             Ok, so yesterday in art I was painting with this gel stuff you add watercolors/ paint in general to so it doesn’t absorb too much into the paper and you can drag things like combs through it to make cool designs. Since the project I was going to use this for has an overall dark color scheme, I decided to use black and paint over the lighter parts scraped away by the comb with a dark blue. I mixed the gel and watercolor and it was black in color. I painted on the paper and it was black in color. It dried slightly by the time I had covered the whole page and had tested different comb designs and it was black in color. I take it off the drying rack today and it was fucking brown with green where the paint had been mostly scraped off by the comb. Even the teacher had no idea what happened; our closest guess is that the black pigment in the watercolor reacted with the gel so today I retried on another sheet. Hopefully that one stays black!

    Your Result: The West

    Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you’re a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

    yep

    Your Result: The Midland

    “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

    huh

    Your Result: Boston (89%)

    You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don’t. Of course, that doesn’t mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

    cool

    Midland, 77%. I guess New Yorker doesn’t have a category.

    Midland 90%

    huh

    Your Result: The Inland North
     
    86%

    You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

    Your Result: Northern Central (91%)

    how this

    77%

    ehee yay

    also i was born in Charleston, SC wowow

    Your Result: The Midland 95%
    I’m from Nashville, TN so lol????? 

    Your Result: The Inland North

    93%

    You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

    I am indeed from Michigan, from the shores of Lake Huron, and until I moved to Oregon I said pop a lot. I still do but I’ve mostly switched to calling it soda. It’s neat how accurate this is.

    Your Result: The Midland

    88%

    Atlanta! :D

    96% West

    That’s kinda accurate

    I don’t live in California but Arizona, right next to it.

    But I agree, since this lady sounds the most normal when she was born in LA.

    Your Result: The Northeast (94%)

    Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

    I live in Arizona so?

    Your Result: The West (96%)

    95% Midland. The 63% Boston might explain why I’ve had multiple people ask me if I was from New York despite having been born and raised in Arizona and only visiting NY twice for barely a week each. On the up side at least I’ll be good on TV!

    Tags: shit no one cares aboutyes I did use the contraction y'allI honestly don't know when I started using y'allI never used it before taking Frenchbut seriously you guysyou are all awesome

    Follow You, Follow Me

    Holy crap you guys I have 34 followers help I’m so confused. Like, half of you came from no where and I have no idea why y’all are following me. Like, I’m not complaining, I’m just shocked; I reblog a crapload of Sherlock and other fandom shit with the occasional dissected body/science post and maybe if I sacrifice a virgin and the stars are aligned I’ll post some art, but I honestly don’t know what’s so interesting about my blog b/c it’s nothing special.

    TL;DR: Holy fuck you are all amazing I never thought I would even get over 10 followers I hope you all find, like, $50 on the ground tomorrow/today/whatever time it is where you live because you are all perfect and saints for following my weird-ass blog.

    marissalosesit: I’d like to take a moment to break from our regularly scheduled program on this blog for a public service announcement. I get a lot of questions about tattoos in real life and online. I think most people with lots of visible tattoos do. But, because I work as a graphic designer, I feel the need to explain to people looking to get their first what they should be looking for when they get one. This photo is a perfect example, so I thought I’d post here. Look at your artist’s line work.This is the easiest way to check their quality if you don’t know too much about art. Are their lines smooth and consistent?  Or bulky and awkward? The Octopus uses highlights, dark colors, and little bits of black to give the illusion of line that goes with the style. Look at it’s brain to see what I’m talking about. Alice’s lines are awkward and misplaced. Look at the two sides of her hair (inconsistent) or her pockets (looks like a middle schooler drew them.) Channel Paula Deene: we want butter. Look at how colors meet together. Are they buttery smooth? Choppy? Or do they just not mix? The Octopus has colors that blend together so awesomely they look 3D. Plus, the orange/blue contrast is awesome. Alice’s apron is a damn mess. There’s no shading and those hands are already blowing out. Style Does the artist have the style you’re looking for? Do you want something spooky or bright? Something girly or foreign? Or a combination? Check to make sure your artist’s style matches your own vision. Plan ahead!Of course this isn’t totally possible, but think about what else you could want on your body in the future. If you think you might ever be in the market for a back piece, don’t get something small in the middle of your spine. And remember: your relationship with tattoos will change, just like everything else. Alice’s placement it look like she’s coming out of the tattooed’s boobs. Plus, without more stuff on the chest, you have the awkward dynamic of having a skinny, verticle shape on a large, horizontal canvas. The Octopus’s placement next to everything else looks awesome, even in relationship to Alice. It takes the shape of her body into account in every way! Bonus tip: try to only let one artist work on a certain part of your body. That way the styles don’t clash. (Even if Alice had been done correctly, this would still look a little unplanned.) Don’t do a walk-in Show up in a shop with an idea and you only get what that artist is capible of doing on the spot, sometimes without references. Bring in a bunch of images and have a talk with the artist—then, plan to come in a few weeks later. You’ll get their best work and more time to ask them to tweek it to perfection. Is the shop clean and reputable? Another reason to not do a walk-in appointment. Take a look around the shop while you’re there. If anything about it makes you uncomfortable, it’s not the place for you. Also check out their ratings online. The artist doesn’t have a shop? Or they’re working out of their house? Run. Run fast. That’s the best way to get an infection.  ABOVE ALL: A GOOD TATTOO AIN’T CHEAP AND A CHEAP TATTOO AIN’T GOOD.
