Blog

This blog tells about the updates Angela makes.

It features her art but talks a bit about others, etc. as well. This does not happen in every post!

Angela is not shy in speaking up about others who have inspired her, etc.

This blog is to help create awareness of LGBTQ rights, etc. but first speaks up for Women in the arts.

However please note that if you have any political issues, etc. contact those in charge of them. This blog is mainly about art.

Thank you for understanding and Namaste

Bi-sexuality, collages & writing

Happy Monday everyone!

I have a few things to share with you today!

The first one is my weekly collage showing the works that I’ve been sharing during the week. As many know, I’ve been sharing older works that I made in the past.

This new collage shows alot of ACEOs that I created.

The first one was made while going through a photography phase. I still love photography but it is not my first love.

The second one is about love, bi-sexuality and people understanding each other.

Although I am bi-sexual, if I were never attracted to the same sex, I could easily say that I’m straight.

I do like the opposite sex more but there’s also the fact that you can’t choose who you love. It’s just not realistic to say that choosing is a possibility. I honestly wish that I could just choose for myself because that would be easier.

When I was younger I would just tell people that I was gay because it seemed easier. Although, I’d go back and forth from gay to bi-sexual. I’m not gay and as I grew I realised that I was only living a lie by telling people that I was.

There are so many titles for bi-sexuality today that I just stick with bi-sexuality and honestly don’t feel the need to bring it up all the time. I’m writing about it in this post because recent events made me think about it a bit.

I DO wish that it were noted more. That is one of the reasons for my group ArtCardsUnited being in the colours of bi-sexuality.

Trans, gays, etc. are noted much more and bi-sexuals are often left out. Yet still none are noted enough! I want to help us to be noted too because nobody is ever alone and nobody deserves to feel as if they are.

I personally don’t believe that every name that is under the category of bi-sexual should be noted in everything because that would be alot of names.

Gays, Trans and straights do not have to worry about that. They know who they are and know who they like, etc.

Bi-sexuals have to wait until they find that one other soul that they connect with to find out which sex they will be with forever. At least that is the case with this bi-sexual.

It differs with many because some are more than willing to be with multiple people at once. I am only interested in ONE person at a time.

I do believe that bi-sexuals should be noted more though because those who are bi-sexual aren’t gay, straight or trans. We do not ONLY like the same sex, we do not ONLY like the opposite sex and we do not feel that our bodies have to be changed in order to find true happiness.

I can honestly only imagine how hard that must be!

There is NO shame in any of those things but I can’t truthfully say that I’m sure where I believe bi-sexuals fit in.

I tend to believe that those who can choose, can choose. Even if it’s something that some in society don’t understand, the fact is they can choose. They can choose much more so today with technology, etc. It takes courage that some may not have to be who you are but still in the end, many can choose and don’t have to wait to find out.

Some may disagree and that’s fine too because everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Still, I envy those with a choice and always have.

Movin on, the work in the middle shows 8 ACEO cards that when put together create one artwork.

Next I wanted to share a book cover that I’ve made!

I’m a member of AWAI and got a notebook to write down different things about it. To make it fun I added AWAI on it, inked the background and added a star, etc.! It was fun to create! I hope that you like it.

There is of course the AWAI website and different online options to write down the things in their group but I’m a bit old school and love notebooks.

I’m thinking about writing more blog posts too. It is good practice and fun. I used to write in my blog each day. I would base it on my art of course and only sometimes add in short stories of what was going on, etc. It was also just a blog so I didn’t have to keep up with a website or anything else that I do today.

I’d just write! It was a blast.

I have some more news for next week that I can’t wait to share!

Keep your eyes on my blog or daily posts to Facebook and Instagram to find out. :)

Lastly, I have a collage that I made in support of

Stacey Abrams,

Raphael Warnock,

Wade Herring

and Jon Ossoff!!

They can count on me to always support them!

You can read more about them by going to their sites!

Stacey Abrams: https://staceyabrams.com/

Raphael Warnock: https://www.warnock.senate.gov/

Wade Herring: https://www.wadeherringforcongress.com/

Jon Ossoff: https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/

Contact them about any political issues and let your voices be heard because YOU MATTER!!!

Don’t ignore injustice because as the great Martin Luther King said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Fear can paralyze a community and get people to become silent about the things that matter most.

Do not let others drag fear into your heart. Do not stay silent!

As said in Stephen King’s The Stand, Make your STAND!

This world will be better if people work together to help each other before more problems occur.

Huge thanks to KVADPhoto+PRO2 and Paint 3D for providing such wonderful options!

I have to suggest them to any artist!

Until next time.

Namaste,

Angela
