anyone make anything recently?
@aeva 😭
@ghosttie something I've had a bit of success with recently that I've discovered on accident is to give myself really low bar art assignments. so like that sculpture I posted pictures of yesterday the assignment was "make a sphere with a aluminum foil core and get the clay surface to be as smooth as I can get it". the rest just Emerged and it was magic
@ghosttie so like, it's hard to Just Simply Make Something in these trying times, but Just Simply Make Something Beneath Your Abilities can be a good way to trick yourself into making something. Doesn't work when I'm exhausted, but them's the breaks.
@aeva @ghosttie cool! now I just gotta not be exhausted all the time...
@FloppySalmon @ghosttie not all the time, just simply pick an hour every week to not be completely capsized by exhaustion and challenge yourself to feats of herculean will power like "draw a boob smoking a cigarette"
@FloppySalmon @ghosttie and i know you're thinking "that's impossible!" or "what good is a boob smoking a cigarette!" but if you keep at it little by little you'll eventually surprise yourself by drawing a boob smoking two cigarettes and then you will experience true self actualization (until the high of creation wears off then you have to do it again)
@FloppySalmon @ghosttie i'm pretty sure this is how art therapy works
