Coreyartus Imagery<p>The second of my fairytale-themed greeting cards is available in my shop. It’s based on “The Princess and the Pea”. </p><p>It seems to me that this might be one of those lesser-known tales. But it was the inspiration for Once Upon a Mattress, Carol Burnett’s Broadway debut in 1959.</p><p>Once again, this is done in an Art Nouveau-inspired style with lots of lines and textures.</p><p><a href="https://goimagine.com/princess-and-the-pea-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">goimagine.com/princess-and-the</span><span class="invisible">-pea-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fairytale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fairytale</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FediGiftShop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediGiftShop</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GreetingCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreetingCards</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/IndieArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieArtist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ShopSmall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShopSmall</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ArtForSale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtForSale</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a></p>

Coreyartus Imagery<p>Last night, in a desperate attempt to get my mind off all the insanity, I started a new image so my brain would stop grinding and I could focus on something constructive.</p><p>It’s a challenging thing right now to keep creating, to keep inventing, to keep adding to the fabric of the universe to counteract all the bad. I think of it as a sort of artistic duty to keep making, to counter the evils that are so proud right now with some sort of antidote…</p><p>It’s important to remember not to retreat into complete escapism and turn a blind eye. But it is also important to try to feed and sustain the soul and heart that’s being injured and bruised.</p><p>For me, trying to create in the face of so much hate is sometimes the only aspect of agency I feel I have. It’s one of the few things I can control right now. So I’m not going to stop doing it.</p><p>This is my piece, “The Ugly Duckling”, as well as the link to the speedpaint vid on MakerTube. </p><p><a href="https://makertube.net/w/qX4ZSB94GCxEY2f4LBHVeE?autoplay=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">makertube.net/w/qX4ZSB94GCxEY2</span><span class="invisible">f4LBHVeE?autoplay=1</span></a></p><p>Don’t let them make you feel your creativity is just a simple diversion or distraction from reality, and that you should be doing other more substantive things. It is more than that. it’s your responsibility to “add" when so many are “subtracting". It’s what you can do better than anyone else. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Fairytale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fairytale</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Procreate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Procreate</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ProcreateArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProcreateArtist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/IndieArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieArtist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Speedpaint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Speedpaint</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Artistlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Artistlife</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Artlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Artlife</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a></p>
