Every time someone starts railing on mobile technology like it’s some amorphous sentient being with ill intentions, bent on sapping our consciousness away from us — I think about the attitude towards books when they were first widely available thanks to the printing press. People would talk, in fear, about how others were sitting motionless for hours, staring at these paper Satan-holders. Books were scary shit. Books !!
And now I hear people thinking about how much better real books are, like knowledge gleaned from books is somehow processed by the brain in a different and less organic way than sourced knowledge from the internet.
I love my books and I collect art books, but I think it’s kind of ridiculous when people rag on eBooks, social networking (because back in the day we wrote LETTERS to people), or digital painting for no other reason than that it’s digital.
ffs
digital painting.
I hate it when people tell me that digital art isn’t real art, because you know, you only employ the exact same basic techniques. If you get good at analog drawing, you’ll at least be able to hamfist your way through Photoshop painting with a little practice. And I can’t get any answer as to why a digital painting is less than a painting done on a canvas except for things like, it’s got more emotion or spirit or i’m a pseudo-hippie and i like to feel superior despite being bad at the thing you’re good at.
If you follow my tumblr, you’ll know that’s complete bullshit and that digital art can carry the same weight and emotion as non-digital art. You’re just using a different set of tools and painting with light instead of liquid/pigment/whatever. Yeah, you heard me: it’s painting with light. That’s pretty fucking cool.
boo. i love digital paintings
Here are some digital artists that blow organic snobs out of the water:

Smashing animals together to make other animals.
Mom and I also made ginger snaps from scratch today. We estimate the final count to be above 250 ginger snaps. It didn’t look like that much dough when we started . . .
so many cookies!

Oh my goodness I have been getting so many things in the mail!
My new tablet stylus arrived today! Thanks everybody who chipped in to buy it for me! =) I decided to try it out:
I doodled Sini. Or at least, something that looks vaguely like Sini. I’m still playing around with character designs and things, haha (I think I made her chest way too big).
Also, just to catch up:
I got my Club Nintendo platinum member prize! It’s a collector set of 8-bit Mario badges. They’re adorable.
And here’s my new art stylus, still in the box. I always feel so fancy whenever I get Wacom products; they really go all out on the presentation.

Doing digital art with a mouse because someone must’ve accidentally took my tablet stylus out of my bag…by accident.

A few people requested that I upload the thought paper I wrote for my Cultural Theory class.
It’s about Bronies. And it’s a class essay so it’s going to read like one.
