If scam sites like A.r.twisher are gonna steal our stuff off NG & use it as bait for lure suckers in, I'm not sure if I want to keep posting my work here... Truth be told, now I'm wondering what the point is of posting it anywhere online. This is the Internet we have now, folks.


One thing I know for certain: there is no way in Elon Musk's GI tract that I will post any finished work (or even my better sketches) without watermarks, & any other digital proofs of origin I can add. They can't stop theft, true. But unless an alert thief takes the time to erase them all, they will remain as evidence of his/its misdeed the instant the image is posted elsewhere. Am sticking by this decision for the foreseeable future.


In other news, I caught a bad infection last week...still not sure what it was. Coulda been a cold or it coulda been a strain of Covid, who knows. I don't feel 100% right now but am somewhat better than I was eight days ago....still shitty, though.

it's so tough out there -- being seen and recognized. i hear you. i think in some ways with my own music and writing,, i'm taking every note of positivity i get and really rolling with it. in a world where no one cares, no one cares about our art, the few that do mean everything. i wish you the best in your journey, and i hope that you achieve the apex of your art.

I appreciate the positive comments. Thanks for stopping by!

You can browse my stuff here whenever you want, if you're in an office or cubicle & need to pass the time. I will continue to post things here as I complete them... Unfortunately, scam sites & image-ripping are irritations of the modern era. We have to live with it to some extent, I guess.
