Hello There. Ive Been Meaning To Write This Here And Im Finally Doing That Now.

Hello there. I’ve been meaning to write this here and I’m finally doing that now.

If anyone has been wondering what has happened with my art during the family reunion, I’m letting you know now. I had an awesome time and I was able to show some of them off while I was there too. I didn’t sell any of my art while I was there, but I while I was showing them off, a few people were interested in buying some of them. I remember some of them asking what the prices are for some of them. I also heard a couple of them said they were interested in buying my watercolor painting of a monarch butterfly. 

So from what’s happened, it’s likely if I’m going to sell any of my art to my family members, it’s likely they’re gonna have to contact me by phone, email or a Facebook message. Not that I’m complaining. I’m just happy I was able to let them see my work. 

I found out my cousins are planning another family reunion for next summer around the same day. If it becomes official, I’m still hoping I can definitely sell art during next year’s family reunion. It’s most likely I will but I’m hoping some of my relatives will leave with my art too.

So I decided to draw Kyo & Ava cosplaying as Dipper & Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls. I”ll admit I’m starting to become a fan of this show. I’ll also admit this drawing could’ve come out better. I’m not too happy with it but I got it completed. 

This was a long-awaited point commission for Phoung-Linh on deviantart. She wanted a drawing of her Transformers OC, Sapphirius, and have it colored the same way as my marker drawing of Optimus Prime. 

Here a way to start off the month. It’s a WIP of my oc, Ava, cosplaying as the original version of Wanda Maximoff (a.k.a. Scarlet Witch). Obviously, this will be completed digitally. 

I finally finished this drawing that I've been working on for some time. I didn't want them in superhero poses like I usually would draw them. I thought it'd be a little funny if they were cosplaying them as if they were at a comic/anime convention. All three of them can be seen separately and as sketches in my archive.

Like I said in my earlier sketches, the superhero designs are based off of the ones in the New 52 DC Comics. This idea was in my head for over a year but I got the motivation to start this after watching the trailers for Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (both the teaser and the recent trailer).

Patriarchy is when a male (usually the father) has complete power and authority over everything and that includes the women and children. The power and authority is only given to males and is passed down to only males while women are completely excluded and is not allowed to hold any power or authority.

Misogyny is the hatred for women and girls. Examples of that are sexism, victim blaming, discrimination and violence against females and double standards between men and women.

Examples of double standards:

- male nipples = ok; female nipples = not ok, indecent, disgusting (especially when it comes to breastfeeding in public)

- the amount of sexual partners one has had in their lifetime: men = studs; women = slut, whore, etc.

- women who are assertive are bitches while men are praised for being assertive

-if a woman chooses not to have children, she’s considered selfish or someone will either try to change her mind or assume she’ll change her mind while having children is usually not discussed with men

- overweight women are shamed, bullied and are more pressured to lose weight than overweight men
