A rant, but I despise the phrase “I could do that” in relation to art - often when it comes to modern/postmodern art. Aside from it being rude it’s also a non-criticism. If you could do it then you otherwise would’ve done it - virtually nothing is stopping you from replicating a work of art.

Wanna be smart? Apply metacognition and scientific method to your daily life (aka being wrong without crashing out). If you think being wrong about things is existential, then you're just an overevolved troglodyte that neurally misfires mild disagreements with sabertooths.

Unidonk. More digital charcoal - just because I'm having so much fun with it.

But yeah, you can't have the brightest minds in STEM to thrive when they don't have access to: -Psilocybin -Weed -Fad diets -Freedom to shit on religious & political institutions -Oatmilk -Fucked up nerd polycule orgies This is also why "The Next Silicon Valley" often fails.

Sometimes we need to have this conversation on how we approach art: Do we see art as something that needs to appeal to as many people as possible, breaks metrics, like content? Because I believe art should be raw, intimate, pure, & resonant to both the artist and the audience.

I'm just saying, PCs and computers should have beige options. Tired of either having to choose black or piano white, or an RGB transformers abomination. I want my computers to look like retro-futuristic 90s beige.

tem travels (europe first time)

Recently watched the “Titan” documentary on the OceanGate sub, which more focused on the corporate side instead of the tragedy itself - a side that I didn’t know of as much. Watching it felt like seeing a tale of hubris slowly unraveling towards its inevitable conclusion.

When you start comparing yourself to others, you stop creating. You become a slave to perfectionism, chasing the dragon’s tail. And when the passion fades, all that remains is pain. And to survive that pain, you sharpen it. Turn it into venom. You start tearing others down.

Bringing back this old classic I've had saved for a long while now.

Blue Rage

Doomscrolling and ragebait hyperactivate the amygdala and altering the dopamine reward system only for responding to perceived threats. It also dampens medial prefrontal cortex, temporal-parietal junction, & mirror neuron systems—all essential for perspective-taking and empathy.

In short, we're all dope fiends in the most literal sense, but realizing the problem is the first step of healing. You're not broken. You're just overstimulated. At least that's what my therapist said.

But yeah I'm always an advocate for indie/DIY artists, especially now that everything's algo driven and studios are hoarding IPs like dragons hoarding gold. Even if your artwork is critically panned or being a flop, you'd still done more than the vast majority of us.

Been writing a draft of a novel for myself and close friends over the past year, probably gonna release it once I can afford an editor. Spent years finessing Worldbuilding and honestly, felt a bit proud of it.

Hey there, it's me! That one knight in armour at the pride event you went to! Hi! #pride #canterburypride #canterbury #pride2024

It's possible that Grammarly has lost it's damn freaking mind. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

but yeah they're supposed to be somewhere between elves and beast folks like thundercats... but Lemurs instead of cats. because I like to move it move it.

the hidden passage

Upgrades, people. UPGRADES! (but yeah jokes aside, I think my artstyle improved just a little bit. but yeah I decided to make a novel out of these two princes)

My theory is that because AI is a new technology with a very small window to be accepted by the public, and AI companies tend to be run by soulless Silicon Valley type psychopaths, they rush out marketing like this that has the subtlety and cruelty of a hammer to your legs. It’s all they can do.

Some loredrop for my upcoming fantasy novel. Let me cook.

Been having fun writing characters for my novel... so yeah here's a wildcard of the party. A mysterious Farlander from Porto Bene, Dante Patricelli da Florentino.

I wanna learn Sanskrit just because of my Worldbuilding project as well as rekindling with my ancestral culture. Iha sariputra Rupam sunyata, sunyataiva rupam

Broke boy More commission work

The world was a lot more peaceful when there was a level of technical layer to keep normies away from the internet. It wasn't the smartphone revolution, but it was normie's inability to weed out junk information, and how social media algorithm favors negative reactions.
