I recently bought an art book on Caspar David Friedrich, whose emotional work stuck with me since I first saw it in a museum years ago. Over the course of a few weeks, I read about his life and at the same time did studies/interpretations of many pieces. It was a really enjoyable and fulfilling project; here's a good lot of them together :)

I was happy to see many people enjoyed Friedrich's work+my interpretations while posting them individually. It took way too long, but I FINALLY set up a print shop for some of these + some other pieces for those who expressed interest. Thank you so much!

#hi again :D im back after my bimonthly haitus #friedrich #caspar david friedrich #art #fantasy art #fantasy creatures #dragon #dragons #god i had so many issues trying to put together a print shop yall.... #i'm glad it's finally done #i'll put a more print-focused advertisement together later #ty for the patience :"D #i've been working on a TON of stuff lately #I actually really like this setup-- where I quietly work on lots of things for months #and submit it in bulk over the course of a few weeks of activity #mentally a really nice method for me

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

I wish more fanartists would put their work on AO3. Just followed an artist who organizes their work by making a series for Fandom X, and within that, they have multi-chapter works for different ships & gen. Every new chapter is just their latest image for that subject.

It's been so delightful not to have to wade through social media algorithms and endless ads.

#and this set up is brilliant bc I can follow them for ALL their work OR just their Fandom X work OR just their Ship X work #i recognize the platform is not optimized for it #and you have to host images offsite which is a major pain (but understandable from AO3's perspective) #but god is it nice to get an email and click through and see it w/o being advertised to

Not over Dead Boy Detectives only heavily advertising on Tumblr and nowhere else. They know exactly who their audience is.

#makes sense they’d advertise on the supernatural website #since i think a fair amount of the ppl who work on this show also worked on supernatural #dead boy detectives #charles rowland #edwin payne #edwin paine #crystal palace #niko sasaki #netflix

also... hot take... but i think expecting to get entertainment for free is actually bad for artists

#ok im leaving now cus this is insane to watch actually #i understand being upset but... as an artist its already insane to rely on advertising rev #youre talking about watcher as if its netflix and its very much is not #if spotify is bad for indie artists i cant help but assume youtube isnt much better #do i know if it will work out? no! i dont work there! #but i will support artists trying their best to make their best work while making a living #because as an artist trying to make a living they inspire me ! and they make good work! and im damn proud of them for making this leap!

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

#kirby #transparent #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #I hate april fools day but I love tumblr's little gimmick features #because they're usually opt-in and as-advertised #and just silly little fun things that intentionally don't mean much from the start. #much more 'wearing dealieboppers to work' than 'mtv punk'd' #yknow?

sorry if you’ve read this before and i just haven’t seen you post about it, but the book “hell followed with us” by andrew joseph white seems right up your alley

i need some kind of faq with a section where i explain that i consider andrew joseph white to be a poor writer except when it comes to describing excesses of body horror and gore because people keep suggesting hell followed with us to me and i'm sorry but his books are not good. aside from the vivid descriptions mentioned above they're incredibly devoid of compelling narratives, fleshed out characters or immersive worldbuilding. the guy can come up with some amazing concepts for a story, but his ability to execute them is consistently disappointing. i'm glad he's making money and having fun pursuing his creative passions but his stuff just does not appeal to me at all and frankly makes a hater out of me.

#i would be more forgiving if it werent for the fact that he markets his books as containing diverse representation #but nearly all his character tend to read like they were created using a checklist of things you need to include #in your story to advertise it as such #anyway none of this is to say i want him cancelled or to never make another buck off writing or whatever #but i cannot recommend his existing published works

honestly? the Monkey's Paw Curse is just kismet in action. wealthy western tourists fueling the exotic wildlife trade, they deserve whatsoever they get. public service.

#whoever performed that curse i applaud you and your conservationist efforts #boo hoo hooey your trinket made from the paw of an endangered species didn't work as advertised? #sue me in a court of law you hussy

I was planning on having the two next pages ready for tonight so I could keep my 2 pages every 2 weeks schedule but work has been chaotic so instead have an angry Luz. Pretend I just said it's her fault.

Hopefully I'll have the second page done this week-end! I'm halfway done but got a little bit ambitious

#pyrambles #the owl house #toh comic #Curses me and my love of weird angles (shakes fist at the clouds) #I don't think I'll do another full-color comic in a while though #it is sooo much work #I wish to never have to draw a single tree ever again #sorry all my comics will be indoors from now on #or on mars #lots of choices here #k see u like.... sunday... sunday should be fine #also I don't advertise that much but the page that's already done is on my ko-fi wink wink wink just saying

[spooksier]

also btw that passage about media consumption as activism and the idea of "gayboring" (this post) are twin sisters to me because when you see media consumption as activism and therefore as a reflection of real life, any gritty or unsavory or "weird" aspects of any marginalized culture/community gets completely sanitized in favor of portraying an "ideal" form of that community in the eyes of consumerism (i.e.: boring and safe and non-confrontational)

#text! #might need to write a whole paper about 'gayboring' as a concept because it is....it's so prevalent rn....... #ofmd s2 and wwdits post-s2. who said that. #not to say they're bad stories just that they (in my humble onion) are using queerness to avoid actually writing plots #bc who needs plots when you have ao3 tropes lol #it's literally why i stopped advertising myself as a 'queer artist/trans artist/black artist' bc its being turned into a selling point #rather than a real life #(again in my humble onion) #sorry im working on my final research paper im in a writing mood
