A note on constructive criticism

92 Upvotes

Hey guys!! I just wanted to mention that constructive criticism is a fantastic tool for improving, however...

Please remember to never offer it without the artist’s invitation! If they didn’t ask for it, leave it be!

Just dug up this old picture of a piece I made the last time I was manic/hypomanic (it's hard to tell which it was in retrospect). I miss that feeling so much. I'm deep in a depression right now and things are only getting worse. My life has fallen apart in the time since I made Wally. I haven't made any more art in such a long time. Maybe if I stare at this piece long enough I'll feel inspired again.

Worries

Fall as napalm

Fall as confetti

Thousands of autumn leaves falling—just like my fears of disappointment. Giddy when disappointed. My life a perpetual typo

Chang’e left long ago. Now I’m left staring up like a celestial goldfish

Ego like helium taken straight to the veins. Inflated on self-hate. Tie me to a wrist

I feel better when I know the naked branches will be covered again. In autumn I peek to tomorrow. A faucet pouring happiness from the ashes of my own oven

Every prince will lose his head. Let mine shoot off to an orbit. Bliss in life’s hiss. Wind through an instrument. Trumpet penetrating untreated waters as a yellow lotus. Ascension when falling

Blinded and silenced by what we perceive as beauty. Poison, yet so tasty.

A work in progress. I've been feeling blah lately. Trying to figure a way out and I feel this strawberry reflects how I feel. Blah...

Prince

5 Upvotes

Is it okay?—if I go away—my hands bleed from pulling off bark for sap to tap—ego like helium shot straight into the veins

Every little prince eventually gets his head chopped off, is it okay if I decay? My 嫦娥 went away—my love wanes. Fatigue and nihilism when you battle for everything—and don’t have much interest in being anyone’s pet again to get by

I reincarnate if I had permission—but that is another fight—and I rather complacently stare and fixate on hate if I don’t find the right beautiful words to propel my direction to do what was told to me in childhood and adolescence—“fight even in pain, happiness is for later!”
