more dynamic variation in the dark areas but hey

i wonder what a space junk yard would look like.

So Crisp 🤌

There’s something therapeutic, bordering on euphoric, about capturing what you see as accurately as you can.
it makes one feel less like a messy, useless human being.

love “beat your insecurity to death”.
it’s definitely a colossal nuclear fire breathing kraken for some. great message, thank you.

just doin these drills every day, from Bridgman to anything that's kind to the student's unsteady hand and uncertain eyes.

Slowly one finds oneself getting fatigued with the drills, and in that malaise, modifying what they're studying.

In no time I'll be on to the next stage of my progress.
