#keep making things

its you..

(i tried, its shitty and i love it.)

KID THIS IS FANTASTIC WORK, IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN THE ONE I MADE WEBSTOR AND EVIL-LYN CARVE AFTER THEY BUNGLED THAT TRIP TO STONE CITY. I’M GLAD YOU TRIED AND I’M GLAD IT’S SHITTY AND I’M GLAD YOU LOVE IT. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CREATED YOURSELF AND IT IS UNIQUE IN ALL THE UNIVERSE. NO EVIL ROBOT COULD DUPLICATE THESE IMPERFECTIONS, AND NO HUMAN BUT YOU COULD HAVE MADE THEM.

AND AS MY OLD BOSS’S LAB PARTNER LIKES TO SAY, IMPERFECTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL.

THINGS HAVE BEEN QUIET AROUND HERE LATELY BECAUSE BLAH BLAH EXCUSES, BUT I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN THE VERY COOL AND NOT AT ALL BUMBLING MINIONS OF THIS BLOG AND YOU CAN REST ASSURED THE FORCES OF SNAKE MOUNTAIN WILL RETURN. OUT OF ALL THE POSSIBLE AVATARS FOR SKELETOR YOU CHOSE THIS ONE AND THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG AND THERE IS NO JUSTICE AND YOU’LL NEVER WIN, LIKE WHEN HE-MAN KEEPS REFUSING TO LET ME PLUNDER THE SECRETS OF CASTLE GRAYSKULL. TIMES LIKE THAT YOU JUST WANT TO SHAKE YOUR FISTS AND SCREAM, AND I’VE DONE THAT LOTS!!! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT FEELS EVEN BETTER? USING THAT ENERGY TO CREATE SOMETHING, LIKE A CUNNING SCHEME OR AN EVIL BONE TANK OR POSSIBLY A NICE DRAWING. THAT’S WHAT YOU DID! KEEP TRYING AND KEEP MAKING SHITTY THINGS AND KEEP LOVING THEM BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO AND PEOPLE MATTER.

keep creating keep pretending keep believing

I’m having this problem where I thought I was a writer and now all I can do is draw stuff because my brain is clogged with (Wrightworth) art projects, and it’s making me (a) not write because I don’t have time and (b) feel all the self-doubt in the world because I feel like my art is so terribly not up to some imaginary standard I have for ‘real art’ and what does that say about my writing??!?

I bet you all have moments of crushing self-doubt too.

But let’s turn those thoughts around.

It’s okay; bursts of self-doubt are normal. We all have them sometimes. They are not about giving up, even though they feel that way. They are about continuing, because the future is better than the now. I’m not going to stop drawing or writing. The only way to improve is to keep going.

I love all my Tumblr friends and I love seeing what you make with your art and words! I try to read everything you post but it’s so much, y’all, so seriously tag me if it’s something you for sure want me to see.
