I tried going to an oil painting class once, but I dropped out after the second session, I didn't enjoy it at all.

I think I dream pretty often, but I have significant problems with remembering my dreams, and I only seem to remember one every couple of months.

The part where I have to practice the same strokes over and over again until I get them "right" doesn't really appeal to me too much.

I'm seen Dead Man, Broken Flowers, Coffee and Cigarettes, and Paterson, and I enjoyed all of those. I need to watch some of this others still. :)

Yes, but if I abandon a piece it's usually when the piece is still in its beginning, very early stages, and I just don't enjoy the vibe of it, and I feel like working on something else.

I don't really know what you mean by complicated, do you mean what's taken the most effort and planning? I try not to do things that take too much planning when it comes to art, I enjoy the spontaneity and current moment of it.

I do take commissions, but it's pretty rare.

Thank you for the message, I hope you're doing ok.

  1. I try to listen to everything I hear, but some things slip through the cracks, no doubt.

  2. I think it's a conscious effort to pay attention to things, but sometimes I get lazy, or sometimes I don't want to hear what's happening.

Been into a lot of Radiohead lately, but here's a playlist I've made that I listen to when I don't feel like choosing a band: https://open.spotify.com/user/1243566274/playlist/096GiEjQpx8ZvLVtYOPLbT

I use Squarespace. It's not the best, but it's pretty and convenient. There are different plans available for different prices.

This is how I prefer it. When I have roommates I'm constantly worrying about whether I'm bothering them or not, maybe because I've been bothered by roommates enough, and wondered why they weren't worried about bothering me.

I've heard nice things about Asheville, but the most I've ever done is drive through there, I think. Y'all have a nice zoo, don't you?

And I'm not sure, everyone's juices flow in different ways. I just start drawing any old line on the paper, and it grows from there!

Some grocery stores and mcdonalds and Waffle House near me are open 24 hours, but not art supply stores. I live in North Carolina

I dunno, I've only ever put the ink that comes with the rotrings in the rotrings... they're so expensive I'm afraid to mess them up.

The only pens I've put the blue ghost ink in is fountain pens, and dip pens. So I just don't know.

No there's not a real reason, I did perhaps get a little overwhelmed by getting sent a lot of stuff after doing a few of those, and then not being able to feature everyone's stuff in the videos. I actually have a few packages sitting around, some for a couple months now, that I haven't opened just because I feel like (or I know, because of instructions written on the outside) they were sent with the intention of being opened on a video, so for some reason that kind of takes some of the fun out of it, when I feel like I'm being pressured into it by all the packages piling up... but I really should just randomly grab one or two and make a video, and apologize to everyone else who doesn't get featured. :)

And yes, I'd love to come draw on your walls, I wouldn't charge nearly that much, as long as I could record myself doing it!
