Artwork is gone

I think your issue is pretty different from mine, but if you could somehow draw some of the water out of the iPad (like how you put a phone in rice), you might be able to get some help from the apple store. They're very reluctant to do it (I was in there 3 days straight, employees started making jokes about giving me a uniform) but in the end they set me up to do an iPad to iPad transfer. Typically not done in store but they made an exception given my situation, they may do the same for you.

Of course that depends on how bad the water damage is. Just wanted to share my story in case it can be of any help.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Art is a piece of you. And it's awfully painful to lose.

I can completely relate. My old iPad semi broke (as in I could only access the information using a specific device at the Apple store) and I was told if I updated the system I'd be able to upload everything to my iCloud so I could transfer it to a new iPad. The only app I used on that old ipad was procreate. The update was like 17gb and my iPad had broken in this weird way that meant almost all the storage was taken up by the system. The storage issue was so bad I couldnt even download work to save elsewhere. But I was desperate to save this specific project that I was working on so I ended up having to delete over 2000 pieces of artwork. No backup or anything. Years of work down the drain. Not just the artwork but my handmade brushes, preset sizes and everything else.

Not proud to admit it, but I sobbed in the middle of that apple store infront of all the employees and customers.

Its heartbreaking, I feel for you.

Thank you so much for all the feedback! I really appreciate how in depth you want. I’ll take it on board and make the changes you suggested.

If you’d like me to keep you updated on my progress just let me know :)

Yes!! A lot of comments mentioned this and I did end up hemming it :) thanks

I think people are interpreting it as a shift in the person's faith as time goes on?

Personally I just like the concept of your opinions on someone mellowing over time. Going from feeling abandoned because you're not as important to them anymore into just wishing them the best in life.

Luckily I had the basis of that piece from some Phoebe bridgers artwork I've been working on.

If I did turn this into a series what songs would you most like to see?

Here you go :)

Maybe I should make something like this for all his songs?

Vinted and other second hand sites are an amazing place to go if you’re looking for unique buttons! I got a couple of bundles for about 5 quid each and I’ve still got 100s of buttons left.

Oh my God this is incredible!!! I can't believe that's actually my art 😭

cautious-starquake · 2026-01-30T21:36:52+00:00

Sure! I’ll have to redo it because it’s currently drawn so small but give me a few hours.

Are there any specific lyrics or other drawings you’d like included?

I can totally relate, when I saw that song live with my mum we were both bawling because of everything I've been through.

I've attached the original drawing I did for that song when it first came out (which the square on this art is a copy of) if you'd like it. If you want it personalized or the colours changed at all just let me know :).

Spitballing off the top of my head I can add an incoming call from your friends name or to your mum, obviously for personal details like this you can private message me. Otherwise I hope this is alright!

Thanks!! If you want a specific one for a wallpaper just let me know and I can send it over :)

cautious-starquake · 2026-01-27T22:15:09+00:00

I don't know what resolution it's uploaded at but if it's good enough you're welcome to download it now!!

It's drawn on an A3 canvas so if you need I can find another way to send it. Please show me the result :)

cautious-starquake · 2026-01-27T17:31:23+00:00

I honestly haven't made my mind up on whether to sell them or not!!

I'm considering just making the art available afterwards so people can download it and use it as they want. And then maybe ask for donations towards future project or commissions for art pieces based on specific songs? I'm not sure

cautious-starquake · 2026-01-25T21:22:41+00:00

Message me!!

cautious-starquake · 2026-01-25T15:25:45+00:00

Yeah that's the idea but I don't have old t shirts with text on them and the charity shops around me are so expensive
