No matter how much attention you get… it doesn’t really matter if it’s not from your favorite person 💔 Colors: @guscolorist Follow: @lovelesscupid Going to go a bit deeper on this one in the Sunday Lovebomb newsletter. Sign up to get in my head a little. Link in bio. #lovelesssociety #lovelesscupid #sundaycomics #webcomic #cupid #love #webtoons

148. Bare Necessities. I wonder how the world would be if we all just walked around nude 🤔 It would be impossible to over sexualize anyone, because it would be common. Ya’ know, like if you’re around someone naked too long, it kinda just becomes regular and you just see…them. Even that notion of truly being seen. Not being ashamed of who you are. Getting all those nutrients from the sun, aiding you in feeling like your most confident self. Being able to let go of who the world tells you to be. We’d have to rely on the energy of a person more to be attracted to them. Their thoughts, beliefs, and the way we generally feel around them would be the barometer. I probably should just research how things work in nudist camps. I’m sure there’s data on it. Closest I’ve gotten is swingers clubs where ironically I’ve seen the most authentic and truthful conversations happen. Just random thoughts, because I clearly won’t stop drawing this stuff. 😌 #lovelesssociety #lovelesscupid @lovelesscupid

147. False Idols. Taking that step back to remember, this person isn’t your religion. You aren’t a prisoner to their alter, yet you remain hopeful that they will eventually bless you for being a loyal follower. • • I’ll go into it more next newsletter. I spent too long on this not to talk on it more. RiP to my black pen. They fought the good fight. #lovelesssociety #lovelesscupid @lovelesscupid

Got to spend time with @akiarene yesterday as we talked about being parents, healing, and I took in her stories revolving around growing in marriage. Really enjoyed her and can’t wait for her to tell you all about her Loveless tattoos soon!! #lovelesssociety

Since Peru, I’ve really loved tattooing a ton (about to send a lovebomb newsletter on it, so sign up if you haven’t on LovelessSociety.com). This one is on @lmturk who was a joy to discuss healing with. I’m so ready to get these interviews going. All these Loveless tattoos have meaning, and I can’t wait for the Society to share. #lovelesssociety

An iconic symbol deserves an iconic shirt. The original Lovebomb was created in 2011 and has evolved through time. The artist behind it, @lovelessmelvin said it best in a recent write up: "The bomb represents a return to self. Your authentic self. No matter what you've been through and had to overcome, this bomb reminds you that you are the fucking shit. Every unique part of you makes you the person that you are. Not the parts that people approve of. I'm talking about the details that make YOU feel alive to be you. And we're all individual in that way. Only you know the answer to what the bomb represents for you. I'm glad we could create this symbol as a reminder of who you are. The wick that resembles a crack on the heart is a metaphor of the world and its opinions on who you should be. But when it's ignited, all that is left is your full heart. The real you. And the ensuing blast is everything you touch afterwards either being repelled or attracted to you. Now that you have broken the mold and live authentically, only things aligned with you can even be in your orbit." Powerful, right? Well, this one is for the true lovebombers. Destined to be your favorite shirt (it's ours, but obviously, we're a bit biased). Supplies limited 😎 📸: @s.x.w.x.j aka @loveless.noir LovelessSociety.com

146. Cleansing. When I’d see girls burning sage, I’d feel it was performative. They’re just trying to look like Lisa Bonet I’d think (or just liked the admittedly refreshing smell). After finally not just feeling but seeing energy, I get it. It’s the easiest way to cleanse that energetic heaviness. I couldn’t see it before because I was blinded by how much I allowed myself to carry from the world. Guess I’m the one looking like a hippie as I flick my lighter to feel at peace from its light scent these days. I apologize. I’ll make sure my essence is as weightless as the smoke it emanates. #lovelesssociety #lovelesscupid @lovelesscupid

145. Me. I’m in the process of trying to figure out who I am. For some, I know those fingers are ready to type in tons of inspiring things to help pick me up. There’s no need for that. This is no sad post at all. Honestly, I’ve never been so full of life. And while my ego loves hearing great things about me, I’ve learned that even those things aren’t “true.” (Well, I mean, they are because opinions are valid and honest, but they are only that. The real me is something so damn pure it’s insane). My whole life, I’ve walked around thinking my experiences and responses are what made me. Nah. Gotta go even purer than that. I don’t carry my traumas anymore. My heartbreaks were lessons that don’t define me. I don’t operate from a lens of scarcity from growing up poor anymore. I don’t need validation from anyone to prove I’m worthy of whatever the fuck. I don’t need likes to boost my art up the algorithm. As a matter of fact, I don’t even need to make perfect art anymore. It can look like whatever as long as I like it and feel like I want to share a piece of me that day. I don’t need to compare myself to any other artist as I’m not in competition with them (or even myself anymore. I create because it makes me feel good to share my gift). So who am I without all these labels and things I’ve convinced myself that I am? A father? That’s a good start. A son? Yep. A person that likes to draw? Definitely. I dig love? Hells yeah. I love a good story? You better believe it. Lastly, women are my favorite thing to draw? Yep, especially when they’re double cheeked up. You know what… that’s good enough. I’m content with those things. And I feel complete. I don’t need labels for it. I just want to exist in its simplicity and see what’s next for me. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It’s going to be a fun one. #lovelesssociety #lovelesscupid #theselongcaptionsaregonnastop 😂🦊

Whether you were a fan of Cupid today, wanted to choke the shit out of him, or were kinda nonchalant because you were too busy showing yourself love, we just wanted to acknowledge you. Love is powerful and can lead us to the life we want when acknowledged. While not always easy, it is always worth it. Regardless, Cupid’s got your back (depending on how he feels that day, but still 🥴😅). Happy Valentine’s Day. Colors: @guscolorist

The original Lovebomb hoodie is back in stock. Get ‘em while you can. ♥️💔💣
