Beautiful Loser

... I might have created a short video. Warning! Contains extreme violence, don't watch if you're under 18! I tried to edit out the worser parts, and I don't know if you had to be 18 to watch the movie but a quick google search said so, so I'll go with that. https://filebin.net/fbvw2med99bc4gd5/UOATIH_Scarface.mp4?t=9j7ogvr6

You're not the first person to suggest that. I even had a new made friend offering me advice if I'd ever start an Etsy shop.I'm just so convinced that no one would be interested in buying my art (but then again, me selling it could just be a thing I do on the side of other things I suppose, it doesn't have to be a full-time project) because not even I think it's very interesting. I enjoy making art but like... I just find it hard to imagine that anyone would want to buy my black and white things lol. But I did buy a notebook to write down things if I ever want to start an Etsy. Because I have so many questions that I want to try to find an answer to before I start, so I figured I could write down things concerning starting a shop in it. So I guess that's a small step already? One of those questions is like... who to hire to print up X copies of a drawing, and how much would that cost? You're also not the first person to suggest that I study something about art. Once again, I just can't imagine finding a job with an art degree (because I've heard it can be so competitive - and I've never really worked with digital art, which I assume is something "everyone" should know today) and I don't think I'm strong or creative enough right now to start something on my own. And there's a small voice telling me to not think I'm somebody and that anyone could replace me. "There's always someone better out there" after all, why would anyone want me/be interested in my art? Also, I'm not sure if I want to keep art as a hobby or if I should try yo make a profession of it yet. Thank you for the comment though!

(Mods, please move this to the news section later. ♥ I'm too impatient for wait for you to approve a new thread there.) Lana's acclaim continues! This time, the magazine NME has nominated her for their own awards not only once, but thrice!, for the following categories: BEST ALBUM IN THE WORLD Billie Eilish – ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ FKA twigs – ‘Magdalene’ Foals – ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost, Pt. 1’ Lana Del Rey – ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’ Little Simz – ‘GREY Area’ Michael Kiwanuka – ‘Kiwanuka’ Slipknot – ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ Slowthai – ‘Nothing Great About Britain’ Stella Donnelly – ‘Beware Of The Dogs’ Tyler, the Creator – ‘IGOR’ BEST SOLO ACT IN THE WORLD AJ Tracey Beck Billie Eilish Charli XCX FKA twigs Lana Del Rey Lizzo Slowthai Taylor Swift Yungblud BEST FESTIVAL HEADLINER Cardi B Lana Del Rey Stormzy The 1975 The Cure If you're curious about the other categories and to see if any other artists you support are nominated, click on this link: https://www.nme.com/news/music/nme-awards-2020-nominations-2598499 Honestly surprised they nominated her for "best festival headliner" but okies.

I know that. I know that, too. But I have also seen fashion brands literally stealing art by smaller, often independent artists and sellers. And that's not cool. What I meant is that I think it's sad that they can rip off an idea so obviously and not even trying to change something to make it their own and not a complete copy. Stealing someone's idea is different from being inspired by it. Is the font identical to Lana's font for LFL? No. But you have to admit it's a funny concidence that the font is very similar, has the same/similar colors (red with white background) and they chose to print "Los Angeles" on the fabric, a city Lana very often sings about. Those three things combined make me, a fan, think of Lana Del Rey and her LFL album. I probably wouldn't have reacted if the colors were different or the font was tweaked even more to make it less similar to Lana's. Also, just to clarify, I refer the LFL font as "Lana's" simply because I don't know who's decision it was to use it for the album. And the question is if it's always okay to do so. I'd say no, and I don't say to to "protect" Lana and her brand or whatever, because I honestly think she could care less, but I once again mean that it's not ok to take someone else's art and gain money or fame from it. Only the original creator should get that. Plagiarism will happen, yes, but you can also try to stop it by pointing out when it's wrong. Will it stop? No, because there's always someone who think they'll get away with it. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything and just stand and watch when it happens. When you say that you're guilty of taking ideas and using them, I hope you mean that these ideas inspire you to create something of your own and not taking them as they are, a finished product? Once again, it's a different thing to see, say, an illustration of a fairy and feel inspired to create your own fairy than to trace the lines of the already existing image and call it your own. I don't well enough about fonts to know how it works when it comes to using them, so I will refrain from making a comment about that. This might also be my last comment on the pictures I shared in December.

Ya I figured, I just thought that Lana might have made the LFL font more popular since the album got Grammy nominated and stuff. Plus, the white color of the fabric and the wine red color of the letters... aaaand I wouldn’t be surprised if H&M was “inspired” by popular stuff they see, basically steal it and print it on their clothes. It’s not like other fashion brands haven’t done it before. Not to mention that they picked “Los Angeles” to print, the same city Lana lives in.By yeah, I think the Calvin Klein logo is just a coincidence. Was just something fun I wanted to share, that’s all.

Imagine hearing “doN’t FUcK wid Me!!1!” on repeat after that last scene with the fire cannon and the pool.

@ I honestly thought Valerie had come back when I saw your blue Pikmin profile pic.

Dolemite was really funny!!

Won’t Gucci make something for her though..?

I thought this was an appreciation thread for the pie... I’ll see myself out.

I've seen This is what makes us girls x Homemade dynamite too.

Oh ok, my bad. xP

It’s the opposite for me lol, I don’t romanticize my past and I’m having lots of existential crises. : )))))) I do long for the past though. No, I’ve seen other results too.

“Which LDR and Lorde song combo are you? https://www.buzzfeed.com/dylanrayroberts/everyone-is-a-combination-of-a-lana-del-rey-and-lo-4aoq6x8lcy My result: Why does this feel so accurate?

This looks pretty.

I feel sorry for the girl who blinked. .___.

@@xxmissdaytonaxx Can you upload the imgur link again?

That flower is a very small painting, so if it is made by Lana (which I doubt, it looks like some random pic to me)... well, it looks better than the one in Vogue Italia.

@@electra You did a great job

No. Do you prefer to text or to call?

I mean... are we surprised?

What makes her look foolish? It’s still poetry, but in a different format than she originally planned.

But it’ll be so difficult to go back through the pages if there’s two different things in one thread. X___X

Can you make a new thread for this? <3

New track came out at midnight! Lost in yesterday, another great song and I’m absolutely loving the bass in this song! https://youtu.be/C7VlC0QjdHU
