Process video - 6 hours in 30secs
I was trying to feel the environment in the first sketches, until I finalised the idea. The environment involves a bit of photo bashing. Enjoy! 😊

I did the staircase thing also in the mid 90s to annoy my parents. I was turning the TV off. I thought it was hilarious 😂 they didn't enjoy it that much. Thankfully I didn't hurt myself but now thinking back, the same could have happened to me. These TVs were working like donkeys! Made to last

I have seen YT videos about this. That was a really good course! What I'll be doing is more broad I believe as the focus is to be able to enter into the majority of the industry as a generalist. I guess we'll see at the end of 2 year course.
I think the FZD closed its doors. I don't think they are taking anymore students onboard. You got in the right time 🚀

It's called SAE. How was your experience btw? Similar degree/course or something completely different?

2024-09-08 17:07:23

In less than 2 weeks I'm starting a university course 🫣
I love art, this is very obvious... What I'll be doing though will push me out of my comfort zone for sure!
I'll be studying Game Art and Animation
What does that include? Hmm.. a bit of everything, I guess?
Fundamentals of 2D (I'm at a good level with that)
Fundamentals of 3D (I'm clueless!)
Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine 🤯
Just wish me good luck and an engaging tutor! Being a mature student is a blessing, not a disadvantage.

Have you ever heard of the "ugly phase" during an art session? This is what it's referred to.
The phase were the artist is about 20-30% done and the artist suddenly reaches a point were can't move past, as the vision of the artwork is gone. How to get past this? Work on another artwork or leave it until the next day.
To complete an art piece is more complicated than most people think...
Here is my ugly phase btw.

Photos are energy - my fellow empaths can understand this statement and people who get moved by photos can relate as well.
I recently lost my dad, and I just saw a photo of my cousin. I blinked twice, scrolled down to take a breath, as I couldn't look anymore. I really felt his energy on that photo, being with my cousin. It's a very intense feeling to know without actually seeing anything there. We see through our 3rd eye some say... Seeing, knowing with our eyes wide open.
When we slow down and give our full attention to our being, our natural gifts emerge from the ashes like a phoenix. That's what I think. Who does that though? The general population (myself included) is working to put food on the table. We are all trying to make a difference and break from that fiat cycle. Fiat is a handler like the hospital providers are. Always following them no matter what, until you see them for what they truly are in your life. Controllers. Not letting us break away, not letting us escape, controlling our lives.
Whatever your reason for breaking away from the system, I'm with you. The change will be tremendous in everyones lives, not just in a monetary way.

Winter Eyes - 2020
I started my digital learning journey with this piece. This is not a photo but a painting.
I was streaming the process on Twitch at the time, not knowing if this artwork would be great or a disaster.
This took over 72h to complete as I was learning how to use my small wacom graphite tablet. First time streaming, first time using a tablet, first time attempting a realistic painting.
This is why I'm so connected to this piece. It really holds a special place in my heart 💙

Bitcoin Book Recommendations or Bitcoin Education videos
Please give me some recommendations on easy to consume content. I need to dive more into bitcoin, but my struggle is that many Podcasts explain it in such a difficult way that it becomes unbearable to listen to or understand.
Is anyone explaining the ins and outs like a 5 year old would? 🤔

Day in my life as a manager - work for over 55h a week in hospitality. If someone would ask me what's my biggest struggle at work, my answer would be "making sure I'm managing the staff efficiently". I noticed that most managers struggle to manage staff, manage their tasks or their own time.
For me, I struggle to find my way out of this rat race of fiat, but nobody would understand what I actually mean..
I invest in bitcoin, I buy hourly, and I hope for a better future for all humanity.
Fiat controls everything until it fails.
The system is broken, and everyone sees that. When you see that millennials and Gen Z can't afford NOTHING, no vans, no cars, no trailers, no houses, reality hits you in the face.
Are we heading back to the caves like our ancestors? Expressing art on the cave walls, leaving our mark that way? I honestly don't know, but it feels like it to me.
My goal is to move away... Paint, draw, read, repeat.
Day in my life as an artist - as a lot of artists, I find it hard to make time. Full time art is a dream!
I have a vision to create an art studio where people can walk outside and watch me paint. Real life streaming if you think about it.. I don't know if it would be interesting, but I know it would be interesting to me if I was watching someone paint or draw in real life.
How much would it cost for a studio? Hmm... I don't know but I definitely can't afford it. So for now, I'll be still sharing my photos, my experiences and my drawings with the hope that I will find my people, the ones who are looking for a real connection, not the GPT way 😅
Fellow human, if you read all this, I just want to remind you that you are loved. If nobody else has told you I love you today, here is me, letting you know that I love you 💙
If we can't spread love and happiness we are screwed. With love x
