Thank YOU for such incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful images! I'm extremely grateful to Real-Neil for introducing me to your work! I wish I had more time to enjoy art and conversation on here. I love to take my time drinking in an image, like I used to, giving it the time to speak in all its emotion, colors, curves, and contacts, then translating what I heard, saw, and felt into a detailed comment. gb62da probably has some of my best articulations from when I was free to become fully immersed in art, back before the world started going to hell, with all the hatred and xenophobic nationalism. Now I'm too busy trying to organize people to peacefully communicate before we break out into a global civil war. I think I need to return to art, simply for my sanity!Β

Thanks a lot for your interesting words. Seems that you're thinking a lot about our times. I have much worries and fears too. But I work on my art to find some peace in me and with others

And btw, I'm loving the classic Tennant-as-Benedick grin as your profile shot.

I'm impressed that you're able to be so prolific, and both keep it up and keep it together. I've been trying to do some writing, but I always get stuck at the plot points stage. I'll have my plot point with a nice little "what the story's about" blurb, but when it comes to fleshing it out with dialogue and whatnot, I got nothing.

I am new to the field but from what I hear, writing is the way to actually writing, if that makes sense.
Write about your day, write what you want to do later, in a week. Write about things you hate. Eventually, out of nowhere, whole phrases will start popping up in your head about your main work. Hope this helps

Thank YOU so much for drawing a picture just for me. But more so, thank you for your work. It really is very beautiful and deeply soul stirring. I very much enjoy your portraits.
