not sure what your style or creative vibe is BUT i love the idea of little conceptual worlds. like “shooting” stars (shooting stars down from sky w gun. maybe some evil capitalist regime?) and then you have stars as a starting point. concepts like melting down stars (like metal?) star face (character/mask for anti star shooting?) or somehow putting stars indoors (like a baby mobile made of real stars?) the possibilities are endless. find a little concept, make a world, make pieces based off of that 🤷♀️

I’ve been seeing the art formula of some type of western design + some type of quote blowing up online for months. I follow 5-6 artists that have made their living off of perfecting this. And every time I saw it I thought “Oh I could do that.”
But I never would because that’s not my usual style and I wouldn’t ever want to include that in my portfolio. You know, my super specific & super analyzed portfolio.
And it just got me a few days ago — Why not just try it? And see what it’s like? What if I do it and not include it in my portfolio at all! What if it’s…just…for…fun??? — I stopped taking myself super seriously.
So go and try the thing out. Maybe it’s for you, maybe not. But it might be a lot of fun. I know I loved making my little cowboy below.

This is not a promotion; I just wanted to share it because I like it, and I don't have anyone to share it with.
Do you think all modern aspiring designers are immersed in avant-garde forms and dark aesthetics? I thought so too, but Spooky Woods offers a worthy alternative.
He specializes in sculpting various silhouettes from clay: both well-known characters and his own inventions. His work is insanely beautiful, lively, bright, and attractive. The aesthetic of his figures reminds games like Never Hood, or animations like Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and others; and his fusion of vibrant, colorful identity with significant figures from hip-hop culture is sure to catch the eye of any fan.
The artist's range includes unique t-shirts with prints of original, distinctive characters, clay figurines, skateboards, and much more. Everything looks unique, creatively played with, and executed to an impeccably high standard.

My style of collecting tattoos now is similar to art collecting where I choose specific artists I know suit my look and I specifically want to collect their artworks on me. So that could be an option if you decide that’s the way you would like to start.
I love a range of different styles artwork but it’s important for me to have tattoos that look like I was born with them in my skin than tattoos that look out of place or don’t suit my vibe, so when I choose an artist I look at their portfolio and know immediately when I want their work on my body versus when I would just appreciate their work on others bodies.
That said it’s based on your collecting style too. most importantly finding an artist that has a consistent portfolio (doesn’t copy off other artworks that are not specific to their style) is something I look out for. A consistent artist would be able to give you the specific style you’re looking for in their own unique way.

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year.
i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing.
my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie.
sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3
happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
