So I experience sound-colour synesthesia which means that my brain processes the things I hear as both sound AND colour

I recently started creating paintings on vinyl records that are based on how I see various pieces of music

This piece is based on "Someone New" by Hozier!

(PS this video took FOREVER to make so please appreciate it)

Also, for the vinyl collectors out there who are inevitably horrified by he fact that I'm painting vinyls, I almost exclusively paint on damaged/unplayable vinyls (the only undamaged ones I paint on are those old "top hits" style LPs that are basically the equivalent of a top 40 mixtape)

WHAT IS A SUPER BOOP AND WHY CAN'T I DO IT

THE PLOT BOOPENS

#boopageddon #boop o meter

[arthurbutus]

I've opened tumblr this morning only to be shunted back in time against my will.

I am now 12 years old.

I am now in a Facebook poke war with every single one of you motherfuckers.

Boopageddon ain't got nothing on me.

Bring it on.

#boopageddon #boop o meter #I was an autistic kid growing up in the 2000s who didnt know how to start conversations online I will win this fight #try me bitch

[arthurbutus]

This is literally my very first tumblr account and I've had it for less than a month 😭

I assumed this was an already established thing so I'm VERY confused

I'm actually being responsible and getting shit made in advance of Pride festival season this year; these guys will eventually be ultra lightweight earrings! (Seriously, they weigh almost nothing and are SO easy to wear for long periods of time)

I've done the pride flags I'm familiar with off the top of my head, but I KNOW there's a ton I don't know. If anybody wants to see specific flags, feel free to let me know!

I posted these on ig and now multiple people have told me they look like vajayjays, so obviously I have to make a million of them in the colours of the lesbian flag

I originally made this video back in October, but unfortunately it's still FAR too relevant.

For anybody who's interested, my website has a whole collection of Palestinian flag themed pieces including suncatchers like this one, keychains, earrings, and necklace pendants that I've been using as a fundraiser for Palestine.

$10-$25 of every piece I sell from this collection (the exact amount is in the description of each item) will be donated to UNWRA, the PCRF, or used to purchase eSIMs for displaced Palestinians

**Quick note: before anybody else tries to accuse me of only doing this for the money, please know that I desperately wish I could afford to donate 100% of the profits. Unfortunately the vast majority of my art sales have dried up since I became vocal about my support for Palestine, and despite what Kellogg's wants us all to think, I still need to eat.

I'm so mad that UGM removed all their music from social media- this video was doing so well on tiktok 😭

So I have sound-colour synesthesia and I make art using names as colour palettes!

I'm usually a painter, but I dabble in digital art for the purposes of making sticker designs for my Redbubble shop

This is but a tiny selection of the names I've done thus far, so feel free to make requests!

I had the opportunity to see Dr. Gabor Maté speak live at a screening of "Israelism" in Vancouver late last year. He's an incredible speaker, and much like Norman Finkelstein, has no issue calling out ignorant comments/questions from an audience

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.

My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.

I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.

There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.

I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity.

You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

Painting how I see music has been one of my favourite projects lately. It's an excellent creative challenge to translate what I see in my head into my style of art! The green swoops around the outside definitely turned out more leaf-y than I had intended (I was aiming for firework-y), but I'm still very happy with it overall!
