Cecilia ‘Lola’

To anyone struggling to make their art:

THEY WANT YOU TO STOP WRITING/PAINTING/MAKING.

They fear our rich inner lives, beyond even their reach. They fear our revolutionary fantasies, our ungovernable and unprofitable thoughts.

Yes, the obstacles are greater than ever.

So is the need.

Somebody's eccentric,slightly witchy aunt here

Enjoy it! Let yourself scribble &tape &paste& doodle& tear&paint! Go over lines or not! Make a soul in paper mache! Make mistakes! Its ALL YOUR’S! Experiment! Be yourself! Rule the materials! You are fearless! You are the art! Masterpieces all of you!

Thanks!

May sound like bs or lame but it’s more about me finding the nerve to post stuff without deleting it later. Trying to be less stereotypical tearing up work kinda person.

I’ve been looking for a prompt page for so long so double thank you!

Micropoetry! I’ve needed this term for so long, thank you!

Also beautiful work

So I did the @vss365hq.bsky.social for the first time but didn’t post it & I’m tempted to post it now but is a 2 day delay acceptable or super cheeky? #vss365 #writing

You are fantastic. You are a lost art rediscovered. You are a grimoire pizza written in bell peppers. You are a cosmic maple moth silhouetted against the moon. You are a haunted doll with a thousand teeth conducting a spider orchestra in the attic.

There’s no such thing as A.I “art.” It’s a soulless amalgamation of plagiarised data. That is the antithesis of art.

You have my sincerest apologies

I’m convinced my writing is bad 99% of the time until I think of it or read it again & then it is a solid 100%

People don’t look through cut out eye holes in paintings like they used to.

When the Fox hears the Rabbit scream he comes a-runnin', but not to help - Thomas Harris

Not unlike today’s masses who think kindness & empathy are weakness

Let us be kind & empathic regardless

If There's A Way Out I'll Take It I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without re-opening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me. - Lora Mathis

God, yes. Thank you Lora Mathis.

This! I’m there with you. I’m glad we haven’t chosen that for various reasons including finding out I’m not alone & there being stuff worth staying around for but those bad days… they’re beyond words. You deserve kudos for still being here.

Yes I have a #BaHonours in #fineart but I still can’t colour inside the lines. A problem made worse since #chronicpain by medication-caused shaky hands but thankfully I’m used to the struggle

110% it gets in the way of possibly every aspect of life in ways I’d never imagined before it happened; as wheelchairs offer no help too. The usual reply of those I’ve spoken to is ‘I don’t know how you cope’ which I don’t know either 🤷‍♀️

I use it with the medical folks when I get to see them too. The last one told me he always gets the ‘funny’ patients but I don’t think he meant it as haha funny but as weird behaving/chat lol

F*** I’m so sorry you know what it is like. I find comfort in my cats too. I think like dogs they can sense our mood or lack of wellness and sometimes act accordingly, plus they’re good company and have better bedside manner than a lot of doctors. (I partially use jokes to cope, albeit bad ones)
