doing some name change shenanigans. as of now:

irbete -> werewitchcrafts (to match my only slightly less neglected instagram account)

domuklade -> irbete (for my more active everyday spam blog)

(insert the "when do you start overthinking? - when i wake up..." meme here. if i knew how to overthink less, getting back to posting here wouldn't take literal years.)

An important part of making art is just not doing anything. Just letting weird stuff percolate. Absorbing more or less useless information and then pinning it onto a cork board like a terrible alcoholic detective but with no thread, just things pinned to other things and most of the things are just two word phrases like ANCIENT CRAB and DIRT LABYRINTH and MEAT CASTLE that don’t mean anything. Just moving through the world, making nothing, eating bread, having prophetic dreams and letting insane thoughts build up and up and up until they can finally crystallize into something that exists outside of your body and you can enter a blissfully thought free phase of your life where you just get to glue small objects to other small objects for 18 hours straight 

Unfortunately the other part of making art is actually making it

I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be.

Martha said to me, very quietly: “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.“  

from Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham, Agnes de Mille.

opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"

there’s no bad art! there’s no good art either. there’s no art at all because you haven’t drawn any

#first of all how dare you #other people's posts #lol #about me #listen i'm trying okay

good grief, sitting down to properly analyze your art process and art style does make you go kinda feral though

#it's been 2 hrs of non stop analyzing and writing and pondering and i'm not done yet #2 hrs of actually writing it down #this stuff is on my brain always #when i sketch and when i don't sketch and when i'm outside and when i can't sleep #smth smth taking your art seriously #figuring out your own shortcomings and how to move forward #this blog is definitely quiet but i think i'm just... #fermenting in the background #art life #text post #diary #about me

artists when drawing: i want to draw. i have no motivation. i am doodling. drawing is hard. i am never touching a pencil again. i miss drawing.

making art is just like showering………can’t get up and do it, can’t stop when you’ve started. you want to crawl out of your skin if you don’t do it often enough. everything in the world is the exact same

Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Cheng

— 

Was sketching and trying to figure out how exactly this man looked to me when something great happened. I dunno, art is hard, but I am very, very proud of how this one turned out and wanted to document it.

Thank you, Hua Chengzhu! <3 It’s been an absolute pleasure drawing you.
