Rose With Eyeballs, and Rose Lips With Eyes Creatures.

I recently uploaded two new designs to the TerriblyTina shop on Redbubble. The designs are fairly similar on one I placed a series of circles that vaguely resemble eyeballs inside of what could be considered a rose. On the other design I omitted the circles inside the rose and placed two sparkle like eyes above the rose.

Images below show what the Rose With Eyeballs design looks like.

Both designs Rose With Eyeballs, and Rose Lips With Eyes are available for purchase on items shown above and more at the TerriblyTina shop on Redbubble. Thanks for stopping by Temperamentally Tina.

Mutated factory creature art.

Last night I took a break from drawing kiddish art and just allowed my mind to run a bit. I I created a drawing that sort of resembled a question mark with floating bubble eyes. The last black layer my mind interpreted as a factory in the distance, and the black question mark creature I perceived as a puff of smoke coming from the factory. I titled the design Mutated Factory Creature. As most of my inkblot type of art it’s all up to interpretation, there really is no one answer to what the creatures are. The whole point of the art is just to free my mind and not become overly stressed trying to draw something perfectly instead just drawing and whatever happens happens.

I’ve been drawing a lot of artwork with a Halloween theme recently to create early educational games to play with my daughters, and share with others. After finishing 26 kids in Halloween costumes I needed a break to not be all stressed out about it. I have a really hard time drawing hands, even cartoonish style it makes me crazy frustrated therefore some of the characters hands were hidden behind their back. My frustration with my art skill is what drove me to create my creature art in the first place. I disliked most everything I would draw feeling it would never live up to my expectations or rank anywhere decent within the world of art therefore I began to just draw, rather than decide where the picture would end up I just began to simply draw and whatever happened happened.

Below images show what the Mutated Factory Creature With Eyes design looks like.

Below images show what the Mutated Factory Creature Without Eyes looks like.

I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to upload on Redbubble and share therefore I uploaded the design both ways with and without eyes.

Spider Creature

All my thoughts are all over the place and often I’m overwhelmed with the world around me. Stressed out by situations that I’m powerless to fix, stuck within a mindset that probably will never be adapted by the rest of the world. Watching the world fall apart as I sit on the sidelines as a helpless spectator.

I’ve been putting most my time within education and creating content to help further reinforce my daughters school studies. I figure regardless of the state of the world it’s my responsibility as a parent to try and raise a well educated and adjusted member of society whatever that society may be in the future. Maybe it’s time for the world to readjust priorities and realize what we’ve been doing wasn’t working anyways, and embrace our new realities. For me my goal by the time my daughter started school was to work outside of our home as little as possible, and homeschool.

Before when I spoke of my ideas I was often met with skepticism, because children need socialization. Therefore my husband and I had planned on sending her to school, and then the world sort of crashed and what once was a skeptical idea became the best solution.

Anyways I live within a fickle mind. That jumps from subject to subject. Often burdened by emotions that don’t always have a concrete reason behind them. Sometimes I get so angry about how at this point in time people can still be closed minded.

When I become overly stressed out because I have an over active imagination mixed with a temperamental center, I try to back away from art that has to fit a concrete form. That’s when I sit down and create my inkblot creature sort of art. I like the idea of just drawing whatever with no destination in mind, no image that I set out to create. The idea that it’s just some sort of creature left up to interpretation. I suppose because I’ve often been told over the years I’m bizarre and don’t see things the way the rest of the world does I’m fascinated with the idea of creating art that each person can see in their very own way.

Here’s the image that sparked the above rambles…

When I finished the creature I couldn’t get one strict feel from it. Is it one creature? Is it two, is the umbrella like creature being weighted down by the other creature? Or is the umbrella like creature holding the other captive? Are they connected is it a spider creature? Since I had to pick a name I went with Spider Creature.

Do you see a man in the floor?

Ever since I was young I found myself mesmerized by the grooves and lines and patterns within floor tiles, walls, doors whatever. It’s intriguing to me to think what happens by accident, if a person stares long enough within a wood grain on a door or within the textured design on a floor eventually an image can be seen. As if it’s just hiding there waiting to be found.

I took a picture of my bathroom floor to capture an image of a haunting man, and I ended up noticing after I took the picture that there was a shadow from my phone at the bottom that I interpreted as a creepy clown. As I looked more at the image I then was like uhh maybe its a woman in a hooded cloak with a necklace around her neck.

Maybe you see what I see, maybe you see something else. Or maybe you look at this and think what the hell it’s just a bathroom floor there’s nothing there.

The concept I’m most fascinated by is the idea that even the same exact image each person can view and or see a completely different way. The idea that our brains are wired differently and images are interpreted by individuals differently fascinate me. I think the ability to find things that are hidden or to be able to imagine something another hasn’t is a trait that’s important in the world and often forgotten because I feel people get lost within the sense that they have to be accepted and acceptance means not standing out apart of the crowd. Therefore art becomes dormant, and people forget to find their own style because they’re so wrapped up in being likable. Rather than setting their own path.

I uploaded the design onto the Terribly Tina Redbubble shop, below are what a few of the products look like with the image..

Like An Octopus Creature

I’ve been trying to get myself to draw more of the creature art type of stuff because it’s the only way I’m able to shut my mind off for several minutes at a time. I have a difficult time relaxing my husband recently bought this odd back posture thing that’s suppose to correct posture by laying on it. It sounds like some ridiculous joke gadget, and when we got it he’s like yea just lay on it for 15 minutes and I’m like 15 minutes what the fuck I just lay there? I can’t handle sitting still for long periods of time I get anxious which I suppose is my problem I can’t relax. Anyways past that boring bit of info I’ve been drawing lately stuff for educational kid projects I’m working on or for kid books and what not. That stuff just stresses me out drawing something that looks like something that exists and has to fit a certain criteria in which everyone can say oh yea that’s a hedgehog or whatever. With my creature art it doesn’t have to hold any real standard and it’s destressing.

Having to fit in a box has never been my thing, I get all stressed out fitting standards of anything because most of the time I don’t actually agree with most the shit I just do because I guess they’re things humans are suppose to do. For example Santa Claus, a fat man in a red suit that passes out presents that we supposedly allow in our homes once a year to give presents to our children? To keep the lie alive for our children we take them to sit on a strange mans lap? Luckily my daughter hasn’t asked to sit in Santa’s lap yet, so we’ve been able to skip that tradition since she’s been born. Any other time if that sort of character was parked outside your house in lets say a white van and he was offering toys or candy to your children he’d be arrested. The entire concept is insanity.

Anyways past the rambles here is what Like an Octopus Creature looks like…

Mask designs…

I’ve been trying to come up with a mask design I could appropriately wear when at work, or generally out in public, that wouldn’t overly draw attention to myself. I don’t really like to stand out. I’ve been wearing mostly plain black masks, although plain suits my fashion sense when it comes to clothes wearing a plain black mask feels boring. Maybe that’s because I’ve kept my work morning routine the same wake up exercise, brush teeth, get dressed whatever, now it’s like oh shit I need to grab my mask. In that moment it’s that sense of damn the world isn’t the same as it was that seems to hit me as I walk out the door. Therefore I felt like I needed something silly or with some sort of pattern to be a little less depressing, the facts behind wearing a mask in itself isn’t exactly uplifting. Yea the mask itself being able to help slow the spread of COVID-19 is great and all, it just really depressing to put it on in the morning as it’s a reminder that everything is not stable. Not that the world ever was, only now unlike piling all our garbage out our doors into a dump we cant ignore it. The COVID-19 reality is very much here and we just have to do our best to live through it. Since I had in mind designs to fit on a mask they’re not all my typical designs, and slightly out of my comfort zone being as they’re not all made of black, white, and grey shades only.

Anyways these are several of the mask designs I came up with…

If interested in checking out any of the mask designs above they’re available for purchase through RedBubble the designs are available on more items than masks alone.

Life is a randomized series of events.

A smiley face made out of cat food.

My theory on life is simply that it’s a randomized series of events set in motion by every action of every person that’s ever existed. My mind trained by the art of sponge painting is set up to make a connection between everything even the most simplest of things. Short back story my father when I was growing up had an obsession with sponge painting ceilings and every ceiling in my parents home were covered in a sponge paint design for decades. I’d spend hours staring at the ceiling staring at faces and monsters for hours, always loosing track of what I saw minutes prior as if the paint literally changed shape before my eyes.

Getting back to the smiley face made out of cat food. A few days ago I lost power, my kids were still asleep and I was left with my own thoughts. I swept my kitchen floor onto the carpet and by some sort of chance I swept the pile of cat food into a perfect smile. My mind being eccentric and always craving more answers to questions that are better off left unanswered started thinking. For a moment feeling as if a smiley face could turn an other wise shit situation into something better. Last week I had already thrown out all the contents in my freezer and fridge due to a several day power outage, so I kept thinking damn that sucks.

Quickly my thoughts negated from one path and barreled towards the next. With the state of society sometimes I lose myself within thought. I try not to think to much what it’s like to be other people. Someone that would spit on a grocery clerk just because, or a person that would beat the shit out another because of the color of their skin. Sometimes I just sit back and think how the hell is anyone still racist? I’m at a loss trying to understand the human race. It’s disturbing to know these characters playing out on the television are very much real now.

Past the craziness of the world my anxiety hits all time high levels whenever I think deeper into the concept of life. Of death. The idea that my mind will just shut off there’s nothing else but darkness, and I’ll never even know because I’ll be dead. It really trips my mind out. The fear inside me to admit that I don’t believe in anything besides people, besides myself, my family. It’s almost as if I’m accepting failure for so many people are caught up in the construct of GOD that by admitting I believe in people and nothing more I may lose any potential interest people have in my art or writing.

I believe in a series of events set in motion by strangers crossing paths with strangers. If I pull out quicker than I should have off a street and pissed the person off behind me, I could have set up an entire series of events that led to the demise of an individual I’ve never known. For humans are temperamental creatures wearing their misfortunes and stresses upon their shoulders and patience is worn the thinnest when behind a wheel. Therefore maybe they speed up at a yellow light cutting off someone else then that person speeds up and I don’t know rear ends a car with a child in the back seat. I’m sure that sounds like a far reach but that’s the kind of shit my mind thinks about constantly.

I don’t believe there is a greater design. Now I’m not telling anyone they’re wrong if they do because I have no more proof then anyone else. It’s always been hard for me though because I always need more. More answers than have faith. What made the higher power? if a higher power made us, what made that higher power? Now I’m just left with an even bigger question. Anyways that’s the kind of things I think about on a daily basis.

Big Mouth Creature

The name of the creature is kind of ridiculous, I had no idea what to name it besides Big Mouth Creature. A few days ago I uploaded No eyes Stitches Creature. I figured today I’d share another version I designed in which the creature had two eyes. On account of this one not having any stitches I had to think of a different name. Although my attempt wasn’t the best solution, it felt fitting enough. It has a fairly big mouth with big teeth.

This is what the creature looks like…
