For me, it’s to remove this “normal” filter that I have in public. To fully be myself and embrace my weirdness. To stop letting my anxiety dictate things. To dance as crazy as I want and sing my heart out. We really only live once and tomorrow is not promised. Ugly is BEAUTIFUL!🫶🏼
I'd heard there were graphic pictures online but luckily, I don't use twitter so managed to avoid seeing any of it
I googled his name multiple times (well, not google truly, I use Duckduckgo) and it's been fine, but today it decided to include a picture of the crash I'd never seen before and I did the mistake of checking what it was
I did flag it so it should (eventually) no longer show up in the results but... yeah if you notice crash pics you're not already familiar with, skip it. you'll regret it
If anyone wants to reply with their fav pics of him as a cleanser, that'd be cool and I might sketch them since that's why I was googling him in the first place
Hello all~
I was thinking of doing a giveaway but wanted to see how many people might be interested first before I order anything. I did one on another subreddit 7 years ago and I thought it would be fun to do one again to try to bring some positivity during a time when we're all feeling down and also as a way to say thanks to everyone here for continuing to honor Oliver’s legacy with your posts.
What I would be giving away would be a keychain charm and sticker of a drawing I did (first image) and then some various stickers and acrylic pins of random designs (2nd image)I made using images of Oliver I found online in various places. (I figure it's ok to use them since I'm not selling anything or making any profit from this but I also don't want to be disrespectful by using someone's photos. I don't remember where all of them came from though. Any opinions on this? It's specifically number 1 and 3 that I don't remember the origin of. I believe the rest came straight from Oliver's own Instagram or were found on Google images.)
The giveaway would be open to any location and I would probably pick 5 or so winners using a random number generator and each winner would get the same things.
Also, I think it would be best to keep it 18+ just because | don't really want to ask for mailing addresses from minors. I guess this would just be on the honor system though because I'm not sure how I would verify that.
So would anyone be interested in this giveaway?
If anyone is interested then I will probably make the official giveaway post in a month or so after I've had time to order everything and have it arrive, that way I can make sure there's no missing or damaged stuff and I can send it fairly quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(July 5th) EDIT: Thank you for all your interest! Everything has been ordered! (I ended up not using designs 1 and 3 since I didn’t remember where they came from and didn’t want to use the photos without permission.) The pins are from one company and keychains/stickers from another but I have used both companies before and their turn-around times are pretty decent so hopefully it won’t take too long for everything to arrive. I ordered extras of everything so I can pick a few more winners also. 💕
Got these earrings for our knight and shinning armor Oliver tree, hell yeah. 👍 ⚔️💘
Hi everyone 👋🏼
I’m watching the Ari Shaffir podcast where Oliver talks about his love of photography.
He talks about a book he wanted to make with all of his photography from around the world and I look forward to it seeing the light of day in the future (I’m very hopeful it will be the case).
But he also said he came back to photography which implies some older photo work from him might already be available somewhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction, if that’s available anywhere? I would love to see it as a photography lover myself.
Thanks a bunch. Sending hugs to you all. I hope you had/will have a beautiful day. 💜
Has he been laid to rest yet? I know the personal funeral is none of our business but I just wanted to know if his vessel made it to his final resting place. I know nobody wants to talk about it but it’s been on my mind. Sorry to upset anybody.
Long live Oliver Tree.🌲
Hope everyone is holding up ok today ❤️
You all have been critical in my healing process. I've been here on reddit a lot more since we lost Oliver.
I can't believe so many posts and responses that had almost an identical reaction in the details when expressing the pain.
I honestly was getting annoyed at Reddit prompts this last two weeks. "Like you are doing great! You've earned bla blah blah", when I have been here because my heart was broken and I just needed to be connected to others who understand.
Feeling grateful for this group of Oliver Tree lovers from all walks of life.
Thank you to everyone who has decided to openly share and express their raw emotions, art and tributes during this process. It's a brave and vulnerable thing to do and it is incredibly healing to be a part of it. 🙌👽🌈♥️
Special thanks to the moderator for doing such a good job managing it all. ✌️👽🌈♥️
I feel sad I only had access to the full graphic novel after Oliver's passing... I love Little Ricky ZR3. Part of me is like "damn, I wish I had these ideas and drawn them sooner". Bummer... I still hope people (fans old and new) will be making things about him and his characters in the decades to come. We gotta keep that spirit alive.
The dark winged angel outfit reminds of a soulslike game boss. I used that, their fight in the graphic novel and Elden Ring as inspiration.
I started this as a Template for other stuff because I was sad that he is gone, but I vibed with it so much I just ended up working on it basically non-stop. Not sure if I am totally done but I thought you guys might enjoy it
