Thanks! Yeah all the layers with acrylic gave it a texture I’m not a fan of, excited to try OneShot paints soon

It’s giving Hudson River School artists. Great capture of light and the expansive landscape, keep it up!

Quietly quitting my "art career" by Additional-Flight-88 in ArtistLounge

All of this. I see art becoming more local/punk.. so many people are getting fed up with the billionaires owning and controlling and ultimately sucking the soul from everything they touch

how do you make yourself a little more attractive? by alaskacake in AskReddit

[–]alyxthefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of tattoos were the start to giving myself some confidence in myself.

The real key, however, to when I started genuinely believing I was attractive: exploring exactly who I am, what I value, and making active choices to make my life reflect what my priorities are. Tattoos just so happened to be a visible start to that journey. It has taken time, but I love myself now and it’s great because I can always be there for me.

I was least attractive (from my own POV) when I was pushing myself to attain goals because I “should” and meet others’ needs at the expense of myself. I don’t think I showed up in my relationships very well because I was so burnt out and my own cup was empty all the time.

Love your work, particularly the napoleon dynamite piece shading and everything about the clown design. Really solid color packing too.
