purplekecleon: Hi everyone!!! This is an art supplies giveaway for me reaching an amount of followers I said I’d do a giveaway at! Here are the things you’ll be getting, as you can see from the photo! 6” by 10” Sketchbook for both wet and dry media A bottle of ink, you pick the color, I’ll order it from a specific site A fountain pen that comes with the ink from the same site 11 colors of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors 3 brushes A drawing of a subject of your choice to go on the first page! You might want to check my art out if you’re unfamiliar with me to see what types of things I usually do And that’s that.  I don’t use any of those watercolor tubes anymore, as I’ve replaced them each with higher quality tubes, so I thought: why not give them away?  And I like the fountain pen I’ve been using so much that I think I’d like someone else to try it, too.  I’ve also replaced the three brushes I’ve included here, so I don’t need those, either.  And a drawing for good measure. Here are the rules! Please follow these: No giveaway blogs.  I want more people to actually see this and have a chance at getting something; a lot of artists don’t have a lot of money… Reblogs enter you, and a Like helps.  You can’t just like - but you can do both to double your chances of just reblogging (if it falls on someone who liked it, I’ll check to see if they reblogged it) I’ll be checking the blog that wins to see if you’re an active blog. You gotta use these after they arrive! I obviously can’t enforce this, but I want to see people not being timid! Make art! That’s what these are for.  I know a thing that stops a lot of people is being scared they’ll mess up and waste expensive supplies… but if this is a gift, that shouldn’t matter! This ends on May 24th. If I send an ask and you don’t respond within 2 days, I’ll ask the next person, and so on. I will ship anywhere. I’ll pay the shipping. I think that’s everything.  Have fun!!! Good luck!

When Mahatma Gandhi launched his campaign of peaceful resistance, Churchill raged that he “ought to be lain bound hand and foot at the gates of Delhi, and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with the new Viceroy seated on its back.” As the resistance swelled, he announced: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.” This hatred killed. To give just one, major, example, in 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, caused – as the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has proved – by the imperial policies of the British. Up to 3 million people starved to death while British officials begged Churchill to direct food supplies to the region. He bluntly refused. He raged that it was their own fault for “breeding like rabbits”. At other times, he said the plague was “merrily” culling the population.
