Does anyone here remember this design? “Scumgirl” is the very first sweater I designed for my project @_jammo_ in January of 2015! (This is an actual photo of the sweatshirt)

I’d love to do this sort of illustration/photo mix for each of my @_jammo_ designs🙆🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnnqCTAOVq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=140wssm21yerw

Someone stepped on it, too late to warn them tho, unfortunately.

My Friend Jeffrey :: My Friend Jeffrey (one shot/short story) | Tapas

Follows Otto and his imaginary friend, Jeffrey, in the struggle of accepting an imaginary friend well into adolescence.

Hi all,  I’ve gone ahead and (finally) uploaded last year’s one-shot comic “My Friend Jeffrey” to Tapastic (comics reader).  If I’m honest, I’m incredibly proud of myself for being able to pump out these 23 pages in basically a month and a half. The art surely isn’t my best, and there is notably more photograph splicing in this comic than in my more recent works I’ve yet to release. Though, despite my personal feelings of a lack in visual quality in this work, I don’t think I’ve felt so energized since drawing this one. With college continuing and my PBS (painful bladder syndrome) not having improved much at all, I feel lethargic and stagnant more and more, no matter how hard I work. My PBS truly does make exerting myself so difficult, but… let’s not go into my health status much currently. I try to not complain or make mentions of my health much lately because of the vast amount of criticism I’ve received from others about being “complaning,” “too much,” or “needy.”  nbsp; I share this comic in hopes of it bringing on some sort of ironic joy, though any reaction at all is more than I’d ask for. A bunch of you guys on Instagram and here are really awesome, so thanks for being there. Hope all is well.   - Luke 

Thought Forget-Me-Not #1:

I recently listened to Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes, and I read an interesting insight about it on Wikipedia. The article foremostly defines the song as "inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song". Reading this makes one wonder more about what makes Gabriel's prose so enigmatic.

When reviewing the following three verses, something clicked in my head with the "ambiguity" between the lines:

The grand façade, so soon will burn

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

Taking a look at the first and third lines, both are statements which can stand on their own with profoundness. Though, the second line at the middle seems to be adjectival/adverbial in purpose. What statement does it compliment though? The one above or the one below?

Considering the meaning behind the entire song, I found it to be both verses. Going back to the Wikipedia description I quoted, the gist of Gabriel's poetry can be illustrated as "ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God". The very first word of In Your Eyes is just "love". We can say he's altogether singing about love, the one-word concept, and not as if both types of love are seperate in definition. If Gabriel's song overall implies two meanings of love at the same time, it's thematically fitting that his words are both a blur, figuratively and literally, between the two loves.

Returning to the three verses above, the second verse can gramatically applied to both the first line and the third line. Combining the first and second would mean that the singer will burn his concealing outer-self, without regard to his entire ego and to any self-pitying struggle. Synthesizing the second and third lines instead, would convey that the singer's true self is reaching out to his lover, absent of distractions and selfishness. Both permutations of the three verses serve Gabriel's message, while emphasizing how the the mysticism of love influences his attempt to convey it.

It's certainly hard to discretely notice this at a first or second listen of In Your Eyes, but that also adds to the intentional experience of ambiguity Gabriel gives. His technique can be paralleled to an African musical technique, termed by John McCullough as "layering". The term McCollough defines is familiar to what I can see in Gabriel's method with those selected 3 lines:

"The polyphonic texture is difficult to wrap your head around, as the drums play their own rhythm while the guitar and bass, though sharing a funk music influence, are playing two completely different musical lines. This is evident of layering, as the instruments are placed on top of each other in order to make the entity of the song."

McCullough's conception of dual meaning in the music-piece can be paralleled with my own:

"When writing the song, Gabriel was interested in the idea of there being no difference in African love songs between the love of a woman and the love of God"

For me, writing this analysis down is how I solidify my appreciation for songwriting's capabilities. I appreciate how the three-verses I keep on mentioning can be read and thought about in more than one order, without conflict in chronology and logic of reading. This poetry is unrestrained by time, the conventional way of listening and reading from left to right, and first second to last second. It's why I love it.

I like being a long ways apart I drunk dance to the big sound No one remembers all the faces Nobody can hear our story

I know you are Try not to mess up this night We could stay here until I Lips on the ears No matter what you say It is not time to be done yet Deep in the eyes No matter what you see It is not time yet

Dreamed I was a long ways apart You told me something I can’t remember

I know you are Try not to mess up this night We could stay here until I Lips on the ears No matter what you say It is not time to be done yet Hurts on the hearts No matter what you feel It is not time to be done yet Let it begin Let it all begin Let it all begin again

Lyrics: Say Sue Me

With how much pain I’m in and how slow I have to draw because of it, I surely would draw worse than Yoshihiro Togashii at his lowest if I had a hefty deadlines. I remember reading in an interview with one of his assistants during Yuyu Hakusho: he walked in on Togashii in tears on the floor, heating pad on his back and pillow under his belly, but still drawing manga. Togashii-sensei’s back pain got so bad and he just kept drawing manga. That’s a real hero there. He made two of the best shonen manga of all time. I love HxH’s “bad” art work more than anyone because I can feel that pain when I’m reading it. I really understand that pain Togashii is in, if that makes sense. I hope he is ok now. I love that guy. Anyhow, I can’t give up drawing if I’m alive. If I’m alive, I’m drawing, please stop asking me to take a break :/ I have the mangaka fighting spirit at heart. I got that shit heavy and nothing - no matter what pain - can take that away. I can’t stop. I can’t explain why, but it’s almost automatic for me. Do you know what manga has done for my life? It is all I am at my core, I promise. I am nothing without my manga.
