i live with my mother and she has never outgrown the "my daughter is a precious miracle child and everything she makes is magical" mindset, which is lovely and affirming, but the problem is she hangs my artwork up on the walls exclusively so no matter where i go in our house (except my room, which is bare) i find myself entrapped in an endless nightmarish echo chamber of my own work staring at me from all directions

realtalk i already have my apocalypse all planned out. first step will be to get a few big scary dogs and a herd of goats. the goats will pull a wagon which i will sit upon, playing my accordion and singing the songs of leonard cohen so that they won't be lost to the mists of time. i expect to get about a mile before we're all killed and eaten by nuclear mutants and/or perfectly nice normal people who are just sick of my poo poo

picture the road, but as the dying dad and his son are enjoying a can of ice cold coca cola (tm) a caravan covered in brightly coloured dicks comes bouncing over the hill "THROW ANOTHER TURTLE ON THE FIRE, GUYS LIKE ME ARE MAD FOR TURTLE MEAT! JAZZ POLIIIIIIIIIIICE"

i literally never draw fanart, but a few years ago the scp foundation briefly caught my imagination and i drew some pictures of 096 which became weirdly popular and got thousands of views despite being super low-effort and then people started messaging me asking me to draw them loving it and i was so dismayed that i abandoned that deviantart account and never logged into it again. fanart is never worth it

weed helps me with visual art because i find it hard to put myself into the space where i can just work uninterrupted for hours at a time, especially now that i have chronic pain problems that i didn't have when i was younger (back when i was able to put in twelve-hour stretches without weed). for some reason i can still focus on writing, but i top out at 1-2 hours before the pain distracts me, while with weed i can manage 4 or 5, which is obviously a pretty big productivity difference. but on the other hand, when i smoke a cone it's a 50/50 chance whether i'll fly into a creative whirlwind or spend the whole afternoon watching my quail and planning my career as a cohen impersonator on a full-time tour of the nursing home circuit (a lucrative and mostly untapped market)

mine is an interesting case because i didn't start smoking until i was in my mid-twenties, and this is my first long stretch without it. it was also never a self-medication thing, i had my psychiatric problems under control when i began and i only went chronic because it does incredibly interesting things to my art that i didn't know i was capable of before i started using it - whereas i was a confident writer before, but never confident in my art. trying to unlock that side of me without the weed is the challenge, especially now my immune system is attempting a hostile takeover of my body and trying to turn me into the thing from the thing. (ok it's not that bad, i'm just kind of sore all the time and it's annoying)

right now i'm working on a few things but this is the strangest trying to get a native australian forest growing in colourful plastic waste receptacles, i have seventeen species so far and hope to end up with three hundred or so, and then if i can make enough noise about innovation and sustainability and engagement with the byproducts of our throwaway culture, maybe somebody will pay me to arrange them in public to be contemplated by the people for 2-3 weeks

my book is all about aftercare, the sex is over and done with by the time the story starts and they're stuck in the interminable part of the relationship where one partner is insane and the other one is trying to stop them from killing themselves, but then due to inadequate amounts of aftercare the insane one dies anyway and turns into an undead deep-sea jesus that kills people with xenosonic frequencies, as is inevitable in this age of sham marriages
