I'm finished with art for the semester soooo here's what I've been workin on! All assets are my own. I used a DSLR camera along with Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint

A photo of a stop sign with the text STAY on the top and LEAVE on the bottom

A photo in the desert. A painted arrow on a rock points toward a small sign in distance which reads "are you lost?"

A photo in the desert. A run-down billboard has faded paint on it that reads "would you like to be?" There is a painting of an eye beside it.

A green-tinted photo of what appears to be an exit sign, the sign's text reads LONELY.

A photo of a billboard in the evening, it reads "are you proud of what you've done?" Speed limit signs beside it read "May God have mercy on your so ul" The signs in the background have drawings of eyes on them.

An out of focus photo of a billboard at night, the text on it reads "Did you really think you could leave this behind?"

A photo of a diamond-shaped orange sign that reads "Won't someone think of the children?" and has an image of a pedestrian-crossing style adult with a child above it. The background of the photo is flipped so the sky is the ground and the ground is the sky, but the sign is right side up.

A pedestrian crossing sign above 3 signs below it that read "ARE YOU SURE?"

Two no parking signs reading "No memories beyond this point" and "Move along" with a drawing of a mushroom below it

A one-way sign attached to a stop light in the late evening, the sign reads "HAVE MERCY"

A bike lane sign reading "LOST DREAMS" below it is a white and red sign reading "no future here for us"

A do not enter sign reading "this goes nowhere"

An image of an electrical box surrounded by industrial pipes. The text on the box reads "your blood is forfeit"

A white sign with red text affixed to a larger sign, it reads "this can go two ways" and has a dual-facing arrow beneath it

A railroad crossing sign, around the edge of it wraps text reading "history is a flat circle"

A photo of an industrial-looking pipe surrounded by concrete. Affixed to it is an orange sticker that simply reads "run."

A photo from inside a parking garage, a sign painted to the wall reads "I do not want to be SEEN" and a sign on a concrete pillar reads "leave me alone" with a drawing of an eye crying above it

A photo inside of a parking garage, a black sign hanging from the ceiling reads "Don't Look" with a drawing of an eye to the left of it.

A giant pile of signs, reflecting back from the flash of the camera. In various corners of the piece read the text "you should run run run" there are drawings of eyes everywhere, and the focus of the piece is an upside-down pedestrian crossing sign with an eye for a head.

A do no enter sign beside a lake, the text reads "turn around"

A photo indoors of a white sign with orange text protruding from the left of the wall. The sign reads "WOE"

A photo of a nuclear shelter sign, below it is the text "HOME"

A photo of a diamond-shaped orange sign with a beautiful orange sunset behind it. It has many crying eyes drawn on it.

A photo of a large analog clock with a glowing face at night. Instead of numbers, there is just the word "no." There is an American flag in the background.

An image of a no parking sign with a firey sunset behind it. The sign reads "fight for your life" with an eye with an x through it above it.

A photo of a lamp post with a firey sunset behind it. There is a banner affixed to it reading "the writing was on the wall"

Feel free to send asks about the unaltered photos/photo locations, cause some of the original signs were pretty interesting tbh

The text "Dawn of The Final Day: 24 Hours Remain" from the game 'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask' is transposed over a painting, 'The Death of Julius Caesar' by Vincenzo Camuccini, which depicts the fatal stabbing of Julius Caesar during the Ides of March.

adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards

a good day makes good sleep

starting with a lil treat gets the work done

More things to do is less overwhelming

don’t make a plan just get in there

you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)

genuinely so scary that you can't access the page on the ssc website that guides you through changing your sex designation. so so fucking scary. they are already making our lives harder. they are already taking what little resources we have.

Having aesthetic attraction to a character without a trace of any romantic or sexual feelings attached is so strange

It's like there's a guy (gn) on my screen. I like how he looks and the way he moves. I don't want to have sex with him, I don't imagine myself dating him or something of that sort. There's no physical reaction at all.

But there's this ephemeral urge to, I don't know, simultaneously gnaw on him like a bone, study him under a microscope, encase him in chrome and put in my living room, and watch him do the same gesture that ticked me on a loop for approximately three million times?

Does that make sense??

a screenshot of a post in subreddit AskReddit. the title reads, "Left handed people - what in the world just doesn't work properly for you?"

a response by user bk775: "Ball point pens. They are designed for the ball to be pulled across the paper. When you're a lefty you push it across the paper and alot of them do not write correctly because of it." There is a reply that says, "Wait... I've had this problem all my life and never realized why. Always looking at pens that stopped working and seeing they still had plenty of ink left." Another reply says, No shit... this whole post is teaching me all the ways being a lefty sucks that I never realized. Brooms, pens, everything else. I just thought every product was a peice of shit, and it turns out it was me all along." Below is a third reply that says, "Came looking for this answer!! It took me 46 yrs to have this click in my brain. I hate certain pens. As a kid I wanted so badly to use the glitter gel pens and couldn't figure out why they never worked for me. I figured it out watching my spouse and kid write with a pen after I couldn't get it to work. It also was the point where my spouse was able to see the world from my lefty perspective. He is basically like "This shit sucks for you"."

A reply that says "Spiral bound notebooks. Can openers. Lead pencils and certain gel pens smudge as you write. Certain computer mice if your like me and only want to use one left handed (thank God for left handed gaming mice)". A reply to this comment says " had a math professor that would take me down a letter grade for having smudges on homework.. I told her am left handed and her response to me was to get a left handed notebook... I failed that class, biggest waste of 300". A second reply says "I had a French teacher who gave me detentions for using ballpoint pens instead of fountain pens (I told her when I use fountain pen it's illegibly smudged), and then gave me detention when I used fountain pen and it smudged. 15+ years on and I still think about how much I loathe Mrs Smith."

a comment that says "chairs for students (when there are individual chairs) have writing pad on the right hand side. That sucks." A reply to this comment that says, Most of the classrooms in college had 1 or 2 left handed like those and all of us lefties always rushed to see who could get one first". Another reply: "It's funny cause in my area, as the lefty desks were on the outside, the people who wanted to leave early would grab them and actual lefties never got to use them."

A comment that says, "Try drawing a line, 'pulling' a pen and then 'pushing' it to feel the difference in smoothness. Also mugs with logos on one side that are not visible when used in the left hand. Or site sign-in books in narrow spaces in doorways, with a pen on the wrong side - oddly common. Rulers with the numbers on the wrong side."

A comment that says, "Every lawnmower l've used has the pull cord on the right side. This means I either have to use my weaker hand to start it or stand in an awkward position to pull with my left." A reply says, "Add chainsaws and hedge trimmers etc to that too. They put the controls so you have to have a right handed stance, with sided switches. Throws my entire body off and makes every job require extra effort."

"haven't seen anyone say this yet but tutorials, especially for things like crocheting. i have to mirror everything in my head"

a comment: "Eating at a table next to somebody right-handed. As a lefty, you get used to keeping your elbow tucked in and down to prevent hitting the person sitting to the left. Right-handed eaters (not all) just let that chicken wing flap."

A comment that reads: "I didn't see anyone mention this one yet, Brooms, where the stick screws into the brush part. The way I naturally grip a broom and sweep causes it to gradually unscrew itself until the brush part falls off So, I have to swap which hand is on top and my entire stance so my sweeping motion will constantly screw the stick and brush tighter together instead. It's easily manageable but sometimes at the end of a long day of work you're tired, sweeping up and not thinking about having to do it opposite, the broom detaches." a reply says "Oh is THAT why the broom always unscrews for me. That makes so much sense"

and my personal favorite:

a comment that says "credit card readers always angled for right handers". a response says "Or the pen is attached to the right side and the wire isn't long enough". A second reply says "The instant rage I just felt from reading this. Ugh, I hate this so much"

i love getting validation as a lefty but also learning about new fun ways it continues to suck
