the thing about art is that it was always supposed to be about us, about the human-ness of us, the impossible and beautiful reality that we (for centuries) have stood still, transfixed by music. that we can close our eyes and cry about the same book passage; the events of which aren't real and never happened. theatre in shakespeare's time was as real as it is now; we all laugh at the same cue (pursued by bear), separated hundreds of years apart.

three years ago my housemates were jamming outdoors, just messing around with their instruments, mostly just making noise. our neighbors - shy, cautious, a little sheepish - sat down and started playing. i don't really know how it happened; i was somehow in charge of dancing, barefoot and laughing - but i looked up, and our yard was full of people. kids stacked on the shoulders of parents. old couples holding hands. someone had brought sidewalk chalk; our front walk became a riot of color. someone ran in with a flute and played the most astounding solo i've ever heard in my life, upright and wiggling, skipping as she did so. she only paused because the violin player was kicking his heels up and she was laughing too hard to continue.

two weeks ago my friend and i met in the basement of her apartment complex so she could work out a piece of choreography. we have a language barrier - i'm not as good at ASL as i'd like to be (i'm still learning!) so we communicate mostly through the notes app and this strange secret language of dancers - we have the same movement vocabulary. the two of us cracking jokes at each other, giggling. there were kids in the basement too, who had been playing soccer until we took up the far corner of the room. one by one they made their slow way over like feral cats - they laid down, belly-flat against the floor, just watching. my friend and i were not in tutus - we were in slouchy shirts and leggings and socks. nothing fancy. but when i asked the kids would you like to dance too? they were immediately on their feet and spinning. i love when people dance with abandon, the wild and leggy fervor of childhood. i think it is gorgeous.

their adults showed up eventually, and a few of them said hey, let's not bother the nice ladies. but they weren't bothering us, they were just having fun - so. a few of the adults started dancing awkwardly along, and then most of the adults. someone brought down a better sound system. someone opened a watermelon and started handing out slices. it was 8 PM on a tuesday and nothing about that day was particularly special; we might as well party.

one time i hosted a free "paint along party" and about 20 adults worked quietly while i taught them how to paint nessie. one time i taught community dance classes and so many people showed up we had to move the whole thing outside. we used chairs and coatracks to balance. one time i showed up to a random band playing in a random location, and the whole thing got packed so quickly we had to open every door and window in the place.

i don't think i can tell you how much people want to be making art and engaging with art. they want to, desperately. so many people would be stunning artists, but they are lied to and told from a very young age that art only matters if it is planned, purposeful, beautiful. that if you have an idea, you need to be able to express it perfectly. this is not true. you don't get only 1 chance to communicate. you can spend a lifetime trying to display exactly 1 thing you can never quite language. you can just express the "!!??!!!"-ing-ness of being alive; that is something none of us really have a full grasp on creating. and even when we can't make what we want - god, it feels fucking good to try. and even just enjoying other artists - art inherently rewards the act of participating.

i wasn't raised wealthy. whenever i make a post about art, someone inevitably says something along the lines of well some of us aren't that lucky. i am not lucky; i am dedicated. i have a chronic condition, my hands are constantly in pain. i am not neurotypical, nor was i raised safe. i worked 5-7 jobs while some of these memories happened. i chose art because it mattered to me more than anything on this fucking planet - i would work 80 hours a week just so i could afford to write in 3 of them.

and i am still telling you - if you are called to make art, you are called to the part of you that is human. you do not have to be good at it. you do not have to have enormous amounts of privilege. you can just... give yourself permission. you can just say i'm going to make something now and then - go out and make it. raquel it won't be good though that is okay, i don't make good things every time either. besides. who decides what good even is?

you weren't called to make something because you wanted it to be good, you were called to make something because it is a basic instinct. you were taught to judge its worth and over-value perfection. you are doing something impossible. a god's ability: from nothing springs creation.

a few months ago i found a piece of sidewalk chalk and started drawing. within an hour i had somehow collected a small classroom of young children. their adults often brought their own chalk. i looked up and about fifteen families had joined me from around the block. we drew scrangly unicorns and messed up flowers and one girl asked me to draw charizard. i am not good at drawing. i basically drew an orb with wings. you would have thought i drew her the mona lisa. she dragged her mother over and pointed and said look! look what she drew for me and, in the moment, i admit i flinched (sorry, i don't -). but the mother just grinned at me. he's beautiful. and then she sat down and started drawing.

someone took a picture of it. it was in the local newspaper. the summary underneath said joyful and spontaneous artwork from local artists springs up in public gallery. in the picture, a little girl covered in chalk dust has her head thrown back, delighted. laughing.

#writeblr #warm up #this is longer than i wanted i really considered removing that part about myself and what i went thru #but i think it really fucking bothers me that EVERY time i talk about being an artist #ppl assume i just like. had the skill and ability to drop everything and pay for grad school. #like sir i grew up poor. my house wasn't a safe space. i gave up a FREE RIDE TO LAW SCHOOL. for THIS. bc i chose it. #was it fucking hard? was i choosing the hard thing?? yes. #but we need to stop seeing artists as lazy layabouts that can ''afford'' to just ''sit around and create'' #when MANY - if not MOST - of us are NOT like that. we have to work our fucking ASSES off. hard work. long and hard work #part of valuing artists is recognizing the amount we sacrifice to make our art. bc it doesn't just #like HAPPEN to us. also btw it rarely has anything to do with true talent. #speaking as someone with a chronic condition i hate when ppl are like u have it easy. like actively as i'm writing this my hands r #ACTIVELY hurting me. i haven't been posting bc my left hand was curled in a claw for the last week #this isn't fucking luck. after a certain point it's not even TALENT. it's dedication & sacrifice. #''u get to flounce around and do nothing with ur life'' is a narrative that is a direct result of capitalism #imagine if we said that about literally any other profession. #''oh so u give up 10 yrs of ur life to be a doctor? u sacrifice having a social life and u get SUPER in debt? #u need to work countless hours and it will often be thankless? well i wish i was that lucky'' #we should be applying that logic to landlords ONLY #''oh ur mom and dad gave u the money to buy a house? and all u did was paint it white and rent it? huh.''

sick of rich people with boring homes. if you're going to set the standard for desirable lifestyles I will never afford, would you at least put some color into it dangnabit

#you could afford to put in a movie room but not to paint the walls anything but white beige and off-yellow? #it's so depressing you have a house i could never afford and it is hideous. and not even in an interesting way

lizzie get two wolves 👍

#strato.txt #oil painting #wip #im worried ive unbalanced the composition w the second one on the right tho... its so much closer to the edge #ugh whatever. aunt lizzie is the focus here #i wish i knew what she actually looked like this is just cobbled together from general features of my family #solid build... dark curly hair... bigass ears. she could be one of my cousins. she could be me #ok rq im gonna lay out the story in the tags for anyone who hasnt seen the previous lizzie art #my great-something aunt lizzie was disabled and couldnt walk very well and she died young #she wanted to see the second floor of the farm house real bad but no one ever carried her up there and she died before seeing it #they buried her in a long white dress somewhere down at the creek. we dont know where her graves lost unfortunately #the night she was buried something wearing a white dress walked into the house and up the stairs and disappeared #and sometimes you can hear her down around the creek screaming #somewhere along the line wolves got mixed into the imagery for me #my uncle told me a story about another 'white thing' that was wolfish and would jump on cars #so i just assumed lizzie was a werewolf my whole life #anyways. i think her staying after she died was a manifestation of her desire for autonomy. maybe #maybe if shed had modern accommodations she wouldnt have felt the need to stick around. or maybe she would have idk #either way i think death afforded her control over her own desires in a way she hadnt experienced before #and i think thats why she still hangs around the creek #i hope she would like this. maybe ill take it down there and leave it out for a night when its finished so she can see

T-T oh how I wish I had been able to give myself a monthly hobby budget. A local yarn shop is hosting a sweater yarn dyeing workshop- 5 skeins for $125 CAD, extra skeins $25/per. It's cheaper than their in-house-dyed yarn! AND they still have room!

But alas, I have already pre-spent my birthday, xmas, AND my hubby's birthday budget (with his blessing) plus some of our expected tax return money on Hozier in August.

Plus groceries are going up so our wiggle room is gone. Over $1K CAD a month to feed a family of four! $75 is ordering out ONCE. And we do NOT buy brand names, fancy foods, or meat that's not on sale.

I really hope it happens again next year or something when I might be able to scrounge up some extra cash or I finally find a second job.

#vent post #please don't mind the money venting we're scraping by atm and I know a lot of ppl aren't #I just REALLY need to vent #I'm so lucky to have a job that has insurance bc our meds are $175/month with 90% coverage #and hopefully they start RRSP matching again bc that's the only thing we have going to savings atm for a down payment on a house #we need to buy a shitty house in the next year or two when we get kicked out of affordable housing for making too much #or we'll end up being lifelong renters where rent is easily $2k/month for a 3 bedroom illegal suite and only going up #it's my first ever RRSP or anything so there's only like $1k in there now and we're still dipping in and out of my overdraft #hopefully not for much longer now tho fingers crossed #I want to live somewhere where I don't have daily athsma attacks from an attached neighbor smoking indoors #and where we are allowed to paint the walls and have a dishwasher and clean the airducts and not have original 70s asbestos linoleum liftin #and have a working hot water heater we don't have to trick into heating multiple times a day

Ok but what if i get one of those japanese mini trucks.... Subaru sambar my beloved...?

As an update to my shop post:

My Valas and Kimmuriel plushies are delayed at the moment. I didn't have enough material to make their outfits and accessories, and I want to give them a much more distinct and quality look, so I am going to wait to release them until I'm satisfied with their final designs.

That said, some of the plushies I release over the next few weeks (and probably even a few from tomorrow's opening!) might resemble them depending on different interpretations/headcanons, so anyone who wants one sooner is absolutely welcome to buy one of the premades and reach out to reserve their special outfits when I have them available -- I'll even waive the shipping fees and give you guys a discount :3

#felted dragon shop #I'm working on designing a few different piwafwi types too #and some different house sigil buttons #buuuuut this is one hell of an expensive hobby after a certain point and I gotta wait until I can afford more materials D: #the piwafwi I have for MY Valas plushie looks great in photos but it's not very well designed #actually it's pretty crappy due to its prototype status and me not being used to sewing with stretch velvet by hand #so before I start selling more advanced outfits I wanna make sure they are good quality #PLUS I'm gonna use glow in the dark thread as opposed to that crappy paint I got #ALSO GONNA MAKE GROMPH AND JARLAXLE TOO #can't wait to make Gromph's honestly

im going to a show in bayonne tn and i keep thinking about ur "girl they are gentrifying bayonne" post

LMFAOOOOOOOO OMG

#NO BUT fr it's so weird there now there are a bunch of those millennial blocky apartment buildings that are painted bright colors #and you can tell they are targeting people who are commuting to nyc or at least want to be close to nyc #which was obviously always the case #but instead of favoring affordability and the ability to own a house it's just ugly apartments #that will prob explode if you plug too much shit into the outlets

[victorluvsalice]

It did, actually, though it took a while! Sun very reluctant to come out today. . .but eventually it got easier to see all the fun activities I was making my gang do, including:

-->Victor going around harvesting more unidentified plants with the help of his broom, encountering cute chipmunks along the way (and managing to avoid the “bear” that was wandering around and trying to talk to him)

-->Smiler and Alice starting a game of horseshoes at the picnic area! I had Victor go over and join once he was done collecting specimens -- I wasn’t sure for a moment if three Sims could play, as when he came over Smiler suddenly quit the game, but I had Alice invite them back in, and they all ended up taking a turn or two to throw. :) None of them were PARTICULARLY good, but they all seemed to have fun, at least! And I imagine it’s a difficult game to master.

-->The gang indulging in various creative pursuits -- I had Victor make a horse sculpture and a nice display shelf at the woodworking table to increase his Handiness; Alice paint the “station” sign (not a masterpiece, but a nice souvenir, at least!), and Smiler play some songs on the guitar (facing the wall, because apparently that guitar is not exactly in the right spot).

-->And, of course, our Angling Ace Smiler had to go fishing in the nice pond nearby! (Complete with a pretty rainbow!) They got some nice stuff -- a sturgeon, a bass, some parsley in a treasure box. . .

#sims 4 #the lazy save #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler always #the smiler #yeah so happy to see the sun come out even a little #I don't think it got fully sunny #but it at least got less GLOOMY #ticking off all the activities on here #horseshoes check woodworking check fishing check #and I quite like Alice's little painting there #it'll make another good one for the house #I really gotta make them some proper display areas and such #I think when they get back from this vacation I may spend a play session just doing some more house renovations #they've got some cash they can afford it #queued

Why in Sydney are painters in demand?

Painters are in high demand in Sydney and it's not hard to see why. Sydney is one of Australia's most vibrant and dynamic cities, offering a diverse range of architectural styles from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers, creating a constant need for skilled painting professionals. One of the main reasons Sydney painters are in demand is the city's booming real estate market. With a constant influx of residents and businesses drawn to Sydney's economic opportunities and cosmopolitan lifestyle, there is a constant demand for property maintenance and improvement.

Whether painting heritage houses in the eastern suburbs or beautifying commercial premises in the CBD, painters play an important role in improving the appearance and value of properties across the city. In addition, Sydney's climate of lots of sunshine and occasional rain can damage exterior surfaces, requiring regular painting and maintenance to protect against weather and damage. This constant need for maintenance further increases the demand for professional painters who can deliver quality work and lasting results.

Additionally, Sydney's reputation as a cultural center and tourist destination means that painting services are always in demand in hospitality, retail and entertainment venues that strive to create inviting and memorable experiences for visitors. Basically, in Sydney painters are in demand because they play a key role in preserving the city's architectural heritage, increasing property values ​​and creating the vibrant and dynamic aesthetic that defines Australia's largest metropolis.
