Tiny bit messy because my marker died half way but I tried to sqeeze out the last bits out of it. Pose and composition was referenced from a vintage Vogue cover.
I was never the kind of person to like… make fun of the custodial staff because I knew the work was hard. But for a lot of my life I’ve had it in my head that anyone working in maintenance is miserable and the more I work in parks maintenance the more my mind has changed on the matter.
Like… no one ENJOYS scrubbing what you only hope is chocolate frosting from the sink, but everyone enjoys having a clean sink.
And most of the guys I’ve worked with say something to the effect of ‘I like knowing that I make a difference, even if no one notices.’ And I think theres something to that! It’s very nice when someone thanks you, though.
If I were still healthy enough to do maintenance work I would seriously consider spending my whole life doing it. The pay is awful but I really enjoy cleaning stuff. I’m good at it! Nobody else seems to want to do it but like. I love it
I want the writer’s strike to last until they get everything they demand and more. I want the SAG strike to last until AI is entirely forbidden across the board in the entire industry. I want CGI artists to unionize and strike. I want animators to strike. I want composers and directors and designers and VAs and techies and producers and stage hands and game devs and programmers and recording artists to strike.
I want every aspect of the entertainment industry brought to a grinding halt for months or even years to take it from the corps and put it back in the hands of the artists.
