The Third Life Crisis: Stories & doodles about life.

WAKE AND MAKE: Day 9 @jill_dehaan⁣ The healing properties of profanity! Hehe! Today's prompt was to choose your favourite cuss word and make some art with it. ⁣ ⁣ I was introduced to this word, fucknugget, by none other than Julia Garner's Ruth Langmore from Ozark. Who else has binged the second half of the final season?! Feeling all the feels... and so devo it's now all over... what did you think of the final? What are some of your favourite zingers of hers?⁣ ⁣ @goodtype https://instagr.am/p/CdpjSngszWu/

WAKE AND MAKE: Day 8 @lettering_ladies⁣ Today's challenge was to mix my style with a favourite artist of mine, @mrseaves101⁣ ⁣ What better way, than to mash it up a line from my favourite character from Breaking Bad, Jesse Pinkman? He does a HILARIOUS video where he breaks down the history and evolution of his iconic "bitch" lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woN8pnA5_wk 🤣🤣🤣⁣ ⁣ Who else is excited about the final season of better call Saul? It's no secret, but our faves Walt and Jesse will be in this final season! Can't wait!!! ⁣ ⁣ @goodtype https://instagr.am/p/Cdm6LGAszPn/

𝗪𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘: Day 7 @marykatemcdevitt⁣ Today's attempt at block lettering! Creating a word/phrase inside a designated shape.⁣ ⁣ I've recently binged watched the second part of season 4 of Ozark. ZOMG, the series was soooo good and I'm so devastated it's over.... Ruth of course, always had the best lines, so today's prompt is dedicated to a quote of her's.⁣ ⁣ Who was your favourite character on Ozark and what did you think about the show's ending?! ⁣ ⁣ @goodtype https://instagr.am/p/CdkZT9ysm8Z/

Wake & Make: Day 3 (a bit belated)⁣ 1) Make a cootie catcher (not sure why Americans call it so... it's like one of those paper fortune teller things you fold up with various creative prompts on each tab)⁣ 2) Depending on what you pick, you end up with some keywords to inspire your daily piece of art. I got Energised / Mid century / Digital / Quote.⁣ ⁣ As an Australian, this quote is just bloody hilarious. Before you come @ me, it's not literal. It's Australian slang, meaning "not here to fuck around/mess around/waste time. I'm here to get the job done." 😂⁣ ⁣ What's a slang phrase you love?⁣ ⁣ @goodtype https://instagr.am/p/CdhqilYNqQF/

I'm doing the month long creative challenge by @goodtype! Here's my take for prompts, 1, 4 and 5. Missed days 2 + 3 so far.. but aim to do them sometime. Better late than never? 😬 They're little 30 min or less, creative prompts created by different artists, designed to get you out of a design rut (or to try something new!) Join here if you're keen: https://ift.tt/cQeLNgK Best yet, it's free! 😁 Day 1: Draw what's in front of you, but draw it wrong. Day 4: Draw variations of the letter B, use that style to write BOLD, then decorate. Day 5: Draw a food pun Art doesn't always have to be super polished, but is always fun! Looking forward to the next prompts! 🤩 @coachscottyrussell #gtwakeandmake#womenwithpencils #womenart #ladieswhodraw #womeninart #creativewomenclub #ladieswhodesign #womenofillustration #illustratoroninstagram #smallartaccount #procreateartwork #girlsmakingmagic #madewithprocreate #femaleillustrator #theillustrationroom #girlillustration #illustracion https://instagr.am/p/CdSwQkgBetS/

Imagine if trees gave off wifi signals, we would be planting so many trees and we'd probably save a lot of animal habitats and protect their ecosystems. It's too bad they only produce oxygen, the stuff humans need to breathe. This is the 4th prompt in a drawing challenge I'm doing. Although I haven't done all the prompts so far, it's been so fun to draw stuff out of my usual and experiment with 'coloured pencil' brushes. Check out the next slide for the process vid! 🌿🌏Our Planet Week 🌎🌿is an illustration movement created to spread environmental awareness through illustration!

Yeah, ur cute, but r u good for my mental health? If the man in question is Pedro Pascal, the answer is always YES! 😍⁣ ⁣ P.S. Have you seen his Vanity Fair lie detector test video that came out yesterday? HAHA, the man is too honest, too funny and too precious. Humanity must protect him at all costs! 🤣😅 https://instagr.am/p/Cc15HlasS-v/

So excited to finally do a drawing challenge! Here's my entry for week 81 from @stillherestilllife featuring some fave childhood sweets and treats! Well.. maybe not the teeth lollies, but that was the only thing I could think of that was that shape! 😅 Can you guess what they are? What were your fave snacks growing up? 🥨🍭🍬🍫 #stillherestilllife #stilllifeillustration #womenwithpencils #womenart #ladieswhodraw #womeninart #creativewomenclub #ladieswhodesign #womenofillustration #illustratoroninstagram #smallartaccount #procreateartwork #girlsmakingmagic #madewithprocreate #femaleillustrator #theillustrationroom #girlillustration #illustracion https://instagr.am/p/CcuVCi3vjfD/

Our earth is warming up. It's bringing catastrophic climate change in the form of severe floods, more frequent bush fires displacing animals and destroying their habitat. We need to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century to keep the global temperature below 1,5°C.⁣ ⁣ Now is the time to change it all - the government, businesses and individuals must all take unprecedented action. We must take bold steps to preserve and protect our earth - to enable us, our kids and our kids' kids to survive on this planet. Otherwise, we'd need some hunky Matthew McConaughey-esque super pilot/engineer/astronaut and a brainy and beautiful Anne Hathaway-esque scientist/astronaut to do some crazy stuff in space to save our dying asses, Interstellar style! 😵⁣ ⁣ 🌿🌏Our Planet Week 🌎🌿is an illustration movement created to spread environmental awareness through illustration! This year @ourplanetweek are partnering with @onetreeplanted, to plant a tree for every illustration submitted during the challenge. Their goal this year is to plant another 5.000 trees!⁣ ⁣ With an upcoming federal election in Australia - we need the elected government to step up and lead by example. The window of opportunity is closing. We need to act now before it's too late.⁣ ⁣ #ourplanetweek #onetreeplanted #letsdrawthechange #earthday #eatmoreveggies #eatwholefoods #globalwarming #veganiseasy #thevegansclub #planetbasedfoods #eatyourcolors @officiallymcconaughey @annehathaway https://instagr.am/p/Ccrl_D-MbTf/

We're in the 3rd year of a global pandemic. For those of us lucky enough to get access to life saving vaccines, I understand that some people are longing for "normal life" to resume. But in reality, as much as we desperately yearn for pre-covid life to return, we're still officially recording thousands of cases daily. It was announced today that further restrictions would be wound back including mask rules and some isolation requirements. Although mask wearing is a small hindrance, they are very effective at limiting the spread, so as a healthcare worker, the winding back of these rules certainly makes me nervous, considering we're expecting a big resurgence of flu to come back too.⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile, this entire time, we've still been expected to turn up to work and exceed performance targets. We're still expected to be the supportive wife/mother/girlfriend/sister/friend. There's a literal war going on in Ukraine. The crazy rises in rent, petrol and living costs in general has everyone stressed. Not to mention the impending interest rate rise(s) and a federal election coming up! We're mentally, physically and emotionally burnt out. ⁣ ⁣ It's OK if you're not feeling 100%. I'm certainly not. Take time out to look after yourself. Drink plenty of water and prioritise sleep. Speak with a trusted friend, family member or seek professional help. Hug your dog (or cat if they let you, lol), take a walk and smell the beautiful flowers. It's time to stop being mean to yourself. A lot is going on right now. You're trying your best.⁣ ⁣ This wallpaper is a free downloadable for Struggle Street babes.

When you’re single during a pandemic, your family (read: Mother and Aunty) seriously thinks you’re doomed for life and tries to find any and all ways of setting you up. Even when they live 1000km away from you. Like the 1000km distance isn’t enough, but hellooooo, an ongoing pandemic and the daily stress that goes with it.⁣ ⁣ So what is the result, when you get a cross between Pete Wentz circa early 2000s and Bugdroid?
