Upcoming projects are kinda in the air currently...
not sure what I will be doing next, as things are in suspended animation for now.
work has dried up and nothing is calling from the real world for my art.
...Been off drawing for a while,
some medical stuff been going on, and family stuff...
Will elaborate further in time.
On the plus side, generally things are good.
...ish.
Recently I have been re-thinking my artistic approach... again.
I guess its part of artist's block for some, but for me the flow of ideas seems to have kinda dried up recently.
i think it's to do with the previously mentioned medical stuff.
Its not that the ideas aren't there, its rather that i just cant be happy with the direction they will go.
It's like I can see a direction i wanna go in, but cant put it into a straight forward enough place for me to draw them.
so rethinking things over, and adding to drawings i started years ago to keep my hand in...but im not really enjoying it.
Not sure what i do about that. Art used to be a way of life for me, but this past week or so, it just seems a hassle.
I guess the old adaj is true;
Nothing lasts. Everything is transient and ever-changing,
Everything is nothing, and all is one.
Quite the conundrum.
I imagine this will be like last time, and I'll come out on top. but things just get way too deep for me to even give my care to such trivial things as drawing. (never thought i would say that, but hey times change)
~I wish that life was straightforward and that we didnt have to contend with being such weak creatures racially.
...and of course, no matter how ill i may be, the groups i run gotta keep running, or i get irate messages from group members;
like "oh i didnt realise you had stuff to do other than ok my submissions - why did you start a group then?"
because i wasnt effing ill then. i had support from other co-founders in previous years.
now im on my own okaying submissions,
and neither art nor internet are the most important thing to my continued existence.
..and it really could be that serious.
Stay safe, artists of the world. Promise i will be back to upload more in the coming weeks.
love and peace be upon you all.
have a beautiful day.

AI and art
So recently here on DA there have been loads of images being uploaded by people using AI to generate the images for them. This isnt cool, guys, and its not your art. Its been created by something other than you and your own talents and in effect you're just riding the coat taols of success of the creators of rhe AI program. There. Im done
Life is All Kinds of Crazy
So. A heck of a lot has been happening in my life for quite some time, meaning I havent been able to get online anywhere near as much as i once did. And this on top of lockdown too - home schooling and full time dadding has pretty much been my life for quite some time. BUT I have been drawing like a man possessed, and will have many uploads coming in the near future. I have headed in a new and strange direction again.... so watch this space, my friends. The thing is, I have just gotten a new computer, and its taking my tech-less mind a little while to get to grips with it. windows 10 is a whole new ball game, and the pc itself is taking some getting used to. I mean, i didn't even know what "steam" is until recently. I just have to get it hooked up to my scanner now - wait, where did i put that again...? So. I'll be back on here again soon, uploading some new stuff. peace out, fellow comrades! Hope you all have a wonderful day, ~Simon
MODERN LIFE - crisis vs opportunity
Just a thought from a fellow artist here as coronavirus becomes a very real issue for all of us.
The shops are emptying, the schools are shutting. people need to practice a new level of care when being in public.
BUT
-and this is important-
We will pull through this like we always have, throughout history.
world wars, bubonic plague...
panicking will not help.
vigilance and care will.
and while we are all being distant from each other physically, the interwebs gives us a beautiful opportunity to still be close to each other. we can still share what we do on our own in our homes -
our art, and in essence our spirit, our message to t
When it rains, it pours...
So i have once again had a period of absence.
this has had a major knock-on effect for my groups, where submissions are ebbing.
for this, i am sorry guys.
But when it rains, dont it just bloody pour it down?
after losing my step-father-in-law back in September,
I then did my back in AGAIN, which left me near crippled for December.
:smoking:
...And then my partner's actual dad passed away.
we had become really good friends over the years, and it would have been a heavy blow anyway...
but in some weird caprice of fate I had to be the one to find him, after what happened in September.
BUT
I am drawing again - the new year has galvanized m
