I really should be posting more here, but what can you do? I remember when I used to crank out a painting in 3 hours, twice a week, now I average like a painting every 4 months. Hopefully next year I'll be able to do more paintings, but life tends to happen. And that's a good thing! Life gets in the way, and it influences me. Life dragging me through the mud? I paint something that brings me comfort. Life really good? I paint in bright colors. Some paintings I don't finish, like I was working on one based on Nekoosa, but it became difficult because it was a big painting and life got in the way, so eventually I scrapped the project and made Wilson instead. I wish life would revolve around my hobby, but instead my art revolves around my life. I am fortunate enough to find time to paint. I know some people loves are booked. Because my paintings can take months to do, for me they trap chunks of time for me to look at and remember. You might see frogs, but I see the 3 days where I felt amazing and bright. I use a computer to assist me, not AI, but my paintings are the most human thing about me! See you guys in 2026, and if I don't, I'm out living a life!
