Sorry this is so fucking funny omg
Brad Dourif in Millennium - S1.E13 (1997)
Genuine question, but how do you deal with knowing it’s impossible to create anything truly original? I’m a huge sci fi and horror fan, I love fucked up concepts and situations, but whenever I think I’ve come across a new concept, I eventually find something that touches upon the same or similar idea, and I lose all motivation to write. Like your story the fluid. I found it poignant and funny, but I just found ‘half a life’ by kid bulychev, and it sounds quite similar
Well I've listened to enough punk bands to know that almost everything has been done before but if you have enough fun with it it doesn't matter. I'm certainly not trying to be truly original, just to do what I like in a way that's fun for me. Sometimes I try to challenge myself to include a different kind of perspective, or an emotion I don't usually try to evoke, or to include an observation or a feeling, or to make something funny out of something that's not, but I'm not trying to think a thought that no one's ever had before. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll happen. Sometimes a wrinkle in your brain will yield something you didn't see coming. But I don't think you can try for it.
he's a monstrous heartless villain to YOU. he's a pinup girl to me
Oh damn, I think your posts are why I started drawing Brad Dourif characters as religious art guys! By the time I got anywhere with it, I guess I forgot. Thanks for the inspiration 😘
Draw your babygirl like Satan, Lord of the Damned!
(tbh tho isn't Lucifer just, like, one of the original babygirls anyway??)

Best collection of screengrabs I've seen from this movie! (A little offput that it seems to be AI upgraded? weirdly smooth)
Idk what Buster Keaton was thinking shoving himself and another man in a dressing room, wrestled in there for almost 5 minutes straight until all their clothes were gone, leaving only underwears and he thought it was funny and not super homo-erotic.
Ah, the 1920’s
i've been making a lot of bad art lately which is one of the world's most healing activities but if you have perfectionist tendencies you really have to commit to volume (if you make ONE bad painting it's just a bad painting whereas if you make 20 it's a meditative practice!). unfortunately we live in a one bedroom apartment and now we have to commit a significant portion of our storage to bad paintings. i would recycle them but unfortunately i need spare bad paintings to weave together into bad papercraft!!
anyway so i decided to move my bad artmaking into a new, smaller sphere and make bad linocuts. and let me tell you. if you are trying to get past thinking "my art should be good," linocut is a wonderful teacher. everything can be going great and then you exert slightly too much palm pressure and WHOOPS! sliced the face off. luckily the craft is so niche that negative self-talk can't really stick to it. i'll think something like "everybody else's linocuts are perfect. nobody else fucked up their linocut of a hot lady sphinx." and this is such a patently bananas sentence that i can simply laugh fondly at it and continue hacking away at my little rubber square. recommend
