How To Be A Heart Breaker - Marina And The Diamonds

i hosted an art sale in my living room last week. it was an anxiety inducing & emotionally exhausting event, but I’m so glad i did it. its such a motivation to see that people like my art enough to buy it, and are happy to support me while i continue to make it. and also, people came and had fun, regardless of if they ended up purchasing anything! so all in all a good experience, I’ll probably do it again sometime 🌹 gwen helped a lot!

i do still have a lot of originals! send me a message if you’re interested in something

A commission I made for a client of his DnD party. It’s meant to be a t-shirt design, which I think is really cool and forced me to work in a very different style than what I’m used to.

The top character is half an innocent-seeming human party member, half his true form- and evil lich who turns out to be the final boss fight. I loved working on this, and I hope to get more commissions like this in the future!

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
