#goblinweek day TWO
Another nasty trash goblin

I'm on the directory! (both here and on @sajan )
I've put #poc and #decolonize, because I think it'd be cool to find more POC artists. I don't know how appropriate the latter is - but it's the most succinct tag I could think of that describes my interest in the representation of non-eurocentric arts in general.

heard it's goblin week, my contributions are going to be TRASH

Today's illustrated Haiku! Did this one last night quite quickly, after labouring for ages on one that I'm probably never gonna put up.

finally, a larger sectin showing my handwriting in general. As you see, it can be legible, but my main problem is that I have zero consistency - which is unfortunately something that I carry over to my neater capitalised print writing (eg: I sometimes write an E straight, sometimes more like a backwards 3.)
Either way, I think the variation in the loops/lack of loops (of the y's, g's etc.) looks pretty fun here

if you're wondering if I never cross my t's, sometimes I cross the HELL outta them.

What I'm really wondering is if I can use this in my art somehow. I like how this word ('rather') is on the line very well, but form-wise is kind of mountain shaped. I like that line that connects the a and h, with the t proppped up between them. Also enjoying that the comma is at a near-perfect 90º.

This was the word ('was') that prompted me to take photos. I really like how it looks out of context.

I've got a bit of a complex about my handwriting. I can draw well, I can emulate nice writing well, but my natural handwriting is very bad and I got a lot of crap for it at school. I normally write in capitalised print, so I don't even see my own cursive handwriting much - but I just now I had to jot down some thoughts and (considering my ever-increasing interest in scripts) managed for the first time to find some beauty in the shittiness of my handwriting.

scratch that. I found it. I was poking around behind the radiator with a long paintbrushed, and suddenly noticed the pen on the end corner of my bed. Out of excitement I dropped the paintbrush behind the radiator, which I feel like is a fire hazard, so I got another long paintbrush to fish it out and ended up dropping that too. I ended up venturing into the Warm Dust Zone with my bare hand, but all is well now.

ERGH. I think i've lost/misplaced my bamboo pen. It should be in my room but i have no idea where it is. Luckily i think my friend isn't using his at the moment, so I won't have to get a new one (replacements are kinda pricey)
Maybe i'll do some art with my trackpad for a while
