I've been itching to release my video project for a while now! But, not just yet... In this I'll be covering a few areas that I personally feel need addressing.. Instead of a spread sheet or google based document, I will be presenting it via video and it won't be on youtube. So at least you'll know beforehand - why not yt? -I don't want to feed Ai or contribute to your precious algorithm. I don't need or want it - However, it's time I did a vlog on a few subjects: - Online drama from being a Mario artist and also the many debates on assumptions/accusations. - Supporting people who are shunned from society. - Having the inner strength to discuss more personal experiences. - Dealing with people who just feed on hatred assumptions, rumours and wrong information. - The individual struggles with finding peace for oneself over others dramatic and negative morals/toxic traits. - Standing up for myself and others who might want to have a voice, rather than being judged and belittled.
Peach and Mario traditional & mixed media piece I did in 2010. Mario is obviously standing on a stool...or something 😆 The original can be found on my dA page, link in my bio.
Mario is excited to see what Santa brought this year! 👀
Long time in the making: I am looking in to streaming this year, most likely during winter as it's a good opportunity to stay indoors doing art. I've been 'avoiding' it because I have anxiety, a tendency to over think and riddled with insecurities 🙃 so presenting myself is bit daunting. However, I'm willing to overcome my personal problems to try and give something back to the fans and fellow artists, there's hundreds of FAQs I'd like to respond to, so many asking for advice etc, it all brings me joy because I also want to share my knowledge to build new appreciations for new gen artists. The REAL ones not using Ai. So yeah, that's pretty much it! I know it's been a long time but I really want to do this and I'd love to hear your advice, support and wisdom with Streaming tips too.
I'll probably colour in later :)
