You Are My Universe 💫💜✨🩷

happy birthday dino

Exactly one year ago today, on dino's very birthday, I was dancing for my life on the national stage. I was across the country for dance team nationals with the hiphop team dino himself inspired me to join. Funny how the universe plays these things out. Do you know even beyonce herself used to have an alter ego so she could forget her nervous self and become that queen onstage? Well last year on dino's birthday was the most afraid I have ever been in my life. But it was also the proudest. I couldn't believe how far we'd come as a team and I as a dancer. When I stepped on stage for the first time, I was so afraid I wouldn't be sharp enough, charismatic enough, powerful enough. But as we took our places I envisioned myself as my biggest inspiration, the legend himself, right where I belonged between my incredible teammates. I can confidently say I gave it everything I had and it was far from perfect, but I know dino would be proud of me. Looking back on that day one year ago, it remains the hardest thing I've ever done. It really changed the way I see myself and imagine what I can do. I feel invincible, and it all leads back to one spark. So I wanted to honor the incredible dancer who pushed me to push myself and break my limits with a very special piece. So happy birthday lee chan, if only you knew the ways you've changed lives 🩵

I did it! I finally made a side blog: @curatorryn! Prepare for the onslaught of peoples' beautiful art 💜💜

TheKendallKathryn's side blog!

Here's the deal folks, as an artist who knows what it feels like to be supported or ignored here and viscerally wants to shower love on my fellow artists on tumblr without clogging my main art blog.... here ya go! I used to be the weird singular gushing commenter but now I can gush in reblogs like everyone else wahoo!

I imagine this blog will be overwhelmed with my current obsessions so you can expect loads of books and kpop fanart!

Keep creating, friends!

Happy 3racha anniversary! I made a painting in the colors of replay (my fave album) to celebrate the best skz music of all time and our brilliant songwriters!  I mean this album is straight masterpieces and every lyric feels right from the heart 🧡 hop is literally replay's resurrection and I'm here for it

Wingless version

“The white-haired Seer tilted his head to the sky, exposing long, jagged scars running down the sides of his pale neck. He uttered a harsh, cackling laugh.”

So apparently this is what happens when I’m supposed to be drawing an ancient civilization for school but get as far as a temple before my TPW brain takes over.
