Dread Spiral is a redo of this piece from a few years ago. I'd say it's a big improvement. Maybe I'll do it again in a few more years. I just think improvement is so optimistic for me to see and show yall.

Been thinking more and more about updating my InPrnt shop again.... and just letting it (maybe) make me some money.... But then I realize I made like no money before and I use CSP now and dont think I can easily check what my big pieces look like in CMKY...

True true. And thats where I do get a lot of info. Sadly my local paper has just become propaganda for businesses in recent years but the capital's news paper has stuff. Tho this is a good reminder for me I should probably check the papers of the two bigger cities near me.

When they make that new change to Twitter I'll probably stop going there completely. I could still kinda get some news there, some art there, and fire news.... but like the site has just become so hard to use and clunky. Where do people get there news? Like not a fan of whatever CNN has become....

WIP I love that I tried to do a slightly different color pallette and yall were like 'no! do the thing' lol I just do pinks and purples so damn well, I get it, I'm damn good at that. This was the colors that felt more 80s and Patrick Nagel tho... On to coloring.

Being really annoying is praxis. Phone, email, fax, show up in person if that’s an option. Just don’t let up until you’re too irritating to ignore.

Like I see a few things in my tl for 'be cringe' and like I'd be so much of a better, more creative artist if like I'd embraced that when I was young. If my art teachers had actively encouraged it of the students instead of trying to squash that aspect. I wouldn't have wasted some much time.
