Wowzers!
So as of right now I’ve just downloaded a trial version of Sketchbook 6 and I feel giddier than a schoolboy at the moment after trying it out. :D
Brazil, They were dancing and singing and giving flowers to other ppl while walking the street.
Things are going crazy here in são paulo. People gathered in pacif manifestations against the high prices of the bus passes (actually, it’s not just the price of bus passes, it’s the constant humiliation that we have to bear - High taxes that are never worth it and so). They were dancing and singing and giving flowers to other ppl while walking the street. Then, the militar police came and the violence started. gas bombs everywhere. people were yelling “NO VIOLENCE” and giving flowers to police officers, but the violence just increased. It was like civil war, but only one side was attacking.

yet, they were called “vandals” by most of the midia
Beautiful people.
Bleach didn’t make it.
I took her out and held her today when I noticed how odd she was laying. She was cold, limp, and breathing heavy. I held her until she wanted to go back in the cage, so I put her back and watched her. She rested her head on Olive for a moment before she made her way to the other side of the cage, and died.
I adopted Bleach from my friend and her girlfriend, after they found her and her 3 sisters underweight and abandoned. It was up to them to find homes for the rats since the shelter refused to take albinos.
I had Bleach for about half a year, and she had been sick before. She wasn’t bouncing back from this last thing though. She was diagnosed with pneumonia but none of the medicine we tried was helping, and she never regained a healthy appetite. The vet says it’s possible they gave me the wrong concentration of her last medicine, so Bleach may have been under-dosed; either that or this was cancer, or some sort of condition she was born with. New medicine is on the way, but she didn’t make it long enough for us to find out.
RIP litte Bleachy.
GUYS, PLEASE, SHARE THIS!
As you may know, we’re having some difficult times here in Brazil. What started as a protest against the abusive prices of the public transportation system became a fight for rights.
We’re fighting against our corrupt government, our lack of rights, fighting against something that seems like some sort of twisted dictatorship.
And the media is not helping. By distorting images, the biggest channel here is making the protestors look like the evil guys. But these pictures show that they’re nothing like that. Peaceful people being shot, beaten, arrested, dragged out of hospitals.
THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS! THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!
We’re done being put down, we’re done being abused! WE ARE THE FUTURE, WE ARE REVOLUTION!

“
Stretching her arms out in a manner reminiscent of one sitting before a piano and limbering up for a concerto, she added, “You can at least rest assured that I’ll pump you full of enough silver bullets to make sure your slithering corpse doesn’t hurt anyone ever again.”
“Damn, you’re good at this whole reassurance-thing. Ever think of volunteering at a suicide hotline?”

…I never said my characters were role models.
What a coincidence this question showed up in my ask box! I had just been discussing this with a few friends of mine the other day.
In his book Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon makes a pretty compelling case for being boring. Stay inside and get your work done! I totally recommend this book to everyone—it is full of wonderful ideas…that I have stolen.
Keep in mind that the above advice is my ideal—it’s what I’m striving for, not necessarily what I’m always achieving. But it is always there to remind me of what my goal is, how I really want to be spending my time.
As a matter of personal preference, I like to take “me time” when I am not infringing upon any of my other priority relationships. This usually means me time is when the rest of my family is asleep. I think that’s pretty common behavior for most artists. I try not to stay up late, but rather to get up early to do art projects. It’s super hard to do, but it feels great to start my day with a burst of creative energy (rather than end my day with that burst, and then not be able to fall asleep at 3 am because I’m so pumped about a comic I’m doing.)
Hope some of these thoughts help. Like Mr. Kleon states in his book, most of this advice is autobiographical. I’m learning too. Happy schedule-making to everyone!
(PS, you should know that answering tumblr questions is a planned part of my schedule, and I will eventually get to all of you. My ask box is pretty backed up at the moment, but I have your messages and you have my apologies!)
sorry if i’m off the mark here but i’m tired of both people who act really immature about not liking school and people who see those people and act really pretentious and awful because they think they have some sort of godly wisdom in saying “suck it up you spineless baby” when really things shouldn’t have to be this way they really shouldn’t
(also in case anyone mentions it: i’m a low-average high school student who generally gets by on really high test scores and has been thinking about ways the school system could improve mostly by watching their friends and observing their problems)
helllooooooooooooooooo intelligent post
