Painting Assignment

November 18, 2021 - December 16, 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to paint something that has a meaning.

I'm gonna yap about my thoughts on this.

I hate it when teachers/people start developing this notion that every piece of art needs to have a meaning. I get that that's why a lot of people do art (whether to convey a message or just vent an emotion), but once it's forced it's no longer an outlet. I like doing art because I do. And if it has a meaning to me, that's for me to know. Everyone has their own experiences that vary their interpretations, which leads to people seeing stories that you may not have intended (which is fine). But I don't see the reason for chastising the artist if you don't see a meaning to their work.

Idk, I just feel that once you force an artist to make art that has a meaning, you're taking away the freeing aspect of art. With art, you're the one in control of what you create and the messages you send, but once it's forced it defeats the purpose.

Anyways,,, I needed to paint something that has a meaning, which i really didn't feel like doing. The way around this was to paint something that has so many fucked up aspects that most people would think this says so much about society. Dead animals? check. fucken,, fire? check. impossble perspective?? you love it babyeee

I had fun painting this piece, but it did take me a bit to get over my angery about me having to have a meaning. I eventually leaned into thinking how funny it was that peoplewld think this says so much about society when I was just dickin around.

(also this assignment had a written portion where you have to explain the meaning, but I never did that 🤠👍)

Ohhhh here I am, milking the Big Indie Show. I quite liked ep 1, but I've been on the fence about 2 and 3, since the 'find an exit' central focus has kind of been dropped. I get that the exit was fake, but I still feel that Pomni should be a lot more annoying (ask questions) about anything and everything regarding how the circus works. It's only at ep 3 (at time of creating this post), so we'll see how I feel about the future eps.

Really like the pose I came up for her here. Very anxious 🌚. That's the thing I've really enjoyed while making the sticker designs, I really want to convey the character's personality with their pose.

Sticker Promo Sign

November 3, 2024 Stickers + Gel pen on Cardstock

Little sign I made to promote my stickers because I was committed to going overboard for the cute little artist's alley.

There are no actual stickers here, rather I used the test prints and just glued them to the board. That way there was no/less waste.

I then doodled little things related to the game/show each batch of stickers are from around the board, plus flowers to match 'cyclamen' 🌸🌺🌷

Discord art server pfp challenge with the prompt "winter"

First illustration I did on the tablet I bought for uni notes and drawing because my wacom tablet was bugging out nd making me go crazy. Used krita though and it was just as annoying cos krita works like ass on my tablet

The queers are taking over

Data final project where we had to make a carnival game and calculate the probability of winning/losing/all of the possible outcomes.

The piece on the bottom was a holder for a plinko board my friend made for this project. Didn't get any pictures of it 😢

This blog functions as my chronological art archive/diary.

To keep it tidy I do not have asks open nor do I reblog others' posts.

Bug me however you like on @flowerspeakz. There you can also find a lot of my yappery and wips/random doodles of mine that aren't deserving of a formal post here.

~May 2020

Redraw of a dragon chilling on earth i did wayy back when (whose location I do not know, prolly long been in the trash).

I wanted to laminate/put clear tape over this to turn it into a sticker but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Honestly i have no idea if this was actually redrawn in 2020, since I found it recently and idk if it could have survived four years in my house without being damaged at all. Oh well

Printer Ink + Matte Vinyl on Sticker Paper

Stickers I made for Anifest. The final end to this long sticker journey!

There are 20 total designs:

Beetlejuice | Sandworm

Hellboy | Angel of Death, Hellboy

Alien | Xenomorph

Pan's Labyrinth | The Pale Man

Hollow Knight | Grimm, The Knight

Omori | Basil, Omori, Something

Arcane | Jinx

Hazbin Hotel | Alastor, Lucifer, Alastor's Minions, Husk

Hades | Zagreus

Coraline | Coraline Doll, Cocoa Beetle

The Amazing Digital Circus | Pomni, Jax, Gangle

I wanted to print the stickers on my mother's colour printer, but the colours and the black were slightly offset so I used my uni's printer service.

Applying the vinyl was tricky (messed up a few times), but once I learned the tricks it went by pretty smoothly. I did half of the vinyl application in the makerspace, and the other half at home on the 3rd.

I also wanted to use the makerspace's silhouette cutter thing to cut out the stickers, but I didn't know you had to run the paper through that machine before printing out the sticker design for it to work. Thus began the saga of cutting them out by hand.

Cutting it wasn't tooooo bad. It was just monotonous work so I could talk w people/watch something while doing it (watched Terrifier with my family while cutting most of them which worked because I don't really looking at pure gore). It did make my hand hurt like a bitch after a while, though.

I only ended up cutting like half of them anyways. My plan was to cut them by demand if needed during the artist alley.

There were quite a few defects by the end (mainly because of the vinyl, but there was a printing error for one of the sheets), and I ended up putting those stickers on my waterbottle. Me and my friend also tested their waterproof-ability by scrubbing at said stickers on my waterbottle with a soapy sponge. Needless to say the vinyl works really well!!
