Missing art like I was missing home. šŸ” (personal mini art rambling)
Yesterday, I was busy cleaning the whole day (and the temp. was in the 90s... without AC and sometimes fan šŸ’¦), when at 7 something PM, I felt kind of somber? Awhile repeatedly scrubbing some vents, I was reflecting on the feeling and few other personal stuff.
Suddenly, I just thought,Ā ā€œMan, I miss doing my artā€. And it felt like I was missing home or maybe someone important to me (perhaps thatā€™s cheesy but whatever. Although the day before yesterday, I did a bit of art related stuff).Ā 
Just thought that was interesting and made me thought more of my connection to art (I think especially because no one in my life does art, or rarely does art and itā€™s like more a very casual approach/thought towards that). Ā  Ā Ā 
Later, I couldnā€™t help but be a bit worry for a family member. And then after abating that worry, there was a tinge of loneliness? Suddenly and randomly, felt like looking at some animation, or whatā€™s more commonly called, sakuga. Felt like that kinda help?Ā  Ā Ā

R.I.P. Kazuki Takahashi, as an artist and a person. + thought on Yu-gi-oh! (random rambling)
The creator for Yu-gi-oh!, Kazuki Takahashi, recently passed away on July 6. Feeling this sort of quiet sadness and tinge of disbelief, even though I donā€™t think itā€™s crazy that this can just happen. (like anything could happen in life, right?)
Rambling reflections on Kazuki Takahashi and Yu-gi-oh!:
I remember really loving the series, and I think it was the first anime that I liked that touched on the dark side of humans (which I continue to have some interest in, like the psychological aspect). Recently, a family member started watching the series. Itā€™s dub and yeah, I prefer the original uncut version. But it was still pretty fun watching it again, even with the dub cut.Ā 
His artwork (particularly like after the series, and recently had actually discovered his Instagram) struck me as dynamic and fun, which I like and hope to sometimes make mine like that too. Looking from a blog translating his posts, I feel like he was an artist who created freely. Which I really like and have been giving more thoughts to such a thing recently (like what does it mean to be an artist? Whatā€™s an artistā€™s spirit? Whatā€™s important when it comes to making art? etc). It was a delight to see his posts on creating his own games (designing the layout and 3-d printing it etc), and various other things that he made.Ā 
Donā€™t really know the man, but he seemed like a chill and fun guy. I think his series really touched on becoming a better person, self improvement, pulling through the darker moments, friendships, and what the cycle of hate + inequality can do (probably more but these come to my mind. And I think these themes maybe speak about who Takahashi might have been as a person).
I like that he also wanted to personally stop creating the series after Yugi and Yamiā€™s story ended. (Still was involved with the card games and like looking over/sort of supervising the continuation of the series, but far as Iā€™m aware, not like hands on actually creating/working on the series like before). Yu-gi-oh! wasnā€™t supposed to be primarily a card game series and from what I read, his editor really wanted him to continue that way. Which he agreed/thought the same way(?), and reworked the series, but he told his editor how he wants to complete Yugi and Yamiā€™s story. And he will consider having finish making the series after that happens.Ā 
Yeah, it sounds dramatic hogwash for a series primarily aim for like teens that is based on magical monster card games with a protagonist that has that kind of hairstyle, but I donā€™t think it really matters how it looks or seems to appear, it could have still spoke to anyone. Just depends on who the viewer is and how willing they are to give it a shot to enjoy watching it. (I admit, the series was more like a fun viewing for me than something life ground breaking. But I enjoyed the moments of strong friendship and Yugi becoming a stronger person. Including seeing how Yugi turn out to be, from his illustrations for Instagram, it gave me some warm feelings).Ā 
Anyway, I wish his family and friends well and the strength for handling any affairs due to his passing. Due to personal reason, I might put this post on private another time. Donā€™t know, but for now, I just felt like letting this out. (I think I could have worded some things better for this rambling, but well, itā€™s a rambling...)Ā 
Rest in peace, Kazuki Takahashi. šŸ–¤Ā  Ā  Ā

Not alone, art have all different kind of minds.šŸ§ šŸ’•šŸŽØ+ Backgrounds arenā€™t just there being dead.Ā  (random rambling + flashbacks)
There were other things I thought of rambling but this one, keeps popping up in my mind. šŸ’­
A few days ago, I watched a video of an artist called, Il Lee, talking about what he like most about Rembrandt paintings. The backgrounds were his favorite part. šŸ’­ Which reminded me of a time when I complimented the background of someoneā€™s painting. It was a gradient of warm browns and I felt it brought warmth to the whole painting. It almost felt like an effect of soft warm light illuminating the subject of the painting. (Funnily, I canā€™t really quite remember the subject of the painting. Also, later on and even now, I noticed that I like seeing/seeking out the effects of light or what appears to be effects of lighting.)āœØĀ 
I guess the gradient just looked satisfying (that reminds me of those satisfying videos on youtube with mixing colors and such), or pleasant to take a moment to look at, not just only the whole painting or the subject of the painting. (Which I think is a great way to more closely appreciate art; looking at parts of the painting in sections after the initial viewing as a whole. Actually, I think thereā€™s an artist from the website, who mentioned this too.) Back to the flashback...when I blurted that out and asked how it was done (think more of asking about how to induce the warm atmosphere of the painting which included the background), there were looks of of disbelief from the artist and the people around us. šŸ¤ØThen the artist dead pan saying,Ā ā€œItā€™s just a background...ā€ šŸ˜‘
But colors are relative to one another. And well, I know some people will disagree, but depending on the viewing context, even flat colors can elicit some sort of response from the viewer (like Rothko and color field paintings. Walls or lighting of certain colors etc.). Kind of like when humans see red, and it can reportedly at least for a bit, raise the heart rate and might raise some level of aggression. (But there are factors to this such as cultural and societal ones etc.) Senses work together to make sense (šŸ˜‰) of our world, which can influence our emotions. You know, perception. And wouldn't perception influence how we view situations and even how to deal with them?Ā  Ā 
Red reminds me of when I painted a vase of flowers for my mother. At that time, I felt like using yellow ochre (one of my favorite pigment colors) with some white for the background. The table was painted reddish brown and the flowers were mostly warm colors. Thought of making adjustments but I showed her the painting anyway, and for a few seconds, she liked the flowers. But then apparently noticed the background (or the wall and table) after those few seconds, automatically was put off by it. I insisted on changing the colors then. But she tried to hand wave away my insistence. Yet, I could tell that she was not having that painting. Later, when I went to take it back and to talk it over with my father, he came to me at the same moment to ask me to change those colors. She told him the red made her sad.Ā 
Anyway, colors and perceptions (as also can be seen in my other posts) are interesting to me. Would be lovely to read more books/studies of it.Ā 
But backtracking some to Rembrandt and Il Lee, I think itā€™s nice and comforting to hear artists talk or even just to see different kinds of art. Like a connection to another person and how youā€™re not alone in your thinking. I donā€™t know but... I felt a bit of comfort from watching that video. (Recently, sometimes been having problems with what to do with some backgrounds of the art ideas that come to mind/doodles. And life have been eh here and there). Il Leeā€™s artworks remind of some effects in manga (effects which I used to do for my art). As well as some kind of games and animations that I canā€™t quite recall the titles for. Cropped landscapes and moments/movements comes to mind too. šŸ’­
Thereā€™s also another video that showed a painting of Rembrandt, talking about the brushstrokes of the background and briefly mentions how he made his background to help viewers experience light in his paintings. (I mean, maybeĀ  sounds obvious, but some people donā€™t seem to consider backgrounds that much or the background is push all the way to the back of the artist/viewerā€™s mind.)Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā

Animal Crossing crossing (šŸ˜…) w/art museums, IKEA, and an encyclopedia. (short rambling)
Semi-short random rambling post. Wasnā€™t sure if I would post this (most are rather old news and had circulated around a bit already), but I just felt like it. Even as a kid, I have always love imagining creative crossovers or playing around and mixing things, such as mixed media or mixing ideas etc (including interactive media and interactive art). Particularly when fiction mix with the real world.Ā Ā 
Really awesome that the IKEA at Taiwan recreated one of their furniture catalog with an animal crossing screenshots version!Ā  šŸ˜
https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/08/ikea-creates-amazing-animal-crossing-new-horizons-themed-furniture-catalog/
Art museums including the MET and Getty allow players to find art from their collection to use in the game!Ā  šŸ¤©
https://experiments.getty.edu/ac-art-generator/
(Thatā€™s the Getty art generator tool. But you can use it to post any artworkā€™s urlĀ  from other museums. Thereā€™s a link to check if other museums use IIIF, which is the technology to share artworks online and able to make the QR code to scan the artworks. As noted on there, itā€™s best to check if other museums let you do this with their collection of art.)Ā  Ā 
šŸ˜€The Museo Nacional del Prado (or just Prado) created an island for players to tour and check out artworks of Francisco Goya, Diego VelĆ”zquez, and El Greco.
Ā And last of Animal CrossingĀ ā€œnewsā€. Thereā€™s going to be an encyclopedia for the insects, sea creatures, and fossils from the game. (Had wonder for some time if there would ever be something like this.) šŸ™‚Pretty cool, but only for Japan šŸ˜“ (thus far anyway).Ā

Beauty. Strength to find joy šŸ’–in life. (rambling + quote from Van Gogh)
Tumblr media
ā€œIt is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful. ā€œ -Vincent Van Gogh
I think this is actually an important quote (itā€™s from one of his letters) and to me, it could be seen as a remainder to take the time to observe whatā€™s beautiful. Van Gogh was comforted by painting, and he painted what he found beautiful (he loved flowers even as a child). Maybe even seen as encouragement to not be afraid of what others might say about what one might find beautiful (as long as itā€™s not knowingly and purposely taking part doing harm in any way).Ā 
The oleander flowers were supposedly something like strength to Van Gogh. And on the table is a book of Ɖmile Zola's La joie de vivre ( The Joy of LivingĀ ).Ā A novel that seems to be about contending with the struggles of life, but still having the strength to find the joys of life amidst those struggles (wonder how often he did this, particularly with books and art).Ā  Ā  Ā

Random ramble about Vincent Van Gogh (including a few facts) with Japan + Manga (šŸ’—šŸŒ»)
Tumblr media
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)
Yesterday, saw the google art and culture on manga. Has some interesting stuff to look through and read.
Silly thought, but I wonder how would Van Gogh feel about reading manga? And the art of it? He loved books and art. Plus Japanese prints had such a big influence on him. I would think ones that are focused more on human drama(particularly if the protagonist is an underdog) and if the art is based off from reality (in the sense that he could tell the artist drew from research/and the art is like lively/fluid), would maybe interest him? And maybe a manga set more in the wild or nature, would catch his fancy. He strongly supported drawing from direct observation, but he did started to draw more from imagination and noted that drawing from imagination looked more artistic to him (still reading more about all that). And his popular Starry Night is based off of imagination, memories, and direct observations (although apparently he tried to trash the painting).
I wonder how Van Gogh is looked upon in Japan before and now. (Random, Araki has drawn him before. Pretty neat. Although if search it up, could be spoilers for Jojo.) Ā 
Also! I noticed one of his sunflowers paintings was shown in the background of the Yakuza video game. It was random, not sure why that painting was in that place/scene (although Sunflower does hold something important to the Kiryu, the protagonist). Plus I didnā€™t watch Samurai Champloo but I know about the importance of the sunflower in it, and apparently after googling it, there is a link to Van Gogh. Ā 
It kinda feel like to me that šŸŒ» Ā = Vincent Van Gogh. In fact (from the Van Gogh Museum), he wanted to be known as the painter of sunflowers. His friends even brought sunflowers to his funeral.šŸ’• Sunflowers to Van Gogh was a symbol of gratitude. They gave him comfort.Ā 
Hope whoever read this, will have a joyful day and enjoy whatever nice moments, no matter how small. šŸ’“Ā

Very random fated (maybe bizarre ha) ramble on Araki (happy b-day!āœØ)
This is a nonsensical ramble post. Sometimes I encounter strange(?) coincidences. Simplest one that tends to happen from time to time is guessing the exact current time or when for whatever reason, I guess the correct time for when someone is coming over/coming back. Or without counting, many times, just grab the correct amount of utensils for everybody, including guests, who will be eating.
Anyway, all this inane rambling is just to lead up to say that I didnā€™t know today was Arakiā€™s birthday, until I suddenly was wondering about any news on him. Hadnā€™t checked up on what he had been doing for awhile. So itā€™s kind of neat (in my mind) that I happen to catch his B-day. Also thereā€™s a short new interview with him.Ā Ā https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdAeyBlIBY4
I like that he saidĀ ā€œThe aura of a good piece of artwork can be felt at first glance.ā€ The aura of an artwork is something that I already ponder quite a bit about. The rest of what he said; how anyone can be moved by it, understand it, and that itā€™s universal, are all something that I have sometimes look into. Like how much of (and what are) humansā€™ response towards viewing art/aesthetics are biological, and how does that work?Ā  Ā 
Itā€™s pretty funny to me, but when first learning more about Araki, it was mentioned that he likes American Illustrations (one of the interviews), and I was thinkingĀ ā€œoh really? Like who? Bob Peak?ā€ And what do you know? He did mentioned Bob Peak! (Was very into Peakā€™s more sketchy illustrations)Ā 
And before knowing about his existence, I always wonder what if poses of the characters/figures were more extravagant/dramatic and like fun in manga/illustrations, even if it doesnā€™t make sense. Strike a pose. This was long ago, and at that time, I just sort of dismissed it. Wasnā€™t aware of him (nor fashion illustrators)
Also itā€™s sort of old news, but quite interested in the JOJO tour guide book (just saw the news today). I have for some time, think it would be neat for that sort thing to happen. And today, I was thinking even more strongly about it, so seeing this news is quite cool!
Anyway, ending the ramble, I wish to see and listen/read more about Araki talking about artists that he likes including the nhk old master talks. Interesting that he apparently said Michelangelo seem to like drawing elbows.(this was like a while back watching it, so canā€™t quote exact)Ā  Ā Ā

Pantone + Rothko = good cry / mediation? šŸŽØāœØ Color psychological effects.
Tumblr media
Photo by insung yoon on Unsplash
Just a rambling from my tired mind.
-------------------------
Would it help me to have a good cry from seeing a Rothko painting face to face? šŸ˜„ Get trance by it, relax and in a way, get teleported elsewhere? šŸ’«
Apparently, some people have been struck by strong emotions from seeing an actual Rothko in the museum and even burst out crying. I think there are other paintings that can do the same, it just seems more people talk about crying/being awe in front of a Rothko.Ā 
Maybe because it only shows colors, people assume by looking at the reproductions, that that is all to it. Nothing amazing. Until they do get to see one hanging on the wall of a museum. šŸ–¼šŸŽØ
I sort of think the emotion is similar to being in different color rooms. I remember my parents saying a room painted in red looks gross and creepy to them.šŸŸ„ Also, well, might be a no brainer, but colors can have some psychological effects on us. How much and what effects, I think depends on the individuals.
Read that hospital rooms are usually neutrals, blues, and greens. šŸŸ¦ā¬œšŸŸ© The scrubs are commonly blue or green to be calming for patients. Like how common is it for people, even ones who donā€™t think about design choices including color, would paint a room in red for a baby? Iā€™m sure there are exceptions but wouldnā€™t most instinctively go for more ā€œcalmingā€ ā€œsoftā€ colors? So I donā€™t think itā€™s crazy to for people to have an emotional response to a Rothko, particularly because of the sizes of his paintings. Again though, I think color depends on the individual including where they come from.
Another thing, I remember watching a video where a lady mention how she would go see a Rothko and mediate in front of it for hours. šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø It calms her down and I guess, keeps her grounded. Iā€™m not good at mediating but I know some people use objects like crystals or necklace beads to help them mediate. And Iā€™m sure many other objects for other people, helps them in this. I also recently read some people using the artworks on tarot cards, to help them relax and mediate. Just simply flipping through their deck. I think itā€™s pretty neat.
It makes me also think of these Pantone Postcards. Do people feel better with flipping through those cards? I would think if someone buy it to send one to a loved one, the color would have a positive effect on that person? Curious, I went and found that there are Rothko postcards too. And there is even a tumblr blog that send a Rothko postcard to anyone who asks for it. Sounds neat. Ā 
Kind of funny to me that the red light is stop (in U.S.), but red can be seen as a color that promotes motion and energy. Get the heart rate up. Also can signal danger, so I guess thatā€™s why the stop light is red. But it makes me think of when thereā€™s a sign of danger, it signals a personā€™s fight or flight response too. Silly dumb thought, but imagine it weirdly makes a driver want to drive past the red light or turn around and drive away from the red light? šŸš—šŸ’Ø (Then again, life can be stranger than fiction, right?)
Anyway, colors arenā€™t just simply like blue = calm/sad. Thereā€™s a bit more to that. But need to read more up on that and I got to go. Got some ideas to put here but another time. šŸ‘‹Ā

Spoiled by art. šŸŒ āœØWish to see art all over again.āœØ & Art online.šŸ’»šŸ–¼ (random ramble #2)
A random ramble stemming from my recent want to visit some museums again. šŸ„ŗ Not an edited essay and not researched (just my view and recalling what I had read before šŸ“•šŸ’­).
-----------------
I think I have seen majority of famous paintings from looking at reproductions of them. šŸ’»šŸ“š I donā€™t think thatā€™s uncommon. Which is a shame because I think it would be a whole different experience to see them in person. (even better if they were seen in a way as intended to be view by the artist. But I would think itā€™s impossible for many famous paintings.šŸ’¦)Ā 
I actually wonder what was my earliest reactions to them... šŸ¤” (I think some of them might have been overwhelming to me as a child). Would be awesome to stumble upon and discover some of these famous paintings in person.āœØ Ā 
Iā€™m not sure where I read this... šŸ“– (I think I do recall the title of the book, but Iā€™m not certain. If anyone reads this and wants to know, just let me know. Lol. I will check it up another time.).. it was an essay about someoneā€™s experience in revisiting a painting several times at a museum. Very fond of looking at this particular painting. But the more they visit it (to not forget it), the more the magic of viewing this painting decreased.Ā 
It reminds me of many instances, when after looking at artworks online and some time passes, I start to have a desire to look at them again. šŸ’—šŸ–¼ My mind sometimes would conjure something āœØmagicalāœØ about them. Like there was something about the artwork that I canā€™t stop thinking about. Then when I do find it again (sometimes, I donā€™t save the link/image so I end up going on this long search to find it again.... Sometimes itā€™s because I canā€™t remember the artistā€™s username...), I end up thinkingĀ ā€œOh... that was not how I imagine it would look/I would feel about it.šŸ’¦ā€ Thus, sometimes after reuniting with some of these artworks, the magic from them seems to disappear for me. :/
I guess itā€™s sort of similar to being overhyped for something such as a game or movie then actually playing/watching it, you feel let down. Or maybe more similar to liking something or someone years ago, then coming back to it/the person, it goes from like to dislike or justĀ ā€œWhy did I liked this thing/person again??ā€ (although, yeah, could be your taste/view changes. But I think in some cases, it is/mostly because of the mind overhyping something/someone.)Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā

šŸ‘ā€šŸ—Øā“šŸ–¼ā€œI donā€™t understand art.ā€ But art is everywhere and part of life. (random ramble #1)
A random rambling spilling out from my mind. Not some kind of research nor is it an edited essay. Might later delete this. Just felt like posting it. Hopefully not a total incoherent mess if someone does read it. šŸ˜… Ā 
(Can skip to tl;dr at bottom):
-----------------------------------------------
So Iā€™m thinking of times when people say or post comments about how they donā€™t understand art and so / they donā€™t like art at all and maybe even hate it. Understandable to, of course, not be into visual art. But I think some of these people are only thinking of a small subset of the visual arts or not aware of the art they kind of already own or that surrounds them. (I actually saw the profile of one person who dislike art, but placed at least some importance on graphics in their video games. And another person who was into talking about anime. Both touching on visual art. Itā€™s part of the experience of anime and these video games, even if someone claims to not care about it. I would think it will have some sort of effect on the experience. And if art is part of it, why wouldnā€™t ā€œgoodā€ art add to a more positive experience. Just like how ā€œbadā€ art can maybe subconsciously lower a positive experience.)
Art makes up the world. (In this case, talking about visual art) Design is everywhere. If anyone ever brought anything based on the appearance/aesthetic of the item (maybe even an impulsive buying?), I can see them as appreciating art/being able to appreciate art. (although what is consider art can be a touchy subject or have strong divided opinions. Not getting into it here but I think visual art, to be simply defined, is something purposefully visually created. And created includes ā€˜framedā€™ too. Question is what is ā€œgoodā€ art, that depends on context. Also the monetary value is another topic too. But simply will say that I donā€™t agree on the crazy exorbitant price hype on many of them.šŸ’¦) This also includes buying anything for yourself like clothing, decor, simply buying food that looks/appear to be tasty, etc. There, ofc, can have other factors in this but sometimes the appearance can lure a person in or at least ā€˜fantasizeā€™ about it. Putting visuals among blank walls, cluster of plain gray box buildings, maybe even among many chunks of paragraphs (If done ā€œrightā€. Particularly textbooks. Can be simple/small graphics) etc, can be helpful/add to a positive experience.
Visual art such as paintings are part of culture (whatā€™s the specific word for this again...? The shared subconscious web of pop culture knowledge? šŸ¤”šŸ˜…) and can be seen as inspiration to many forms of storytelling/entertainment including films and Iā€™m sure, music videos. Not uncommon when creating something to start from the visuals, and/ also be inspired by visual art. This sort of inspiration can be a subconscious thing (again that word for something web of pop culture knowledge).
Visual art from cave painting to art of today; a lot of learning and inspiration from that. As well as part of influencing on how groups of people look at themselves and/view by other groups of people. Also possible influence on fashion and inspiration other than creating art (like seeing beautiful/cute things leading to desiring those things or a lifestyle with them. šŸ’— Like aesthetics showcase/share on the internet.āœØ) Ā 
And itā€™s not crazy to hear that someone was struck by the beauty of something like sunset in nature. Something like paintings can be the same or similar. Although yes, itā€™s not exactly the same but people can attach emotions to images (like art of fictional characters or photoshoot/drawings/paintings etc of famous celebrities that people like). Or being emotionally attach to or being uplifted by the appearance of an object. There could be other factors but I donā€™t think itā€™s unheard of someone having their spirit uplifted by images of cute animals or liking a celebrity, maybe mostly based/biased from their appearance. Maybe even liking a celebrity or fictional character because of who they are as a person, then possibly getting attach to or associating a physical trait of theirs to something like ā€œcoolā€. Adopting this liking/association (in this case, ā€œcoolā€) to that particular physical trait. Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā 
------------------------------------------------------------------
šŸ˜…šŸ’¦Really I guess the tl;dr for that whole rambling would be anyone can like or at least appreciate some visual art, if they have a positive response to something/someone based on the appearance. (And when I say positive response, Iā€™m including something like having a good cry too.) Even describing the appearance and having a positive response to that, could possibly mean being able to appreciate the visual arts (I would like to think so, although I havenā€™t read anything about that or done some kind of experiment on that. Would be interested in reading up on that.šŸ’”)
Problem is (from what I have seen and read) that there are some people who arenā€™t aware of how board the visual arts are, and even possibly how much visuals created by others, are surrounding/possibly influencing us. (Also unaware of the different styles, materials (even just in painting), themes, motifs, etc are out there. From a different time and different people from different cultures etc.)
And simply said, I donā€™t think people need to learn how to appreciate art. Reading up on the history and the story/background of the art can add to the understanding and appreciation of it. Or view it in another way/ learn to see it in another way/different perspective. But I say, there are some people out there (I like to think most people) already have some appreciation of art/find something visually appealing, and maybe can find an artwork or artist that resonate or appeal to them. (I like to think there is at least one out there. Or a few actually. Just have to search.)
Well, think thatā€™s all. Actually, I could go on, but I wonā€™t. Lol. Got to go. This took a chunk of my time. Hope this all makes at least somewhat sense. Itā€™s just something that I quite often kept thinking about, more and more during recent times. (I have other art ramblings, but not sure if posting those now/soon.) Ā 
Past few days, I havenā€™t been able to watch or read anything art related. Maybe some time soon, if something from it strikes my fancy, I will talk about what I read/watch. šŸ“ššŸ“– Ā  Ā

Looking to follow some blogs.šŸ’•šŸ’Œ(Also sort of intro for mine.)
Most likely Iā€™ll search and browse around the tags for some blogs another time. But for now, I guess maybe I should do a quick (sort of) intro? Also, I want to check out any blogs that are to my interests.
Would like to post some of my art here and maybe some ā€œgamesā€ or ā€œinteractiveā€ media that Iā€™m thinking of making. But Iā€™m also thinking of posting any art related ramblings too. šŸ¤” (got to set up my blog but I think for now, it might be just ramblings)
So my interests ā¤ mainly consist of:
- Art and design of all kinds (Iā€™m mainly a visual person šŸŽØ. Can be illustration, graphic design, sculpture, papercraft/paper engineering, sewing, etc.) ::
- surreal/dreamlike/magic realism etc. (particularly landscapes)
-sometimes just beautiful aesthetics or cute design/characters
- dynamic bold or colorful funĀ  (including art of something like streetwear and haute fashion)Ā Ā 
- more impressionistic and Iā€™m okay with abstractĀ 
-doesnā€™t matter if anime/manga or not.Ā 
-interactive art/media (whether with itself or the idea. I would include something like optical illusions/op art in this too.)
-different forms of storytelling šŸ“š (Would be interested in checking out/reading some peopleā€™s stories, if the story is of interest to me. Also depends on time.) ::
- horror but nothing too graphic. (Junji Ito and Twilight zone are cool)
- thrillers/psychological. Some drama and mystery. Maybe some elements of science fiction.Ā 
- books Ā (currently, just reading random short stories and essays/non-fiction. Particularly essays/non-fiction on anything art related. Also just unusual books too.)
-prefer mostly older characters like at least over 18
- fandoms: JJBA, Yakuza, and Ace Attorney. Also some of Elementary and Blue Period. A bit of Peaky Blinders, Dorohedoro, and Vtm. Random few horror games. I think thatā€™s all. (fanfictions are good)
-others ::
-games (mainly visual novels or choice narrative games. Some interest in tabletop roleplaying, more so, solo.)
- natureĀ Ā 
- documentaries (mainly art related. Art history.)Ā 
- cognitive psychologyĀ 
- some mental health
- some manga (fewer anime)Ā 
- some language/linguistics
- some food science/cooking meals (particularly on budget šŸ˜…)Ā  Ā 
And I think thatā€™s all....
