Well, I finally did it. I finally got off my lazy butt and made my first submission.
....
And I'm already feeling the needles of anxiety prickling at my skin.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy showing my sketches, though it's usually only to family and friends as well as the occasional stranger who may catch me unawares and want to see what I'm doing out of curiosity. I suppose some tiny sliver of shyness still remains embedded deeply in my mind. Or perhaps it's fear of the internet and its penchant for meanness at times.
But I love art. I love to draw, I love to write, to paint, to create. There's just something beautiful about the feeling you get when you create something, look it over and like what you see. When you feel you've finally managed to snag a mental image by the ankle and drag it onto paper where you can keep it and see it outside of your own head. Once it's out, it seems unfair not to share it with others, for better or worse. Art is meant to be seen, heard, felt, experienced...
Five a.m. and I'm waxing poetic. I'd say I need more coffee but I really don't think that would help my nerves much.

Nomi
So, yesterday was a hot mess. Let me start at the beginning.
I've been feeding the stray cats around the apartment for-- I believe-- a little over a month. The driver's side windows on the car I drive don't roll up and some of the cats have been using the car for shelter, so I figured why not? They need to eat too. A few weeks ago, while putting out food for the fluffy white and grey cat I was familiar with, I opened the car door and was greeted by big green eyes from the front seat. I'm not sure who was more startled, me or the little black and white tuxedo kitten. Either way, she was quick to accept the food I had.
Thus began a frie
A Love of Empathy
#ShowYourHeart
Empathy feels like it is in such short supply these days when the world really could use more of it. There's far too much hate, too much fear, and too few of those moments where you can truly connect and see someone else's situation through their eyes. So, with that in mind, I'd like to direct you to these pieces. Go show these artists some love. :heart:
Be good to each other out there, y'all.
Tagged With Questions!
Huh, never done one of these before. But I was tagged by FujeeB13 (https://www.deviantart.com/fujeeb13) and I shall abide by the rules of the Tag!
1. Team PC or team MAC?
I am firmly in the team PC camp though I may be a little biased; my franken-rig is a complete charity case created by my friends.
2. What do you prefer on Devianart (painting, comics, adopts, bases, tutorials, etc.)?
I find I don't really have any preferences. I love them all and seeing the vastness of the art community always calms me.
3. What is your favorite movie and why?
Okay, this is a tricky one. I love Labyrinth; everything from the music to the creature design to David Bowie. I'
I'm Still Here
Okay, so I haven't been terribly active lately. Between general stress and my jerkass brain getting turnt on that anxiety, my creativity level has been pretty low. I'm down, but not out; I'm working on new stuff and hopefully will be back to posting art soon. I just wanted to let y'all know I'm still around and thanks for those that have stuck around. Also, a big thanks to sirenabonita for the sweet surprise of a Core. I didn't expect it and it really picked me up.
I love all of you and always enjoy the inspiration your works give me. I'll be operational again soon. :heart:
