Fighting Through the Summer Doldrums With Creativity
Added 2024-07-20 21:37:02 +0000 UTCI hate this time of year. I love making art, you, and despite what I think some days, myself.
Yeah call me a victim of Pacific Northwest Stockholm Syndrome, but I can't stand bright, I can't stand sun, and I can't stand heat. I love rain, I prefer cold, and the dark lets me do my best work. Yeah that makes me sound like some sort of edgelord, but like? The hell with it, I know what I am: someone who look out on a summer day and go "seen it, next," then go back to bed until it's darker out.
It's the sort of shit that makes you get down on yourself and develop issues of self-worth. Depression is like that, but this year, I'm not losing myself to that cycle. This summer, I'm doing what I can to give you what you deserve, which is to say: heya, despite this sounding like some sort of self-pitying mea culpa, it really is more me trying to do a minor Kendrick and tell you all that New Flows Comin', Be Patient, Brother. Like, Next Week-levels of New Flows Comin'.
Also hey, it's me: I'm the nerd who went and did the 'my character wears a cool coat' cliche, so I only felt it proper that I finally designed the backpatch on Van's leather jacket.
So expect first, a new Van story, and then after that, a bunch of more stuff for Project 99. See you then!
