this less of a specific artist & more of a tragically unheard of digital watercolor program called Expresii (expresii.com)

it was originally developed for calligraphy, over the years it's been exanded to be just the BEST digital watercolor app/program there currently is on the market

cons are: it's Windows only, and it because it was made in Japanese first, the translated English menu might be confusing

the pros? endless!! AND IT'S GOSH DARN BEAUTIFUL!!!

me, back in the early 00's: yes! I know who Sakura is, she's from Naruto and...

me, now: oMFG WHICH SAKURA?!?! THERE'S 80 OF THEM

I usually browse fanfic by tags, so I often come across fics that look like good reads, but I can't remember for the life of me who's who because it's such a rarepair

...and that's why I have several fandom's wiki character pages favorited on my browser, even though I'm familiar/caught up with all of them

[serious thinking face] wait...so...

Spencer from iCarly is a goofy guy who attended law school (1 day) and then dropped out to make art

Pheonix from Ace Attorney is a goofy guy who attended art school (I've played 1 AA game idk how long) to become a lawyer

...am I onto something here?

starting off with Heikala on insta https://www.instagram.com/heikala/

I love her work because most of her paintings have process videos (hint: you can watch these and learn more about the layering technique watercolor is famous for!) with the most AMAZING piano compositions 💓 (the pianist is always credited on her posts, Ryancampus.com )

her slice-of-fantasy illustrations make me swoon with feels

July has been World Watercolor month and I feel like I haven't done a great job at exposing the medium to more people online

so I'm gonna start a thread here with some of my favorite watercolor artists (that aren't me)

we had our first big heat wave this weekend, and it was such a pain trying to sleep without an AC, but, then I remembered, this is part of OPM's training!!! I will become Stronger

(stretching) done with another week of work

lol work is having a potluck today

gonna run the other way and eat my shit in peace

(wi-fi multiplayer wasn't built-in the game until tri, and it wasn't *really* the ironed out until the last couple of games. So to play not alone, you first had to download an obscure app from the ps3 market, figure out how to connect your psp to it, AND PRAY someone was awake and interested in helping out with your baby-quests)

tl;dr be thankful wifi is built in and that SOS mode exists because it sure as hell didn't before

I don't think I'll ever be able to know the EXACT date and time, but it was in summer '09, 10 years ago, I walked to the mall (summer P.E.), saw the Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (the tagline was "never hunt alone" LMFO) and bought it on the spot out of curiosity

I really didn't like s2 of aggretsuko

so I go to the tag on tumblr to see if there's any new fanart

and it's EXACTLY the same shit as before, but now the fandom seems "split" between Retsuko staying with Tadano, or Tadano & Haida getting together and like...

y'all are incapable of learning aNYTHING from this show??? Let Retsuko be single, it's canon!!

(also why do the fandom take a show about WOMEN!!!!!!!! and INSTANTLY obsess over the only men characters??)

window shopping is still called window shopping when it's online because you can have different browser windows open.... 💥 🧠

also started making my own cover art for my spotify astrology mixes, and now I'm tempted to make covers for like all 50~ mixes/playlists I've made on spotify OTL

really on an Art-Groove lately, I'm just makin' stuff left and right, up and down, watercolor and digital
