Instagram: almostoutofink

Hi guys

My Sharpies have been sitting in my drawer untouched for over a year, and now that it's summer and I can take a break from drowning in architecture work, I thought I'd get back to it all.

However, it's time to transfer platforms.
I'll be transferring all my art to instagram, and I'll continue to update it and also share some arch stuff with you all.

Before I do that though I want to thank all of you for all the support you gave me when I started this blog back when I was 16. It was a rough time in my life and I took to Sharpies in my spare time to try to take the negativity in my head and turn it into something beautiful. Every comment, every little bit of support helped me so much, and I'm so happy to say that I'm much better now then I was back then.

Anyway, hope to see you on instagram.

(I was a little torn about calling my insta almostoutofink or peaceloveandsharpies, so if you have any input that would be great)

Thanks again,
Zehra

Do I Wanna Know?

 

such a good album man

...and I'll burn forever. I can't face the shame.

 

 

This and the previous post are both part of the "art I never show anyone" collection.

I just posted them together because they're connected.

And the titles are both from the same song....so yeah

Updates

Heyy

I'm sorry my posts have gotten so sporadic.
Majoring in architecture has sucked literally every ounce of free time out of my life.

Also, for the first time in my life, art is killing me. My expressionist style is my worst enemy right now. Architecture drawings require an intense level of precision...to the point where my professor made me redo an entire plan because one wall was half a millimeter off.

Now, compare that to my Sharpie blobs.

So, needless to say, I'm swamped (and dying).
But I'll try to post a little more often.
I really miss you all and your lovely comments.

Here's something from a while back.

 

Prisinor of My Own Mind

I'VE ARRIVED AT PANIC STATION

MUSE SHOES
MUSE SHOES
MUSE SHOES

I made these about a month ago but was going to wait till The 2nd Law came out to post them.
But since the album leaked...so can my shoes, right?

(of all things I've made, these are what I'm most proud of ohmydeargodyes)

I'm Feeling This

I wasn't going to post these.
Cause there's a crappy story behind them.
But I was looking at them today...and thought...they're too good for me to just hide them from the interwebs and forget I ever made them.

So here you go.
Pop-punk Converse.
Which deserve better feet.

I hope to God he trips when he wears them.

I'M LEGIT NOW!

Ohmygod.
Wow.

I'm going to attempt to write this without sounding overly fangirly.

SHARPIE ASKED ME TO BE PART OF THEIR 2012 SHARPIE SQUAD!
*dead*

They wrote about me here:

AND OHMAHGOOTNESS LOOK AT WHAT THEY SENT ME!

WHAT IS AIR?!

No, seriously. I'm going ballistic.

And, to update, my laptop is still dead, unfortunately. :(
Don't be sad though...there's a new Muse single out in 9 days!
And then the album comes out in October
*dead again*

...and I poofed again

It's not my fault this time!
My laptop died. It's slightly tragic.
So I've been on a hiatus from all my blogs, and unfortunately will continue to be MIA until it's fixed.
And I have no art to share with you because they're all saved on that laptop, and iPads are ridonk and don't have SD card slots.

...geez, my definition of "hiatus" is beginning to look more and more like Fall Out Boy's...

Shadow Of A Flower

Sorry for the hiatus. :(
I'm back now.
And have a huge bunch of new stuffs. :D

 Hope you're all doing well. <3

The Smile Had Finally Faded From the Apple of Their Eye

The title of this post sorta relates to the painting, but also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDON URIE! <3

This is one of my pieces for the breadth section. :)

One last thing. For some reason, my computer blocks all your comment forms, so I can't ever leave a comment on your blogs anymore. Hopefully, this will fix itself. I miss you all. <3

Some Input, Please?

You know what sucks?
When you're so stressed out that you can't even do art. :(

Instead of ranting, how about I ask for your opinions on something else?
For those of you that have taken AP Art, you'll know that there's a concentration section, where you have 12 works centered around a specific theme.

I decided to make the theme overcoming depression.
The art is going to start from dark, suicidal themes and then transitions into finding happiness.
Your help? I need more ideas, particularly of the happy paintings.
It's so hard to think of things without being cliched.

Oh, and my teacher suggested having a flower in each work to symbolize emotions. For example, the drawing I'm working on now is a hand of a girl that killed herself. She is holding a dead rose. (Also, it's literally one of the worst things I've drawn. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.)
Anyhoo, as the paintings get happier, the flowers will be more and more vibrant.
I need ideas of actual things to paint, though.

You guys' help would really be appreciated.


Here, have a painting! :D

ALSOALSO, before I forget, I'm also on Tumblr.
Come say hi! :D

*shower of love*

Guitar-- Updated :)

First of all, thanks for all your sweet comments on the last post. :)

A few weeks back, I showed you the incomplete version of the drawing from this post . Some of you asked to see the finished piece. So here you go. :)

 

Again, I apologize for the lack of updates. I have a lot to show you guys...there's just so much stress that I haven't been able to get around to it. 

What happened to senior year being chill? :(
