something i love about mr. henry fox is that he never hates himself for being gay.

he hates being closeted, he hates the weight of history bearing down on his shoulders and the pressure from the Crown, but he never hates that he is gay.

it's refreshing and i love him.

hi guys

I'm sorry to ask this again: ik some of you are aware that I haven't been doing ok in terms of my condition, and part of why that is is bc I can no longer afford to see my psychiatrist and afford regular therapy sessions.

in the philippines, insurance usually won't cover mental health services, and prices are regularly increasing everywhere. my bills are piling on top of each other; I don't make nearly enough to cover everything, but I really want to be well again 😞

I apologize as I can't take requests or take any more commissions as I still have the last 2 ongoing, so all I can ask for rn is donations 😞 any amount will do, even if it's just $1. if you can't donate, that's ok! just sharing or reblogging will be a big help.

sorry again, and thank you 😞

literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

I’m gonna add a few more:

  • Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site
  • Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns. 
  • Transparent Textures actually lets you combine colors and patterns to build your own texture right there in the browser.

Hey guys! I’m a sort of designer enthusiast/hobbyist and I do my fair share of freelancing, so overtime I’ve accumulated a list as well which I would love to share with you.

  • Freepik has anything from textures to layered psds, icons and so much more that is actually free to use.
  • Unsplash is a community of photographers which provides daily content that you can use! You don’t have to credit them but you should. They’re amazing.
  • Icons8 is basically a library of icons and icon sets, they have a little over 60,000 icons for you to choose from.
  • The Pattern Library is a very generous project of Julien Renvoye, he’s basically created a library of amazing seamless patterns/textures you can use.
