So a few days ago it's been 12 years since I joined DA. Which means 12 years of doing fractal art. The number gets more surreal with every passing year Anyone else out there feeling the same about their long journey with art?
I've seen Silvia (our lovely fractal art CV) doing the 30 day challenge, I'm seriously considering doing it as well. I haven't been this creative... probably since 2012-ish. In past 4 months I made as many artworks as I did in whole 2017, so I might as well give it a shot
In late 2017/2018 my art has become a consistent trail of distinct memories, feelings, particular moments frozen in time, forever etched in artworks. I've always put my emotions/thoughts in artworks but this is different. I knew it but refused to actually acknowledge it, refused to stand still for a moment and look back at what I've been doing. I'm documenting a process. It's deeply personal, laid bare for anyone and everyone who cares to take a closer look. I've never done this before, not in this extent, not in this depth. Something's changing.
Recently, I reconnected with an old friend. TLDR, we're together now. He's smart, nerdy and cool. He's a big guy with a beard. He's kind and caring; he trolls the living crap out of me sometimes. I fancy him, obviously. He's been my muse since well before there was any romantic stuff involved. We let each other breathe. Yet I think I haven't let anyone this close to me before. The process is painful and rewarding.
2017 was difficult, mostly crappy year for me. I'm loving 2018. It's by no means easy but finally, I feel like I can breathe again.

I eagerly await the cascade of brilliance!
I can honestly say it has been a privilege to witness your growth recently; artistically and personally. I appreciate your willingness to speak your emotions so openly through the creations and statements you share here.
The final few months of 2017 nearly split my soul irreparably, but I managed to keep moving forward...in part because friends, both close and distant (like you), exhibited courage and compassion in my darkest hours. For the rest of my life I will remember the kindness shown to me, and I will pay it forward with authentic love.

There must be something in the air, my friend. I had a writing burst over the past couple of days. Mostly because of new songs that I've heard.
Other than gifts for friends and special poems, I haven't really written anything for quite awhile.
Give the challenge a go and see what happens

Aah, very interesting! Music definitely helps, in my experience My muse has been over-stocking me with new music, I suspect it's one of the reasons why I've been so creative lately...

Congratulations!!!
I am very happy for you!!! ^.^
Ah, 2017 was difficult for you too, eh?
I agree that 2018 is proving to be a much better year,
Despite a ridiculously long winter (that lasted 7 months).

Thank you Yeah the winter was terrible this year! At least here in central Europe it became summer practically overnight, almost no spring... the weather seems to be weirder and weirder with every passing year.

You're welcome ^w^
Ah,
Where I live in Canada has experienced the same thing almost;
A summer instantaneously without a spring in between.
However, it rained today...
So maybe things will still feel like 'Spring' for the time being.
