Dancing Season, Morgan Myers, Procreate, 2023
Based off of Short Mountain in Mount Jackson, Virginia.
“Glimmer”.
Heavily influenced by both a lucky snapshot while walking the dog, and “Euclid” by Sleep Token. Good God, what an beautiful, modern rock ballad.
Just finished the delightful book “Half a Soul” by Olivia Atwater, and I can confidently conclude…
I desperately need an Elias Wilder in my life.

Samsara
Trying to distract my way out of an anxiety pit via experimenting with more screen tones. Effectiveness tbd.
I don’t really know if it’s just current events or hormones —or maybe both—affecting my mood, but the passage of time has really effed up my head lately with this consistent dread of waiting for some grand-scale proverbial shoe to drop. I don’t know how, when or where, but this pandemic has always felt like the first in a long line of dominos tipping over to eventually lead to some big, grand finale.
The feeling is so perfectly vague and the world seems so chaotic rn that it could be literally anything, but all I can do is just lay in bed and hope that sleep will keep my brain from overheating with stress.
The inaction is definitely not helping either. Somehow I’ve developed some warped sense of “main character” syndrome thinking I have any sorta control over the environment around me, that somehow I should be coming up with some solution to solve these big problems. But I don’t. And I can’t. I hoped that realization would help lift the anxiety, but it doesn’t. Powerlessness seems to beget a hunger for power in my case, but my body has no energy to act on that hunger. So I’m only left to sit and stall with frustration.
I don’t want the world to end, I really don’t. I really hope that I’m wrong, and that sending my inner thoughts into the public eye will deter the universe from making it happen. Any and all amounts of ridicule and/or humiliation from this vent post is a far better alternative if it means my anxieties never become reality.
This little blue rock needs to stop turning so fast. Also, f@&$ PMDD.

“Davide Salvadei, also known as Eron, is an Italian contemporary artist born in Rimini in 1978. He is considered to be one of the most gifted and virtuous Italian painters of the 21st century. Eron uses spray-paining techniques and made his mark with his artwork ‘Forever and Ever’ in 2010, when he was invited paint a church ceiling.” [from the Urban Nation Museum website]
That’s “vent art” on a whole other level!
I’m so jazzed about these new KraftTone brushes from #truegrittexturesupply .It’s making my sketches look and feel so much cooler! Yes, it’s a little late for #OCtober content, but I’m really proud of this new character sketch.
“Amelia, it was only a false alarm.”
This year just keeps throwing one curveball after another, but this one hurts terribly. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to such a kind, loving person in the family. But, she’ll always be remembered as the great and wonderful “Grandma Myers”. (at Woodstock, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6_mQ-jtBU/?igshid=1xbtkv66gy894

“Engulfed”. . . . It’s not the most light-hearted subject matter, I know. But, this is the first project I’ve completed in months, despite having a handful of others in my head that haven’t inched beyond sketches and daydreams at this point for what feels like forever. I’ve simply lost the drive to put time into any of them. I suppose “burnout” could describe it. The overwhelming urge to move, act, and create being met with this immobilizing hesitancy, fear, and sadness. Not sure when I’ll get back to where I want to be, but the fact that I actually finished something is a good start. I bought a 5-pack of these canvases, and I’d like to paint on them all. That’ll be my next thing to finish, featuring a couple cheerier illustrations. . . . #mmyersart #art #painting #traditionalart #tradionalpainting #acrylicpainting #acrylic #burnout #blue #flames #sadness #ventartwork #canvas #paint #depression (at Woodstock, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAdidJj4Nh/?igshid=c2o5ojsqg5lm

So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS
This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures
Please sign it and reblog!
The attack on the US post office is multifaceted, but a driving force right now is to prevent mail in voting for the American presidential elections. That alone is vital for any US spoonie to pay attention, as we especially may need to vote by mail. I’ve already requested my mail in for 2020, and I encourage a lot of my fellow spoonies to do so to to stay safe from the corornavirus. Besides that, even without this immediate concern, the postal service is a lifeline for many disabled people. If mail goes completely to the private sector, we would be priced out of our ability to get necessary medical or necessities like medicines, equipment, and food.
