The art looks like Groucho Marx turning into the Shaggy Dog :)
Been thinking about vanishing forever.
Hopefully you won't... I think Dreemport is doing a good thing with encouraging people to actually consume, and I also have a feeling that's just the beginning.
I can see Threads helping, once the spam stops...
As for not writing about Hive, it will be good to see more of your artwork, and I'm glad you won't be stressing yourself :)
Groucho Marx turning into the Shaggy Dog... lol that's an interesting one and that's not something that makes sense to me. I had to google to see what you're talking about. Yeah okay, I see it!
I don't plan to vanish forever. Simply placing way more focus on my own work and just going with the flow. Avoiding local issues that just turn out to be distractions in the end. If I say the word "consumers" one more time, my head will explode.
That's the only way you can hope to grow as an artist (and keep your sanity). Back when my forum team was fairly large and we gave newcomers a chance, it fell to me to sort things if people didn't agree. Sometimes I just wanted to disappear too 🤣 Of course I didn't and am glad, but if I wasn't in charge of it I would have!
I'm always outspoken when something is directly interfering with me or what's mine. One of those it's a gift and a curse deals.
Early on when I started I borrowed elements from wrestling and invented The Writer/Artist Himself. Meant to be performance art of course, and the plan was to stay in character the whole time. Unfortunately attempting that while maintaining my sanity was next to impossible LOL!
Not to mention pretty much impossible if you want to have a serious conversation???
Which wrestlers are your favorites?
That's what killed it was the fact I needed to be myself. I'll still write in that character though, for fun. I created a few over the years. One was called This Man, which again was borrowed elements from wrestling. That Guy was This Man's arch nemesis. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
And I don't really have favorite wrestlers these days. Thought Hogan and Sting were cool growing up. Enjoyed CM Punk for a while there but haven't watched much wrestling this past decade at all really.
Hogan and Sting were great - Hogan leading the nWo was just awesome :) ... Remember when they kept making bigger entrances each Monday, and the crowd legitimately hated them for being heels?
Maybe we need an efed on here...
90's was when I watched the most and yeah, can recall a lot from those days. I remember seeing Randy Savage get bit by the snake. Ultimate Warrior being stuck in a coffin. All kinds of zany shit from my childhood. Robocop busting Sting out of a cage.
