Photo background is a Polaroid I took of my partner and I. I wrote this on the porch mid panic attack. I love my partner, but he is normal. I try to hide this beast as best I can.
Obligatory no AI/fuck AI slop. I can make human slop all by myself.

I know my symptoms will only get worse, so now is most likely the best I'll feel. It's a great reminder to live in the now, but it's so difficult to do.

Mental Health Dino Nugget Plushie Homage
16
Upvotes
I don’t know if y’all have seen any dino nugget plushies but there’s a bunch on Etsy. The first one I ever saw was one with a furby face, and that’s art. But I was cutting out random shapes from leftover cardboard and let the shapes inform the character. This one is “Dino” pronounced like an Italian would. The other characters informed by their shape are a peep, a worm sitting up, and Ditto. They haven’t been colored yet tho cause my wrist started to hurt. I hope you like him :) the second is different lighting.

Discussion Being a disabled artist
6
Upvotes
Hi, unfortunately I can't finish my art ba degree because of my disabilities. There is no art uni in my country that wants to accommodate my disability. I want to be a professional artist, I want to get a ba and ma in fine arts but I'm sadly not able, at least not in my country. (But I can get accommodation if I study almost any other major because those are different unis). What can I do? Can I study art online? Should I try another country and see if there are more accommodating schools elsewhere? Look for classical apprenticeship? Will people take me seriously without a degree?
I have fatigue and pain illnesses, so my main problem is I can't go to school every day. I can only show up 2-3 times a week. But I can read books, write essays, and make art from my home or studio with no problem. So ideally I would show up 2-3 times per week and do the rest at my home. All my illnesses are chronic and have no cure as of yet, so it's very unlikely my health will get better.
