Looking Back

Today exactly four years ago, my motorcycle had been stolen out of my gated subterranean garage at the apartment I was living in. My car had been beaten into a piece of scrap metal in a parking lot... aaaand my computer crashed... all in the midst of final presentations.

Looking back, I realize that I always found a way to push pass the depression and get on with finding a solution, or just accepting my fate. Tears and self pity don't solve problems. Actions do. Sometimes it makes it seem like I have no emotions, but that's just adaption in effect. Things are always in constant motion. But as I got good at skipping out on sadness, I also began to overlook joy and satisfaction of my successes. I was overlooking the things that made my personal art worth doing. I was addicted to improving, upgrading, and to a degree, I still am. My art, my house, my car. Things could always be better. Perfection may be impossible, but I will settle for the perception of perfection.

I now realize few things have changed as I write this post into my birthday. It's not time to slow down just yet.

Skull Cave

some Ruo Li studies

Just some quick value sketches inspired by some recent movies I've watched. Can you guess which ones?

Individually Me

New job. New place. New lifestyle. New responsibilities. Getting used to it all is taking some time, but things are becoming more routine and regular. I've been spending most of my time the past few months performing heavy maintenance on my vehicles, organizing my finances, buying furniture, and just organizing the new place. i love it.
