Yes... Ever... So forgive me, for I am sure to slip on this.
Okay, so I have the face on the book, which I don't use, and one of those Tumblr things (http://slythemongoose.tumblr.com/) , but there's so much garbage to sift through on there, and it really just doesn't feel good to me to use... I have a Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sly_the_mongoose/) that I haven't used in months, probably over a year... so I don't use them, for one reason or another, the idea of them became boring for me.
Anyhoo, here's the reason for all of this nonsense. Recently I upgraded from a 'stoopid phone' to a 'smart phone' *oooohahhhh... whatever... but just about the only good thing(s) about that is that it has a pretty nice camera on it, and I could get an Instagram(@slythemongoose). While that may sound weird to start off with, hear me out.
I found a few visual artists on this app, who use it fairly regularly, and had some really cool inspiring stuff... then I started finding more and more cool people, who probably don't even consider themselves artists, calligraphers, crafters, photographers, etc... I was inspired by all of these 'normal' people, who were just like me... To make a long story short - I realized that most of the stuff that I do just to entertain myself, could (with a little more energy and attention added into it) possible turn into something that people might like... I sort of realized that I was being selfish... I should share more of these things with a greater audience... and that there's not a mountain of difference between your favorite illustrator, artist, etc. and yourself.
So in an attempt to share more about what's going down 'round here, I created this blog page... It gives me more room to rant, and a lot of the people and 'artists' that I have found on Instagram have a blog here as well, so it's sort of convenient for me in a number of ways to make this blog... besides that - images look so much better on a screen that's larger than an android :/
What is to come in the future:
- I will be uploading some of my artwork, some doodles, and other miscellaneous nonsense (I've been pretty deep into learning calligraphy recently, so- I'm sorry in advance if there is an abundance of that soon :/)
- Also, I will be delving into the experimentation(s) I have undertaken recently, as well as the process(es)
- I will do my best to make a post regularly with new material(s)... We'll see how well I do with that (haha)
... this will probably bore most, and if so - please, feel free to tell me that... express yourself... but also, if any thoughts come to mind from anything I post here, or if there is something that you like, and would like to see more of, or have criticism(s), comment(s), critique(s), anything - all is welcome here, but try not to be too inappropriate... there may be kids looking... not our fault, but still ;) just try... but not too hard...This is all for now... until later ;)
