i am taking my little sister to therapy tomorrow and i think tonight is the first night that i actually feel like i can handle it.  You know, fuck it there's so much bullshit out there in the world, but life's a tragicomedy anyways, and suffering is inevitable and therefore beautiful.  The world belongs to the hopeful and today I feel hopeful.  Even the fuck ups and cynics are sincere, i got every ounce of sympathy for them, i know where they're coming from.  Take it easy, and breathe my friends, everyone does what they gotta to and the world turns regardless. to infinity and beyond pat xu

recently dabbling in fan art for the first time, after avoiding it all my life. I think of it as a form of gratitude art, since it allows me to thank my favorite artists, incorporate their influences fully, respond to them, enter into dialogue with their work. I would like to introduce fan art as another legitimate line of investigation in my own art.

I'm starting this new deviant art to have a go-to place to catalogue the things i've made.  I am an undergrad at UC Berkeley, double majoring in practice of art and cognitive science. From now on, this shit's for real.  Let every piece I make from now be considered with the frame: survival art I'm sure this term has been around for a while, and is used in a variety of ways.  How I would like to use it is a little different. As i understand it, survival art is simply human activity.  It can be more narrowly the making of Artifacts, but broadly construed, survival art is any of the things humans do: 1) to survive, 2) while they are surviving
