i’ve barely written a thing past the abstract and i’m this close to pulling an all nighter just to finish the methodology section because i have had no time 😭 i wish i could just tell them that i barely have an idea right now which is why i WANT to travel for research, so that i can get better ideas

oh wait now i can complain about school now. writing this grant proposal under a severe time constraint is actually misery. i have one red bull left and a dream to get it done by thursday afternoon (not NIGHT. AFTERNOON. 4 PM)

Aaron Douglas's piece, "Defiance," as part of his Emperor Jones series. A black and white block print of a man in a uniform, standing with his legs slightly bent and aiming a gun towards the left. He stands above a layer of water with two fishes swimming in the opposite direction he faces, while foliage and large, bold black bolts surround his sides and above him, respectively.

Aaron Douglas's canvas painting, "Aspiration." Three figures are positioned on a pedestal and look towards the background, with the middle figure pointing towards a built metropolis above a mountain. A star is brightly lit in the middle right, illuminating the background and the figures. Each figure hold tools of the trade or sciences. In the shadowed foreground, hands cuffed with chains are held up to the audience's view.

my icon right now might or might not be temporary but it's of Aaron Douglas's "Defiance" print from the The Emperor Jones series, and my banner is of his canvas painting "Aspiration." He's one of my favorites stylistically!

welcome to my twisted mind (filled with art history brainworms)

here is my alt account for history of the arts and culture! my studies are specifically in Black/African American art and of the African Diaspora in the 20th Century. I like works that focus on the specific identity of Black Americana.
