Looking at Zimmerman is better than looking at Instagram.

I was researching motorcycles for art reference and my ads were so XTREME for awhile... but now it’s back to bedding and niche market dish wands (which I don’t remember ever looking into, but I did buy a brush thing and maybe I said “hmm.. scrubby!” out loud and my phone was listening??) anyway, love this as always

Hi Edith,

Love those dress sketches! The diff poses! Gotta have drawing human figures skills to do that. I love observing the diff angles of the arms and legs, the faces, etc. Ok. So, I just made something fun; technical. 😛 But, appreciate the work you’ve poured into your work. It takes storytelling skills, drawing skills, and that willingness to share. And to keep going. 👏

the one thing i can't figure out, is that somehow google/instagram hears me? or like...hears my thoughts lmao. for instance, the other night i was watching twitch (which is my partner's account under his username and email) and the streamer mentioned something i was unfamiliar with, so i googled it on my phone, without saying anything. i so wish i could remember exactly what it was, but i typed something really innocuous like "what constitutes a..." and it autofilled whatever the specific word that began with A was immediately. surely there could have been hundreds if not thousands of ways to finish that sentence, but it knew the exact thing i was curious about? there must be a logical explanation but fuck if i know what it is lol.

...also i had to google "dish wand" because i didn't know what that was so...i look forward to the deluge of dish wand ads now. could be worse. sometimes friends send me stuff that probably is funny/interesting but i won't ever open it because i can't bear to have The Internet thinking i'm legitimately interested in whatever it is XD

Your dress ads are way better than the ones Instagram thinks people will like. And also, I 100% relate to that running article!
