I'm built different (worse) #art

Materials: Holbein Gouache, Winsor and Newton Gouache, Wood block, princeton brushes

Word on the Street is: Sometimes when you feel desperately sad and that you have no fate, you just need to chill out for a few days. Like. dude... wait. Just wait it out. You'll feel yummier. Also try baking cauliflower? It's so good. Makes you fart tho.

"Should've been seeing the hat-man, instead I was cosplaying as a corpse on Lion King II bedsheets" is a crazy awesome sentence

paint is so smooth didnt even realise it was wood

No cuz they usually aren't heroic deeds just weird accidents. Like I tend to sleep 10 hours every night, but once I stayed up for 60 hours doing an assignment last minute that the teacher gave us 2 months to finish. For those 60 hours the paper was all I could think about. I only ate like some fries and an apple. I was so focused I literally don't remember anything else that happened during that time. That was the first all nighter in my life and the paper turned out amazing, the teacher even said I must've spent so much time on it. I have never experienced such concentration in my life since. I can't even pull an all nighter anymore.

The one time my grandma took Benadryl, she saw imaginary ants crawling on her bed and started hitting the comforter. We were so frickin confused about why she was hitting the bed and saying "Die dang it!" 😂

[delaneykeller]

When I take Benadryl I see spiders especially if I don't sleep so oh boy I'd have been seening so many imaginary spiders

[MeditatingAstro]

Watching the paint settle in the cracks of the wood grain with those initial strokes: SO SATISFYING

[timothyyoung]

Somewhere, there is a series of fantasy novels that deserve to be illustrated by this woman. One of my favorite artists 😊

“Cosplaying as a corpse on Lion King 2 sheets” 🤣🤣

I have severe insomnia and I always find it wild how well I can function when it gets extra bad. Like, on a day to day basis if I’m particularly sleepy I’ll be kinda useless, but then sometimes my brain kinda flips and I’ll be unable to sleep for 2-3 nights and feel completely fine the entire time

[ruthbennett]

You are not alone. I also get amped up on Benadryl, rather than the sleepy effects everyone says they feel.
Coffee also calms me. My Dr. said it’s a neurodivergent thing & I shouldn’t worry about it.
(Also a spectrum thing? Worrying MORE when being told it’s nothing to worry about 😂😂😂)

Watching the paint fall into the wood is so gorgeous

[kumgokiri]

you always make this paint look so edible

[austinoutofcontext]

Benadryl always makes me sleepy how did this happen for you 😭

[jadeb]

I love it ! The character reminds me of a painting of Lucrecia, especially the one from Lucas Cranach, with the red clothing, the jewels and the knife. I don't know if this was intended but it's really cool either way.

[stiffk]

We used to call 3 days straight a bloody good weekend. But then it was usually an outdoor rave and we had something a bit stronger than Benadryl.

[elpollodiablo]

This turned out so pretty. And I enjoy the weird little storys from your life.

[Dax]

it's really cool seeing you lay down the paint, then suddenly some paint pops and boom wood lines

[harenhallharfoot]

I like that we got to see the finished piece for longer, thank you for all that you do!

[CedarCritter]

i can never take benadryl to go to sleep because i'll end up waking up drowsy for the rest of the next day
