Two unrelated things:
First:
This morning I got bit on the eye by an ant. And that was concerning, but more baffling was the fact that the ant managed to crawl all the way up to my eye before attacking. That’s, like, so much work for I-don’t-even-know-what-the-payoff-is.
I can’t decide whether to be offended or impressed.
Second:
This is for all of the people who bought my coloring book but didn’t color it because even though coloring is supposed to help stress it’s actually super stressful for people who are afraid to making mistakes and I’m the same way which is why I normally just draw the pictures rather than color them because what if I spend an hour coloring something and then pick the wrong color and fuck it all up AND NOW I CAN’T EVEN FUCKING COLOR RIGHT.
But then people told me about this Recolor app where you can photograph your drawings and color them with your finger tips until you find the color combinations you like AND IT IS AWESOME. And I’ve been taking pictures of my drawing from You Are Here and testing different colors before actually coloring them and it makes me really happy and (yes) also incredibly anal.
So today I’m sharing a drawing I finished last night and you can download it and color it if you want. I did my own with lots of experimenting and several filters and it was ridiculously entertaining. These took about 10 minutes to color:
Here’s my original black and white one if you want to do one yourself:
Have fun, y’all.
PS. Someone stop me:
PPS. I have bad handwriting so here’s what my drawings say in case you can’t read them. “EVEN THE MOST FRAGILE THINGS FIND IMMORTALITY IN MEMORY.” “HER GIFT WAS LEAVING SPACE FOR OTHERS.” “WHEN THINGS GET BAD, JUST REMEMBER…YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THIS BULLSHIT. YOU ARE PORTABLE.”
PPPS. Spellcheck is telling me that I definitely can’t mean that I was bit in the eye by an ant and I get that it’s weird but the suggestion they’re giving me is weirder:
