ARTBLOG 7

final thoughts:

i'm a sucker for visual cohesion, so even though a lot of these could have gone in the previous batch, one half of july's artwork just looked so distinctly different from the other that i figured it'd make more sense to save them for later. so here we are. some of july's work made alongside artfight is strewn about with august & october's for this onee.

i feel very neutral about the artwork this time around. i consistently had a blast drawing all of them, but it's hard for me to extend the same love to the visuals themselves and not just the process if you catch my drift? drawing has always been and will forever be fun to me, but after last month's batch where i consistently did several planned and intentionally meaningful artworks (black hole heart, fanta, good things), it became very hard for me to start drawing after that. i wanted to replicate the same polish and intrigue but had nothing i felt were "good ideas," constantly having the urge to draw but with nothing really to say. so yeah, i drew in these months because it's fun, but i don't think any of these are very intuitive or provoking in any way, although they are pretty fun to look at and were VERY fun to draw. much mixed messaging in this batch.

MONTHLY MUSE

been making my way thru more of clipping's discog and oh....... i genuinely think this is the best conceptual album i've ever listened thru. tracklist has been on my mind all thru october man omfg.....

it's an experimental hip-hop album sci-fi about a man fleeing an intergalactic slave trade while traveling thru space. i feel so insane about this, one billion recommends be your way.
