Found this highly #aesthetic pixel art commission I did a couple years back for a virtual chat room of sorts? Still wondering how it all turned out. #pixelart #mastoart

one of those days when my brain tries to squeese out every tiny bit of dopamine out of my surroundings
and yet there is none left.
i should work.

one of our readers sent me a WIP of a Drugs & Wires tattoo and I'm screaming

hopefully i'll have permission to share it around when its done!

random poorly tagged stuff my old online friend used to send me over MSN in 2008, stuff my ex sent me in uni in 2010, my DIY mixes, discounted compilations i ripped to my PC and never listened to and my most recent bandcamp purchases all in one place. A beautiful mess.

Now I can dig into my MP3 library properly, the only thing I've managed to keep more or less intact for over 10 years. (it's a huge mess)

I knew i was missing something since reinstalling my OS and that something was Winamp
Thank god they still have it up for download:
https://www.winamp.com/

About time I updated my bandcamp collection... https://bandcamp.com/cryoclaire

GOING BACK TO ART THOUGH, maybe launching something like "design yourself/your character as someone in the world of D&W" might provide some interest - it's still relating to the worldbuilding, but then it's about the participants themselves and hey, everyone likes things about them 8) Guess I'll sleep on it and talk to io before taking any steps though.

I guess there's writing, but I feel like launching a fanfic contest has some questionable self indulgent quality to it, would feel super weird to judge also as creators we probably shouldn't be reading stuff that might affect our own work with the original. I know many creators don't read those for legal reasons which sounds like a good idea (TBH IF WE EVER GOT ONE ID PROBABLY READ IT AND JUST TELL PEOPLE I HAVENT :v) but yeah.

If anyone's curious, these are the winners of the first contest: https://www.drugsandwires.fail/fanart-contest-winners/#comments and they are all credited in the fanart gallery too. Still love every single piece we got. This time around I've got way more fun merch to give out for prospective winners but..would that be enough :'I It'd be cool to come with something anyone could participate it, but more involved than just a giveaway.

(looks like i accidentally a word. D&Ws turning 4!) Anyway, the real worry is that the first contest went FANTASTICALLY well and we got so much amazing art - but this time around we're not new anymore, i haven't made many new art buddies or had time to do trades/fanart myself, so I'm not sure we'd even get enough entries. It'd also be excluding the large part of our fandom that is technically inclined as opposed to art.

I was planning on making another D&W fanart contest like we did a few years back, since D&W's turning in March, but I don't think there's enough time left :/ Not unless I move the deadline to after our birthday. Maybe to Dan's birthday which would be in April?

Just reorganised my kitchen cupboard to avoid work and now I feel like the most cliche human in the world

At least it no longer feels like I'm being perpetually stabbed in the chest when I put certain tracks on. Thanks, the passing of time

Still listening to the music by people I had a falling out with a few years back. Some of us just like to suffer

List of people you probably shouldn't taze: 1. Your driver. Who is driving you. At this very moment.

After almost deleting my DA a few months back i decided to go back to upload some recent works and of course someone immediately sent me a note asking for free art - with references and exact thing they need ready, not even "do you do requests".
I left a pretty rude reply because I can't contain my temper sometimes but I only feel MILDLY BAD about it.
