Anyways, how are you?

@nut: Michael's does seem an ideal place to get washi tape, except that like, I want some with a color variety and it seems like all their sets are pretty like, color coordinated. ^^;

I am considering doing a few portraits for family, and when shopping for masking tape I decided to do two birds with one stone and get some washi tape. I can use it to decorate my sketchbook, and also use it to tape off my paintings.

Anyways, where is the best place to get washi tape?

Where do you guys shop for art supplies?

Is Jerry's or Dickblick worth it?

Lemme know what y'all think!

Yeah.

Exactly!

And thank you! I feel like this site needs a cup-cake themed DI and I wish i had the skills to design it because a little frosting sworl hat? Oh yuhssss.

@Jolly: Get high-protein bars, and it sounds gross, but pediasure or something like that for nutrients and granola, peanuts, anything non-perishable you can stash that gives you sustenance. I want to say try and hide a minifridge and make you some eggs/rice to stash away if you can, but I feel like even that is unrealistic. If I could come down there and bring you all the food I would! This is so unfair and I honestly apologize for everything they are putting you through. that is such garbage. You shouldn't have to hide a basic human need.

do whatever you can. The cheapest place to live are places like texas, missouri is also pretty reasonable/cheap. But these are small-town type places I've grown up/lived in. If when your course ends you can book it, I truly would because this is unacceptable and I just.... ugh.

@Totalanimefan: The problem if it's the US (speaking from experience) most of the time, most areas you live in, will always side with the home owner/parent and just say f-you move out then. With COVID I'm wondering if there's something that could be done. Other places is different but idk the entire state of their surroundings to give too much advice. I'm just worried they will end up starving because of this.

@Mousy: I don't know if this is a reasonable suggestion, but maybe you can find one specific work station you sit at in your house that when you leave it, you're not working anymore period. No answering phones or e-mails. Almost like an office in your house. Maybe find a way to use skype or something, and let them know when you're online, they can contact you, if you're switched off, then you're not available and you're not negotiating on it.

I don't know if any of these will apply, but sometimes drawing imaginary lines in certain things can help separate work life and home life. Maybe even making your office in a room your kid can't go into or something? Just to give more of that work/home separation? Just word vomiting some ideas, but hopefully you can figure this out and have some peace. Times are crazy rn. It sucks to see so many people going through so much.

@Jolly: okay okay, but hear me out... What if you stash food in your room? Regardless this shouldn't be happening and wow, what rectums. But, maybe if you get a chance to let someone on the outside know the sitch, and you have a window, you could have them bring you some nutritious food, and you can eat in your room, without anyone knowing? Possibly?

Or finding some way to satisfy them by eating with them, but like scooting your chair 6 feet away and telling them technically you're eating with them, but social distancing to ensure everyone is ok.

Otherwise, maybe it'd be possible for you to call a professional to deal with them? Depending on where you live, you could prolly call the popo and tell them what's up and they can give your fam a talking to. If it's the US, people prolly won't care. Canada is a bit more on top of it, and any euro country, from what I understand, will absolutely go ham and make sure rules are enforced.

But it's worth a shot to try something. You need food. It's not negotiable.
@inatlaka: I've never had to cut my mom off... That must have been rough at first. But I am so happy you're doing good now! <3
