As a society valuing convenience over experience is why everything sucks today. Blockbuster was an EXPERIENCE. the movie theater was an EXPERIENCE. Music stores were an EXPERIENCE. Arcades were an EXPERIENCE. I don’t want to sit in my house forever!!!!! I don’t want everything streamed to my electronics!!!!! I want to sit in front of the big silver screen for 2 hours with a coke freeze and come out with my life changed!!!! I want to live and I don’t care the cost!!!!!!
Back by popular demand, Invertober, an invert-themed art prompt list, is back next month in October! 🐛
The goal of this list is to encourage everyone to create invertebrate art & learn more about these fascinating organisms.
Ultimately, the goal is to have fun! Don’t feel obligated to do the entire list. Go at your own pace, do as many or as few of these prompts as you would like, and work in any medium of your choosing!
I like art that depicts women not posing seductively or gracefully but simply existing as human beings.
