An Icon is Dead
rest in peace david lynch your art changed my life and i think about you all the time, your work means the world to an artist like me. i want to be like you, i hope to follow in your footsteps and be a great artist that challenges everyone like you did. if you havent seen any david lynch movies, you should. he made elephant man, blue velvet, mulholland drive, twin peaks & twin peaks fire walk with me, eraser head... he's a weird guy, his films are dreamy and surreal and beautiful, i wish he had made more before he passed. its up to the rest of us artists to carry on his legacy and keep changing the world!

im so website
i've gotten over the learning curve of taking my time and slowly uploading all my art. i havent been tkaing the time to do it bc its such a daunting task and i wasnt sure where to start. i think its okay to put it all in a random order, and not have to worry about adding size and date details bc that really slows me down. i'm sort of doing it in backwards chronological order, but i'm labeling everything by year so you know what to look for. its especcially daunting because after i supload my 1,000+ digital drawings, i still have my sketchbooks to upload, and my paintings and traditional drawings, and my prints. i wanted to start uploading way sooner for you all, that's the point of this website after all, but its a lot of pressure when there's so much to share and i didn't know the best way to present it. i think the way i have it now is convenient for everyone. i just want everything to be as easy to navigate as possible, and i want to people not to get lost or confused. ranfren's site is pretty confusing and easy to get lost, and i'm using the same techniques he is, but i'm trying to take advantage of it to force you to explore everything. it's a very selfish art form, though i suppose all art is selfish.
this coffee is hurting my stomach

missing creating
im reading a story about this old school animator and it's really making me realize how much i want to animate. he made this film almost entirely by himself because no one wanted to fund it. this is a process i've never seen before- tedious, tiring, difficult, almost not worth the effort. but that was the passion and perfectionism that goes into animation. i often want to make comic books because i think i have to start with a simpler form of storytelling before i'm "allowed" to make an animated film but hey... i animated a film all by myself in 5 months before i ever made a comic book. and i much prefer animation- it's the way i imagine my stories as finished products, and comics only as first drafts for what will eventually become an animation. i have a lot of ideas, i want to try to make something soon. i still have a comic book i'm going to finish, but from now on i'm going to focus on films.

occam's razor
what’s that saying? the simplest answer is usually the best one? i find that to be true in most aspects of life. it will take me months, years often, to come to a conclusion that should have been obvious from the very beginning. i didn’t think of being an animator until my final year in highschool, while everyone else around me knew i was going to be one since the day they met me.
all this to say i feel like i finally understand what direction i want to go in for my Ghoul story. i’ve been rattling my brain trying to come up with what makes Ghoul special, and i’ve been grasping at things that were never a part of their character in the first place!!! but what Occam’s razor or whatever told me is that what makes Ghoul special is: They’re a stalker. that’s the story i’ve always wanted to tell, that’s what i have experience with, and that’s the kind fo love story i relate to and want to read myself. i know... a lot about stalkers... my final project at animation school was even about stalking! Currently thinking about the title “They Were a Good Ghoul” after the song by Campfire Stalker (which i actually first heard as a remix by Pisca). but yeah… now i can stop trying to come up with plots where Ghoul is a science experiment brought back from the dead and they came back wrong. that’s the whole idea, that’s what i want you to think it is. but they’re not even a monster at all, they’re just a creepy human and what makes them so special that i’d tell you a story about them is that they’re a good stalker. sorry if it seems silly… it’s always exciting when i make one of these ridiculous breakthroughs. it took so long but i knew it would come to me!
