Today I learned
that while all the so called social platforms go downhill, there's a rising indie web movement where people start creating their own space again and I'm so here for it!
I don't know where the past years went
I fell into a two-year creative block, followed by pushing out of it so hard that mental and physical burnout hit me in july. I kept making art while barely functioning otherwise and now... now I finally feel like a lot of things in my life fall into place again. A good point to rethink my online activities, my relationship with art and where the internet is actually still enjoyable.Lackadaisy bedtime reread
Through Youtube I discovered that there is a crowdfunded indie animation adapation of this amazing old webcomic set in 1920s America during prohibition but the characters are all cats.Here is the webcomic if you don't know it. Sadly there's only the pilot so far but they are working on a first season. In the meantime I'm rereading!
Some new creative endeavors:
Talking about animation and comics, I started learning animation basics with a run cycle in july and enjoy drawing and thinking about my Original Characters a lot. Might post some comic pages one day. We'll see :-)Here's to finding balance, making art, finding smaller, more indipendent spaces and embracing the little things in life again that still exist but often get lost in the mess!
