Okay, I have been sharing my art on Wednesday and making it wordless… But Words are what I do best. It had been bothering me. I do art in so many different mediums. I actually enjoy talking about it. I don’t plan to share art every week. Some weeks I just want to discuss technique and such. Or share links to art that I found online and love. This gives me a platform that I am not wordless. I have lost my voice in the past and with it my power. I hate being powerless. Art is not about being powerless. Art is an expression of self. There is no greater power than being yourself. So, Let’s learn about art and share the journey of the artist together. Join me and share who you are as well.
I decided that I needed to change things a little. I am growing complacent on my blog, and that makes it no fun for me. I will start doing Webcomic Wednesday every week and take Thursday to talk about art/Share art (Artsy Fartsy Thursday). I will move my occasional Tea Party posts to Saturday.
Now I have at one point or another had over a hundred webcomics I followed. The update schedule varies between daily to whenever the artist remembers…I still have links to several comics that have ended because I enjoyed them so much. (I.E. https://www.girlswithslingshots.com & http://yume.rosalarian.com/archive/ ) I cried when they ended. And I have fallen behind periodically in my reading of the updates, only to revisit and start the arduous process of getting caught up all over again. I love the idea that the comics are waiting for me when I am able to come back to them.
Today I want to introduce you to one that has evolved quite well into one of my faves. https://www.goblinscomic.com is a really cute comic based on the idea of the monsters in an RPG and their ability to become PCs. The humor is on target, and the art is fun. Rich characters that are fun to read.
First, you’re on top of the world (a-ah) And then that world just ended (a-ah) You think you’re driving down the highway (a-ah) But then you’re in the trenches (a-ah) Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it Been bruised over, over again So, you know what? Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored When I try them on, I end up insecure Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?) Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor Screw feelings, screw feelings Scared of the day it hits me (a-ah) A baseball bat to my heart (a-ah) Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it Been bruised over, over again So, you know what? Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more (any more) One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored (then I’m bored) When I try them on, I end up insecure Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?) Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor Screw feelings, screw feelings Screw feelings (yeah) Screw feelings (yeah) Screw feelings (yeah) You know what? Screw feelings (yeah) Screw feelings (yeah) Screw feelings (yeah) You know what? A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah) A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah) You know what? I feel like this song A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah) A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah) Yeah!
My 2 Cents- The Last few months have just been hard. This song’s message is easily heard and it is a fun video. We have to feel things, it is in the human condition, but that does not mean we have to like what we are feeling. Today, Screw feelings.
Today both Serena and I had a take on the prompt for the #MonsterSheWroteChallenge2021 over on https://braveandrecklessblog.com I just saw the challenge last night so I got a late start on it, but I look forward to doing the challenge. I will likely post a few more here as the month goes on.
