Not so blind revelation
This isn't a long one, just one I've come to a conclusion on after working for the last two years to find some sort of stability with everything kind of coming to a head recently. I couldn't seem to get a handle on things and just living on crumbs. Really dumb to come to this conclusion this late in the game but better late than never.

Making new posters and thinking about working on the house. The best work is about other people I think, at least at this point.

Later Never Comes
If there is one thing I've learned, it's that we give ourselves the comfort we need but like anything, too much of that will drown you. I've lived in the same place for about three years now, I moved back in with my Grandmother at my childhood home to pay off some bills and to help her around the house with repairs.

Something is fundamentally lost when the gap between knowing and understanding cannot be bridged by time and reflection alone.

Running a test, of course, because who doesn't have a blog these days?

A Veritable Lack
There is nothing quite like the first taste of mushrooms to start off a new year. These guys are known for their Truffle like rarity and rich earthy flavor. I love them, anyone with half a taste-bud typically will too. But as the years go on, the flavor leaves a little something to be desired. Maybe it's the region is wearing on me again, it's very isolating to be doing the wrong job in the wrong town with the wrong people around.

Once again, I am here to remind you. If it's the final season "part 1" it's not the final season. It's a marketing ploy to make you feel desperate to watch it.

Yeah of course it's not okay to rip someone off. But you can't say that a skull with Mushrooms in it is an original idea, I was drawing stuff like that 15-16 years ago. If they straight up stole someones work (like a few of paintings that ended up on redbubble without my permission) fuck'em.

How to work rather than why, what's the benefit of spending a day in the studio sharpening pencils?

one of my author friends and I were talking about publishing books. He's working on his second and just got picked up by a major distributor. So his advice makes a lot of sense in a lot of places, "it's easiest to sell a book, if you have a book." It sounds simple but he's right.
