LILY’S HUGEASS I-USED-TO-BE-AN-ART-STUDENT-BUT-NOW-I’M-NOT GIVEAWAY

yoooooooo so here’s the deal. Once upon a time, I got a master’s degree in fine art. But a bunch of shit has happened since then… namely me becoming permanently disabled……. and because of that, I’m not really able to make art the way I could when I was a student. (I mostly work digitally now; it’s just easier on me.) Anyway, this means that I’ve had a shitton of fine art supplies just sitting around collecting dust! AND I want them the fuck out of my space already… so I am going to give them away! One winner will get everything listed below.

Pictured:

  • 3 new or nearly new watercolor sketchpads 
  • 2 new or nearly new oil/acrylic sketchpads 
  • apx. 25 partially used tubes of acrylic paint (almost all liquitex brand) in assorted colors
  • 1 partial bottle of liquitex gesso 
  • 3 partial bottles of liquitex acrylic mediums (one slow-dri and two gloss medium) 
  • 6 gesso brushes 
  • a shitton of oil/acrylic brushes (assortment of natural bristle, soft natural fiber, and synthetic) plus 1 canvas brush holder. they are used but I took pretty good care of them and they are decent quality. (also sorry for the shitty blurry pic) 
  • 1 palette/paint mixing knife (pictured with the brushes) 
  • 1 set of partially used color conte crayons 
  • 1 large tub of brush cleaner (I know it looks beat up but it’s actually barely used… sigh oil paint makes everything so dirty) 
  • assortment of willow charcoal
  • canvasmaking tools (2 pairs of scissors, staple gun and staples, paint scrapers and canvas pliers)

Not pictured:

  • 5 new or nearly new paperbound sketchbooks 
  • 2 new or nearly new wirebound sketchbooks 
  • apx. 12-15 small canvas boards (they’re kind of scuffed up but still very usable)
  • 3 small premade canvases 
  • 3 sets of small assembled stretcher strips (12 strips total) 
  • 4 unassembled small stretcher strips 
  • small amount of unprimed/unstretched canvas fabric
  • 1 small container of brush cleaner
  • assortment of graphite drawing pencils

Rules:

  • you do not need to follow me
  • likes count as one entry
  • reblogs count as one extra entry
  • winner will be chosen at random
  • I will pay for shipping to anywhere in the US
  • I will not pay for shipping outside the US (sorry about this but I just can’t afford it right now… however if you would be willing to pay your own shipping, you can still enter)
  • you must have your askbox open
  • you must be willing to share your address with me (hopefully that goes without saying but just in case!)
  • I would strongly prefer that these things go to someone who needs them, as in either a.) a current/future/recent art student, or b.) someone who otherwise has a strong interest in art but has trouble affording it. But since I have no way of verifying that, I’m not going to worry too much about who enters.

Even if you don’t want these yourself, I’d appreciate any reblogs you could spare so that more people can see it! The giveaway will end on May 1st, 2015, so good luck until then and thanks for reading!

wow look!!!

I wrote/sang lyrics to the Gravity Falls theme song since I just love this show forever so here’s a short cover! (Art used)

There’s something more to this
That we have missed
Things around here are suspicious
Who can we put our trust in?
What have they all been hiding?
Secrets that lie in shadow
How much do they all know?
A place so full of mystery
Is just a puzzle to be solved

Woah

WOAH

I was not prepared for how great this is

Hey guys, this is my first shot at an info-graphic, so it’s pretty simple. I’ll be doing more advanced ones as I go on.

Remember, this is only my way of tackling the writing process. It’s simplified and it won’t work for every writer. Figure out what works for you and toss the parts that don’t.
