this is a digital recreation of my animal crossing new leaf flag that is given new context. the art is inspired by the owen pallett heartland album cover. im not sure why i went with the sign of jupiter. possibly due to it looking slightly like my favorite number (4)
i tried to post art on this site after not using it for the longest time, and tumblr ate my post. not meant to be
Some excerpts from an interesting Twitter thread, which spawned from a recent post by @vgdensetsu talking about classic video game graphics, their “intended targets,” differing views on artistic intention, and how the meaning of art changes based on context.

What I say: Country music blows
What I mean: Modern country music, especially songs sung by modern male country artists, revolves around similar themes of toxic masculinity and nationalism. The recurrent lyrics referencing guns, trucks, beer and girls in short shorts are uncreative and not entertaining in the least. However, older country artists and folk rock bands such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and Johnny Cash have stronger, more diverse themes and often carry an overt anti-war message. I hate the fact that what was once an interesting and powerful genre of music has now been claimed by gun-toting conservative bearded dudes, and it hurts my heart to say I hate country music when there are so many country artists that I very much enjoy, but cannot state the fact that I enjoy country music without being associated with the aforementioned group.
