i've been making art just for fun lately, instead of trying to vent pain/trauma.

it feels great to just draw for hell of it. sometimes art means things. other times, it's just cool designs. :3

mad every day that i will never make a better piece of art than Sam Esmail's "Mr. Robot" because that is an impossible task.

it is literally a perfect piece of film-literature.

stunningly gorgeous from every single angle, painfully empathetic, impossibly cerebral and made with three huge goals in mind:

one: show almost every flavor of trauma, how trauma impacts people differently and how to work-through trauma.

two: pave the path to health through owning trauma, taking the journey and learning that the past can't be changed, but a better future can be built, together.

three: expand perspectives with each rewatch, so the audience can grasp that reality is shared perspectives and maybe even learn true empathy.

sam esmail gave us a once-in-a-lifetime gift that came out of fucking nowhere.

a gift like a torch that i can only barely keep going with my dinky match, hoping the raw, beautiful, painful reality of being a person doesn't fizzle out in the coming decades.

sam, you crazy son of a bitch. i'd ask how you pulled it off if i ever got in front of you, but i already know the answer: you had to.

"You, you play, but there are no winners in the game."

I know I've been pretty radio silent about my latest manuscript, but there's a reason for that:

It's a very delicate culmination of a powerful idea. An idea that's a lifelong dream. A lifelong dream to do something I never thought possible.

This next book (PINK OLIVE) will set up all my literary works going forward and possibly even my life? That won't make sense to you right now, and that's OK.

I have to stick the landing, basically.

I hope you can be patient for something truly incredible. But until then, check out my other books. You'll want to read them before the upcoming one (PINK OLIVE) <3

Made some weird illustration about gender recently. You know, it just be like that sometimes.

Had a lot of fun with this piece of art...

Reminds me of my older work, but a lot more focused.

"Same old enemy" - Everyone has something they're fighting. But what I'm fighting, I'm not sure most people know.

I've told them, but if you make art to communicate like I do, stuff can get lost in translation.

Being an artist in 2023 is really weird. lol.

Have you always wanted to make art, but don't know where to start?

Let me help you get on the path to making your art, your way.

Fair warning: this is quite a long read, but I promise that it will help you make art that's all your own (and way faster than practicing on cubes or reading 469464 books).

MAKE ME GOLD

some weird art i made after playing alan wake 2 with the goal of composition and not caring about meaning.

strangely enough, it's still symbolic.

weird how that works.
