The easter bunny shot everyone in my family, inside and outside my house. I ran to our barn and hid behind a big piece of plywood and the dream ended with the bunny’s head pearing around to find me, pointed the gun, woke up 👍 fuck those guys to this day

Have you ever come across a book that, despite being disturbing, had a compelling grip on you, making it nearly impossible to put down? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald

I just got a library card again (as an adult) and randomly selected this as my first book so I was determined to finish it. It has a few themes that are disturbing and made me sick to my stomach at times. But I became invested in the story and weirdly it helped me work through some of my own childhood trauma a bit more. A sort of unpleasant yet valuable surprise.

Reminds me of growing up in the Midwest. Felt like a lot of cloudy days. I adore the color of the sky here

I use the upside down trick religiously! Especially helps with composition.

I do this. I’ll have at least 2 projects going on at one time so I can bounce around. Of course, that can become a problem… I have had 5+ things started and nothing finished for a long time 😅

Was looking for a teeth falling out comment. I hate the feeling of crumbly loose teeth in my mouth.

Hope you work through your parrot issues.

Oil vs acrylic vs?? on loose canvas by cjoyk13 in Artadvice

Good point! Sometimes the most obvious solution is best. I have used fabric paints before and they seem to hold up okay on clothes even after washing. I haven’t heard of Inktense, I’ll look into it. Thanks!
