You ever look at someone and wish there was a person inside?

Today I woke up very aware of time and the fleeting nature of most things (good or bad).
So many things I usually overlook are glaring at me like headlights noticed a split-second too late.
And in the center of it all … an all-too-familiar song.

*the rest of the world
everybody likes to use our culture to get famous or get street cred or make it big but they hate us
and we just give it away
sharing is one thing but we're constantly exploited and profited off of with no get back
from music to style to slang it's all the same.

I just saw Gobelins’ “Niccolo.”
I was held utterly in thrall.
I’m a complete sucker for symbolism.

The creation of art is inherently vulnerable. To create is to expose the parts of yourself that people rarely get to see, even when the piece is not deliberately personal.

Simplifying (stylizing) and animating locs by hand (no computer models, particles, automated physics systems, or AI — just drawing) is a very interesting experience.
I’ve found it surprisingly intuitive. I’ll have to do it more often.

I’ve been a bit cloistered. Had some big things to process and that gave way to an inspired, obsessive period of drawing.
How about you?

I’ve officially got artistic tunnel vision. Everything else is kind of blurry and muffled in the background. It’s kind of like being under water.

I want more illustrator friends. I had many peers who liked to draw when I was little, but I rarely encounter illustrators & graphic designers in my adult life (I guess we’re all inside drawing 😅).
I cross paths with musicians & writers in spades. I guess ppl are more likely to grow out of drawing.

Better that the heart should hurt for that which reaches back in earnest, my Dear Friend.

It’s apparently OK to shoot unarmed people who definitely don’t want to be shot. But consensual sex is where many see fit to draw a hard line.
It doesn’t make sense because making sense was never the point.

I think that one was about how a lot of us cut our hair so short (think Black Caesars, Fades) due to an inability to accept our own hair textures. Pretty sure it started because of a video a young woman posted wherein she addressed men who tried to dogpile her in the comments of a different video.

My condolences to you and your family, Man. I know that words mean very little in these situations, but I do commiserate with you.
