Big video time! I want to muse about the idea of the "world map" of learning to draw. Where do you start, where do you go? Plus: cool new website in progress, and a Discord server! ⏯️ youtu.be/pPu_eSNeuwA #kanjonsclips #artist #learntodraw

it's happening: kanjon.link/discord 🔞 this is an 18+ but SFW discord server. see video stuff, share art, chat with other creatures. you'll hear a little about why I'm doing this now in an upcoming video, but also people have been asking for this for literal years and I'm finally caving haha.

Another goodie for the day: May's remixed art calendar is up! Grab yours for drawing ideas: kanjon.link/calendar

the other day I was finishing up a submission for the Furality showcase, and went scrubbing through last year's reel to check some things. and I remembered @changa.gay's amazing production of Lonely Dancers. if you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat.

kinda think-out-loud thread: for reasons (you'll see in next video) I need a Space for collaboration. I don't necessarily intend on creating a *community* for those reasons, but I have pondered making a community for Kanjon Things in general. but, I understand fatigue of being in too many places.

part of being an adult is realizing I can go onto VRChat whenever I want oh fuck

finished recording a Short there is a Long coming soon too, I promise, but I've been waffling on how to approach this one a good bit. soon!

me riding my other electric vehicle while my ioniq waits for a new ICCU

occasionally I giggle about how weirdly combative people get when I mention that I shop at the original Costco location in Seattle/SODO yes I know it’s called Kirkland Signature yes I know the HQ is in Issaquah and yet the original location is neither

no context

WE GOT HONORABLE MENTION!!!!!

if there was more substance to the story I would make a short about how my car killed itself and tried to take my whole house’s electrical system with it

now that my jimmies are sufficiently rustled, I am grabbing a beer, my sketchbook, and a TV show. todays plans involved Driving but now that is not happening for some time

joined the Dead ICCU Hyundai Club after my ioniq5 knocked out my whole house’s power while charging. managed to pull it out to the street this morning while it screamed about electrical system failures

another Friend! another little Guy!

[am ok, don't panic] so yesterday was an adventure. the day before I had taken adhd meds, felt fine, but yesterday out of the blue my heart started doing fucky things. not knowing what a heat attack felt like (it wasn't that), called emergency services. they confirmed afib and took me to hospital.

Literally every online art guide ever: "Strokes should ALWAYS start thick and get progressively thinner towards the edge/corner! Otherwise your art will look weird and unnatural!!" Me, making "weird and unnatural" art since ever:

might finally binge Outer Wilds… been on my list forever and I have somehow managed to avoid spoilers. why not

back from LVFC! had a blast, it was wonderful to meet so many people and hang out with awesome friends. it’s got me in a creative mood this evening and I’m tinkering with my badge design once more. for various reasons 608 ball bearings are involved

Once again I have returned to the Macro/Micro meet up #LVFC w/ @kanjon.art and @suff.bsky.social

So yea, I kinda hanged with these goobers a lot at #LVFC @kanjon.art @suff.bsky.social

Trying a new hobby (like art? of course!) sometimes feels like a massive leap to start or resume. How do you actually convince yourself to begin? How do you plan to stick with it? ⏯️ youtu.be/qbFvXhWFYYg #kanjonsclips #artist #learntodraw

stuff all filmed, sitting down for a nice chill editing evening. videos very very soon!

decided to try a recording workflow where I just leave the mic recording and cut takes out after. which is way easier than start-stop, start-stop, on each take trying to get the "good" one before proceeding. in hindsight... yeah. this might seem obvious to someone doing pro recording haha.

feh! was wanting to work on video script today but am in need of a nap first, at least. body decided that 3am was time-to-get-up-time for some reason and I'm just sleeebbgly

I made some new syrups and beverages for the Burrow! Come try them out! 🧡☕️

Big things have been happening on the VR Filmmaking side of things! Dare I say it's... 🌌GALACTIC🌌 with @kanjon.art @dodgerakame.bsky.social @searing.bsky.social @maglot.bsky.social and myself

I know it's been A Moment but I've been letting some ideas simmer for videos. one just jumped up to the top of my head today and I think it'll be a good one. theme: general motivation / creativity, sprinkled with optimism.

current activity: making a 3D print mount for my feet trackers to go onto crocs, specifically figment crocs

Finding your motivation in art can be a rewarding experience. But getting there, struggling through the practice, fitting the time in... it's another story. Let's hear about folks' questions and puzzles in this 30 minute (!) Q&A! ⏯️ youtu.be/_6U98HqNUCc #kanjonsclips #artist #learntodraw

Q&A overflow just for you youtube.com/shorts/Ycc19... god bluesky kills shorts thumbnails

premiere was fun! quite a few folks watching and hanging out in chat. won't do this for every video, but will definitely do it again. for now, I get to make a shitpost short. my junk food

Q&A should be up tomorrow! finishing final edits in the morning. it's uh. 34 minutes long

This one took ~42 hours
