Often, when someone new asks what I "do for a living" and I answer with "I'm a painter/illustrator" their first follow up question is "Do you make money?" as if they need to know that other people find my art valuable before they can form or offer their own opinion about my work. Find new language to engage w art, I beg you. No artist wants to talk about how hard and demeaning it is to convince others their time and effort is worth spending money on during end-stage capitalism.
@goaskforde Have you ever thought about faking your own death? Well you don’t have to, just get off the internet. It’s tight, man. 🌈
@goaskforde Here’s a closer look at the my drawing “Asteraceae” on the shirt
Visual aid description:
photograph shows a cropped detail shot of the front of a t shirt. In frame there is the rightmost side of a bird, wing outstretched. There is a white line that goes from the tip of the beak to the body. There is no tail. Under the right wing is my art signature.
I made these shirts! You can buy one at goaskforde.com/shop
I have XS through 4XL, but if you’d like a different size feel free to DM me or email me at goaskforde@protonmail.com and I will get a shirt that feels comfy for you!
Visual aid description: black bird from my piece “Asteraceae” printed on off-white coloured cotton t-shirt. I am wearing a fanny pack over my shoulder and have tattoos down my left arm. I am standing in front of a white building.
@goaskforde An example with bits of all of these subgenres I really dig is Goodnight Mommy (or Ich Seh, Ich Seh in German) from 2014
painter. illustrator. anti-state propagandist.
