PRINTS! Part 1.

Please look at each image individually as parts of the art work have been cropped by tumblr to fit in this format. The titles and size of every piece are included in the caption. Thank you!

I can only upload 10 at a time, so here are the first eleven paintings/illustrations/photography prints modified with oil paint that I currently have available in print form. And now you can see that I actually do, in fact, know how to art. I know, it’s crazy, right? There are nine example images above, expect parts two, and maybe a part three soon! Tonight, most likely, unless I get sidetracked via painting more things to have printed. Or trying to figure out if primer will keep foam-core board from melting via spray paint. MOVING ON.

Small prints: $5.00 each, $1.00 to ship, small prints in this set include the third, fourth, and fifth examples (the fifth example is of two separate pieces that happened to fit on my scanner at the same time - success).

Medium prints: $10.00 each, $1.00 to ship, medium prints in this set include the second, seventh, eighth, and tenth image. Medium prints are usually a foot in length. Do not be fooled by the word medium, I should really be calling them slightly-less-big.

Large prints: $15.00 each because they’re HUGE (over a foot in length/height/whatever you want to call it, $1.00 to ship because I love you THAT MUCH. So much, guys, so much. Large prints include the first image, the sixth example, and the ninth example. Although the seventh and tenth could be considered large because they were printed after being matted and are equally huge to the point where the entirety of these images won’t fit in my scanner, the purchasing size will depend on whether or not you want the black matting frame around them or if you just want the image and I can cut off the excess negative space so you can fit it in a frame or tape it up to a wall however you choose.

These are all printed on high quality, glossy paper at a local print shop who for some reason didn’t cut any of the excess white space from scanning off anything so I had to do all that by myself BUT the place is really cool and I can get prints and I own scissors so let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth here.

To order: contact me through my ask box or my e-mail (chainsawmascara@hotmail.com), let me know in which prints you’re interested (be it by describing the print or simply typing in “I’d like [title].” Please specify if you’d like one or more copies of the print and if you’d like me to sign it on the front or the back of the image. Some orders may take up to a week to be mailed if I’m out of the print. I say this because some weeks I have a doctor appointment every. single. day. and I can’t get to the print shop because of it. However, this week I’m free as a bird so it’s prime ordering time, folks! I accept payment through paypal primarily, although I will accept concealed cash if that’s all you’re able to do. Money orders or personal checks are also acceptable. I now have a receipt book so you will receive a receipt with your print. All prints will be insured through the post and tracking numbers will be available upon request.

My paypal is the same as my e-mail, donations are also accepted. In fact, I do drawings for donations - as far as drawings for donations go, please mention in the comments of the paypal donation that you’re donating for a drawing, what you’d like to be drawn, and I’ll do what I can to satisfy you as a customer. Any donation under $5.00 will be scanned, unless you happen to live in New England (special envelopes, shipping, blehbleh). So send me your tumblr name so I can tag you and you can see the doodle I’ve made you! Any donations over $5.00 will get the original copy of the illustration, so send me your address! In fact, any orders for which you expect to receive a print or personalized illustration, SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS SO YOU ACTUALLY GET THE PRINT OR ILLUSTRATION. As far as DFD go, all donations - be they $1.00 or $20.00 will receive the same quality artwork. In fact, if your idea is cool enough for other people to like it, it may even be turned into a print itself! You can pick your OTP, two animals you want me to draw the nonexistent lovechild of (that’s a surprisingly popular suggestion), your favorite animal, your face, fandom related things, non fandom related things, inanimate objects of any kind, poses you think I should try to draw, pretty much anything that’s legal for me to draw. I thought I would mention that that’s a thing I do. I like to do it in parks and it’s amazing how kind people can be. I’ve never turned down a single idea so far, so if you have a good one or you want to challenge me, that’s the best way! I only ask that you accept the new $0.59 paypal charge, because I have nothing in my paypal right now and this is the only source of income I have as a young disabled person unable to work.

my chronic illness bill of rights

billierain:

I HAVE THE RIGHT…

  • to the full range of emotional responses to my experiences—from self-pity to gratitude and everything in between.
  • to seek out information and advice from any source i can find.
  • to follow or disregard any advice or recommendations i receive from strangers, friends and family, fellow sickos, books, or health practitioners.
  • to seek relief or a cure, or not, as i see fit.
  • to healthcare, including face-to-face visits with allopathic and alternative practitioners, prescriptions and supplements, assistive devices, fitness classes, and access to the information i need to make informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of whatever i pursue.
  • to any accommodations i need in order to have the option of participation in the public life of my community and the larger society.
  • to define my level of availability to others based on how i feel and my assessment of my needs.
  • to make plans and commitments with the understanding that i may be too sick to follow through on them.
  • to address conflicts and disagreements in ways that honor the delicate relationship between stress and my well-being.
  • to not be compared, favorably or unfavorably, with others who share any or all of my diagnoses.
  • not to have to answer the question, “how are you?”
  • to be appreciated for the contributions i make to my communities, even just by my presence.
  • to be valued for who i am, not what i do.

Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have.

Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience.

One of the many reasons I love this show.

She was my favorite character. ^~^

fuckthedisabled:

humandoodad asked: 

Ugh. I had an hour + long argument with a guy about whether I was too smart to have a learning disability where he started to cry because he hated how I’d ‘accepted this label’ and knew I was ‘better than that’. I have no idea how to combat it without making unfair comparisons to more visible disabilities (“would you say this to a blind person for saying that they’re blind?), which feels wrong to me. All I’ve been able to do is tell them they’re offending me and refuse to argue anymore.

Answer: 

Do people just not realize how invalid that argument is?

That whole argument is based on the claim that disabled people don’t deserve to be treated as human beings; therefore anyone who identifies as disabled is giving up their ‘human’ status.

If someone is ‘accepting the label’ of disabled and you think this gives you permission to treat them like less of a person; then you’re ‘accepting the label’ of douchebag and giving everyone else permission to remove their shoes and shove them in your mouth to prevent you from spreading your offensive and fallacious world views.

And still waiting on my doctor to find someone who does blood tests that can confirm whether or not I inherited a fatal condition from my mom.

A condition of which I already exhibit all the symptoms.

A condition wherein sufferers are lucky if they make it to two years old.

Worst. Luck. Ever.

An early death wouldn’t be that bad, honestly. If it was natural, anyway. The pain would stop. That’d be cool. It’d just be dark and quiet for eternity. I’d like that. I really would.

Awake & unafraid.: poptartslutzz: the fact is using the word gay as an insult is not...

poptartslutzz:

the fact is using the word gay as an insult is not okay

i don’t care how accepting and awesome and supportive you are and how many gay friends or family members you have because regardless of whether or not you support the gay rights movement you are giving more power to…

Yeah that’s me, clearly because I use gay in a context that has nothing to do with homosexuality, I’m a horrible person. Rah rah, look at me. Bullshit. It’s about who you are with, and when and where. Some people find racist jokes funny and it doesn’t make them racist. I won’t do it around you if it offends you but I won’t feel bad for how I speak when everyone that matters know where I stand when it comes to human rights.

i never said you were a “horrible person.” both my boyfriend and one of my best friends use the word gay as an insult, and i clearly still think they’re the best. but as i wrote, it doesn’t matter where you stand on human rights: you can support gay men and women and still promote hatred. because until we have equality, calling something or someone gay as an insult will always directly affect the movement. how do you think using that phrase became so popular? because someone just found the word in the dictionary one day and thought it was the perfect sound to make when saying something is stupid? no.it comes out of prejudice and discrimination. and it’s really not that difficult to stop using the word ‘gay’ in a derogatory way—it won’t bring down the quality of your life or make you lose friends. 

This is exactly how I feel about words like faggot, lame, and retarded.

LAME IS NOT A COOL WORD TO SAY, GUYS. It’s very hurtful to those of us who ARE lame and realize, “Oh, so they equate the physical problems that I have with awfulness to such a degree that my condition has become an insult. Well, that’s nice.” EXCEPT WE DO NOT SAY WELL THAT’S NICE WE CRY. Jerks.
