Bo Burnham in the livestream

I was very happy to hear Jack talk about Bo Burnham in such detail during the stream. After hearing him talk about him so fondly, I went back and listened to “Can’t Handle This” again. I remember watching “Make Happy” for the first time last summer and I remember crying at the end as well, and I wasn’t really sure why at the time. After going back to it, I cried again. And this time I think I know why. Jack mentioned the lyric where he says “A part of me loves you, part of me hates you. Part of me needs you, part of me fears you”, and I really resonate with that. I don’t have the kind of audience that Bo or Jack or any other well known person has, but I’m still a creator in my own right. And to me, that line talks about what it means to put your work out into the world for others, to be loved, hated, and judged by either everyone or no one. If that makes sense. And at the end of the day, our work is all that we have. And we struggle to find a happy medium where our work and, in turn, ourselves are validated. And that’s something a lot of people struggle with, or at least I know I do. And too much recognition, on either end, can be scary. That kind of thing has the potential to eat away at a person’s happiness. “… Laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself”. A lot of the time, we need other people to validate us, so I understand where this is coming from too. And then in “Are You Happy”, where he says, “On a scale from 1 to 0, are you happy? ‘Cuz you’re on your own from here so are you happy?” That’s what really fucking gets me. At this time in my life, where I’m living away from home with nothing but my work, it’s easy for me to become too consumed in what I’m doing. And if it’s all I have and I put all my stake in it and nothing comes of it, will I still be happy having tried? That’s a loaded fucking question, but it really gets me thinking… Anyway, I was glad it got discussed in the livestream. Thanks for bringing it up @therealjacksepticeye. Glad I got to revisit it and think about some things. For now I guess I’ll do some more of my work and eat cookies.

New OSB painting- this one is based off a line in NateWantsToBattle’s song The Wrecked and The Worried

Hey guys! I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve actually done any updates, but I’m coming back to you guys again with a new painting series I started!

Each painting in this series is based on a song I listened to over and over again throughout the course of the process. I wanted to take the song and really think about how I felt listening to it, and try to capture it using fluid acrylic paint in an abstract painting. These are some of the paintings that came of this whole process.

This particular set are all based on songs from NateWantsToBattle. In order, they are:

1. Live Long Enough to Become the Hero (Sandcastle Kingdoms)

2. Twisted (Songs of Time)

3. Time to Go (Songs of Time)

4. Branded (Sandcastle Kingdoms)

If you’re interested in checking them out for yourself, you can find them on my Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaintingFire448

I’ll be posting the other paintings I worked on so far in just a bit, so keep a look out for those too! If you have a particular song you like that you don’t see in what I’ve got up so far, you can message me through here or Etsy, or you can email me at paintingfire448@gmail.com with special requests.

Tem made a surprise appearance at my cool leg graduation 

Here’s another sharpie-on-black drawing that I’ve been playing around with lately for y’all! This one gave me a chance to experiment more with the figure, line work, and texture, and ultimately was a really fun, loose drawing to make!

Sharpie on plexiglass drawing I made of a moment that I’ve observed on a recent walk

* After this incident, a lot of you asked about the proper way of picking up Sans.

* Now you know. Don’t break the rules, for Papyrus is ever-watchful.

Ok so the 3D printed sans and flowey keychains are printed, painted, and ready to go! I love the way these came out and I hope you guys do, too!

If you’re interested in getting one for yourself, they’re available right now on my etsy shop! (Link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaintingFire448?ref=hdr_shop_menu )
