Is the acid starting to kick in then?

[Wuducynn]

Oh I don't need acid or shrooms.

[Brice]

Me neither

Spoiler:

anymore

[Wuducynn]

Imagine reading the Dark Tower series in that state..

[Brice]

I don't have to imagine. Back when I used to do that stuff I read I-III in that (and many other) states.

[Wuducynn]

hmmmmmm

[Brice]

It's just incredibly hard to focus for long when you're tripping hard. It's easier reading during the afterglow. However with how much I did back then there was very little time for afterglow.

[Wuducynn]

I made a thread in Gilead for this..

[Brice]

I saw.

[Mike Beck]

Thanks

Mike - I don't know about you, but I'll be really into something while I'm planning it out/drawing/painting it - but once I'm done I get really critical and always end up grading myself "Could have done better"

oh i do that a lot too.

i'll just sit there and stare at a painting or drawing and judge the shit out of it. I go through a series of touch-ups/changes/judging until i just get so sick of it and abandon the damn thing, accepting it is finished.

sometimes i'm really happy with something, and i declare it done. then two or three months later, i'll look at it and be like, "what the eff is this crap? what was i thinking??"

it's a pain in the arse.

i had to force myself to post mine in order to stop myself from tinkering with it "just a little bit more" for the 80th time. the real issue for me with doing all my art digitally is the temptation to just hit "file-close" and say "fuck it, this piece sucks. bye bye." done it before and sure i will do it again.

[Daghain]

Love it, Lisa!

i hear ya, man. i do a bunch of digital stuff every now and then, and it's so easy to just make it go away forever.

sometimes it feels good to throw it away.

[Darkthoughts]

Cheers Daggers I'm tempted to redo it again...thank goodness it ends tommorrow

Mike + Jayson: totally what I'm saying! Its good to have a place where people are honest about their art, I was at Deviantart for a while but alot of people there seem too arrogant to be honest and chat about stuff.

i didn't even know what i did was art until my friends told me it was. [can you say "american primitive" duma key readers?]. i used to just use photoshop to make cool covers for my cds and backgrounds for ads at work. i started to use those skills to make pretty pictures but when i showed my friends [whom i consider actual artists, they have shows, they went to college for it, etc] they said it was art. i'm still not sure either way, but i can be honest about it.
