When Caroline Walter of Freiburg, Germany died at the age of 16, her sister, ,Selma, had a sculptor cast a life size sculpture for the gravestone – Every morning since Caroline’s funeral, a fresh flower was found tucked in the crook of the arm, and still is to this day – Nobody knows who leaves it – Every single morning! – Caroline died in 1867 – For 146 years, someone has been leaving flowers…
Caroline totes had a vampire lover.
This is by far, my favorite theory.
Did tumblr just come up with a better version of twilight
Finished piece for tomorrow at the Red Bull House of Art in Detroit. This had to be super rushed last minute, so I’m very happy it came out the way it did. This is my first finished oil painting since college!
Sometimes I see young artists or art students get discouraged when they see hyper-rendered animatics passed around in special features on movies, feeling that this is the baseline of craftsmanship that will be expected of them if they want to find a job.
I just want to put it out there that most storyboards are meant to be drawn and thrown out and redrawn and thrown out, and do not look like that.

I am not in wheel chair but I get a bad feel when I see a character in one being written as an innocent pure kind hearted angel who can do no wrong, like they are not given permission to be human like those who aren’t, by human I mean neither white or black but a mix, it’s a very common troupe in japanese media, do you have any opinion?
The depiction of disabled people either being innocent untouchable angels or evil villains is dehumanizing and objectifying.
One example is that I was speaking to a guy who said something offensive and when I pointed that out he got very angry, telling me that I had to be nice because people in wheelchairs were always nice. When I asked him where he got that assumption from he admitted that it was from TV and movies.
He was acting out a trope in which I either had to be nice and be one of those good people in wheelchairs or I was not allowed to exist because one of those bad people in wheelchairs always gets murdered by the hero.

i have now died. of joy.
I don’t think I’ve seen art of an old mermaid (mermatron? mergranny?) before.
I love it!
Oh look it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen
This is really amazing but I have to say, I read “mermatron” not as “mer-matron,” but as “merma-tron“ and I was just like MERMATRON. AUTOWHALES. SWIM OUT. and I’m ruined my brain is ruined I’m so sorry
“We meet again, Mermatron.”
“For the last time, Octopus Prime!”
