er, ah... uhm... allow me to elaborate.

Wed May 2, 2007, 6:41 PM
Ok first of all, when I said that I had nothing left to offer to the online art community, I did not mean that I was no longer going to create art at all.

I simply feel that I can't keep up-- everyone else makes such amazing digital masterpieces and is so quick and with it with loads and loads of talent and its just.. so.. amazing.. intimidating.
I love my art; creating it is something I do almost involuntarily.
But I feel so.. small.. compared to the thousands of other amazing artists on the interwebs.
I feel like "Why look at MY art when you could look at this person's art which is ten thousand billion million times more incredible??"
But I digress.

I also feel that.. well. Ok. I *don't* feel anything. And that is the problem.
Remember the day that you realized that you weren't as into playing with your barbies and/or toys as you once were?
I remember that day very clearly. I remember distinctly how suddenly, adamantly, and completely my desire to "play" disappeared. It was confusing for a little while.. but I eventually found other things to occupy my free time with.

The same thing happened with uploading art to internets; its just not something that I have any passion for anymore. :(

Also, I wrote that entry this morning when I was in a bit of a weird place, emotionally.
There's been some "stuff" going on in my life, but again, I digress.
I feel a lot better, now, and sort of embarrassed for making such a dramatic announcement n n; *der*

So, okay. You.. convinced me, I guess?
I'll "stay", although.. I don't really have anything to upload, and I'm not sure if or when I will again :p

But, thanks to everyone who responded to my last entry.
Sorry for uh... doing that thing .. that people sometimes do.. with the "i am leaving the internets goodbye forevers!! 8 8" shenanigans.

But my statement still stands that you're all amazing and wonderful and I hope you nothing but hearts, stars, and horse shoes, clovers and blue moons.

it's my birthday, 2003, waiting for a call from my family. they forgot about me. the day after my birthday is not my birthday mom.
:iconhazerever:
for some weird reason, even if you don't even upload again, you saying you're staying anyway makes me feel better? It makes no sense, I guess...

but I do admire your art so much, that I'll look forward if you do show more art!

I remember that day for me too... its becoming that way for everything that has to deal with the internet... *sigh*

I know where you are coming from but I am glad you will still be around on here. It would have been sad to see you go.

What is essential in life, is invisible to the eyes and only seen be the heart.
:iconprolificvomiting:
The reason people look at art isn't just for technical skill, but also for the HEART that the artist puts into their work. Every one of us could say, "Ohh, i'm not as good as so-in-so." or, "You see that Hyung-taekim guy? What's the point in me doin this mud puddle shit when that guy's an ocean?" The reason people enjoy your art isn't just because of technical skill, but because of the soul you put into it. There's no one else in the vastness of the internets who can do that thing like you do. Everyone brings their own ideas and feelings into their work.

As far as the drive to do it, the passion? If you don't feel the same way about it as you once did, if it's not something you're happy with 24/7 then you shouldn't feel pressured to do it. Do whatever makes you happy.

...but don't ever say your art doesn't have WORTH! It is magical and relevant and special so stfu!

Also, I hope life "stuff" cleas up yo. <3

Luigi, don't be a hero!!!
:iconbubblescum:
Thank god I'm not the only person that feels like that :/
I usually get all nervous and then delete everything...thus my empty gallery.
:iconzirio:
That's...actually a really familiar feeling. It makes me wonder if I should just call my art a hobby, since that seems to be what it is compaired to so many other people who make such awesome work. D:

Hearts and stars and sparkles to you, too!
