So my entry in the @neilhimself Folio Society contest didn't make the cut as a finalist 😢 It's disappointing, but I gave it my best shot and am very happy with what I created ☠️ 🖤
I might still turn it into an art print for my Etsy shop with a portion of funds raised going to charity, like I did with the bookmark art I also did for 'The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains'. If I do I will post about it here later on
@neilhimself thank you! Considering the quality of the finalists who were chosen, and all the artwork I’ve seen that didn’t make it, I don’t envy the decision makers either!
Are you alright with me turning my entry into a print sold for charity? I was thinking of making either UNHCR or UNRWA the beneficiary
My coworkers say that I’ve got resting murder face. When I’m just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I’m actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
I wonder if its an ADHD and/or autistic thing to have your interests go hot or cold all of a sudden? Find I was enjoying a lot of video games lately, now its podcasts and book reading. #actuallyautistic
@SHODAN I'd like to know the same! I'm autistic but have wondered about some ADHD qualities.
First something such as graphic novel reading is hot: I borrow piles from a library and devour them. Suddendly they don't interest practically at all but I pick up my guitar and start churning out new songs.
The most important things come back to me. I can be sure that at some point I pick up the graphic novels or guitar again. It just might take half a year or three years before it happens.
Right now I seem to be in between of special interests. Let's see what's next.
