My other big obsession right now is like… the little modular blindbox bjd and mjd dolls. We have touched on this before

With my depression flaring up the closer I get to dad’s memorial, I retreat more into my hyperfixations to self soothe

Thank u for patience, friends. I am having a very bad time

Spoiler I did not make art but I did swatch more ink which was oddly satisfying. It was neat to lay them out and compare them afterward

I swatched ink for myself last night and it used up all my energy but maybe now I can make art later

INK HYPERFIXATION THREAD

Augh I’m obsessed with wearingeul ink and it’s such a niche thing to be obsessed with that I feel super self conscious being abnormal about it around people

Art share time: I did a marker experiment and to trick myself into being okay with messing up I did a self portrait

1. Water-based ink pens (pencil erases so easily underneath these??)
2-3. Alcohol-based markers layered on top
4. Water-based markers and colored pencils added
Traditional pen drawing of a woman’s head and neck in profile, looking to the right. On sketchbook paper Lavender and gray marker shading added to previous portrait drawing Further rendered version of the portrait with pinks and oranges for skin and dark blue added in the hair Finished version of the portrait with colors adjusted for marker coloring and some colored pencil details. Simple red-purple background added

Me, texting my friend at 3am like damn I forgot to consider how access to education might affect literacy and how this might skew the balance of power in a post apocalyptic society—

Wait what about barbers and traveling scribes and doctors and clergy—

I used to think that I constructed stories by vibes only, kinda like exploring floor by floor an abandoned house at night with only a flashlight

And then I realized that I was exclusively choosing only certain kinds of residences constructed in the 1800s with at least two ghosts and a private yard

I contain myself but here are… a few… of my dolls I have cobbled together…

First one is the one that started the obsession. I swapped her faceplate and eyes and clothes

Two framed original art pieces. The one on the left shows two people holding hands. The one on the right shows the same two people fighting wolf-like creatures together.

One of my earliest and most favorite pinboards— the first time I tried something weird just cos it seemed fun

Knifecat pin @marladraw on insta (she has so many variants now)
Chat bubble pin @baggingaround on insta
Mixed media collage. Bottom left appears to be a smartphone chat message with one person typing and a pin that looks like a sent message saying “hold on I see a cat”. Upper right depicts a blood spattered (unharmed) black cat holding a knife in its mouth menacingly. Low light picture of the same pinboard from the previous picture. Phone screen on the lower left glows in the dark.

I am trying to get myself to share personal art and writing eventually but anxiety is making it hard and so I am trying to work my way up to it by sharing more pinboards cos I am less self conscious about them for some reason

I think it’s super important to do art for yourself. But also don’t deny those feelings you get when you share it and don’t get a response. It’s okay for it to disappoint you that no one else dug it but you. Keep making what you like.

I have like… 50 rolls of washi tape but… maybe I need… 53… aaaa
sleepimali.bsky.social Mali 💤 @ shop reopening soon 💛💛 @sleepimali.bsky.social · Mar 14
And finally... Washi!!! I love every single one of these but the three gold foil ones are my faves 🥰
Photo of an open page in my bullet journal where I've taped a sample of each of the washi tapes I've designed. Text: "Washi history of Mali as of March 2025" Photo of a washi tape featuring a bunch of white bunnies hard at work creating the different phases of the moon in a soft purple night sky, with flowy lines of gold foil running through the design Washi tape of a bunch of cute little plant-inspired guys on a dark background, with gold foil sparkles Washi tape featuring black cats in various poses on a turquoise background with a folky flower pattern and gold foil details. The tape is lined by a brown, red and white trim

Really interesting article, this part stuck out particularly well to me:
“For some reason, they are able to process any inversion of empirical reality, but are acutely sensitive to being laughed at. Calling them weird absolutely works, and telling them their sole artistic output looks like shit also works. Laughing at people who treat AI art as in any way legitimate works. Talking about AI’s environmental impact or its implications for the workforce will not work - they like that, it makes them feel dangerous. Instead of talking about taking money from artists, talk about how it makes them look cheap. If hurting and offending people is part of the point, then we can take that fun away from them by refusing to express hurt or offence, even if we feel it.”

After a million years I have created a bluesky

I’m so shy tho

So we will see how this goes
