soilrockslove: littlemissmutant: youneedacat: [Watercolor painting with a bright rainbow background and two darker rainbow hands with the fingers “stimming” (I don’t know another word for it) in various ways.] I know this may be a little weird since nobody asked me to do this. But if anyone wants to use this image to promote the Loud Hands Project or to aid with it in any other way, they have my permission to do so, as long as somewhere you give credit to Amanda Baggs as the person who made it. They also have my permission to modify it (such as cropping, adding borders, adding words) as long as the modification is in line with the basic goals and values of the project. I got up at five in the morning suddenly inspired by the project to paint this, so I did, and then I thought maybe people could actually use it. So please — use it. As long as you’re not doing something like sticking the r-word on it, it’s fine. Amanda, thank you SO MUCH for making this for Loud Hands! It’s just perfect. Cover of the anthology, what do we think, people? There’s room to put a title on it and proper stuff for a book cover… This Is Amazing. And I definitely vote for it for the cover of Loud Hands. Oh wow thank you everyone who has responded. I actually had this big internal argument with myself that it was arrogant or presumptuous to even offer to let people use it. While of course obsessing over every minor flaw and doing the I’m Not A Real Artist thing. And of course assuming that because a lot of nondisabled people will praise my work regardless of content (because people with developmental disabilities are expected to be bad at everything) then all of them must be like that. And every other self-hating tape that plays in my head. And even when I shut those tapes up enough to post it, I still wasn’t expecting such a positive reaction.
