So I have written so on Patreon and Deviantart, but I haven't update other sites on this- I'll be starting a new series very very soon. I'll be trying to recreate some of my nightmares as paintings/photomanipulations/whatever.

This whole change has come about is because I want to change the way I've been approaching art, and my mentality in general. I've felt pretty stuck and stagnant, and I think part of that is that I'm afraid of making things people won't like or even worse- that it might be upsetting. When I first got into art, things weren't so great, and so I used it as an escape. But then it evolved, and also became therapy for me. Unfortunately, someone who was abusing me used this to their advantage- to get in my head, understand what I was feeling, and use it against me. So I stopped using art as therapy. It was just pure escapism now. I only wanted to draw happy things, and make my characters happy. Make everyone happy. I wouldn't address how I was feeling, or things that were going on- some of which I really, really should have.

But I'm at a stage in my life where I feel I've started to accept some things about myself- like things that happened in my past, my depression, etc. that I couldn't before. And so I want my art to reflect that. I want to shed a light on some of my rougher edges so I can understand them better and move on. It feels way past due, honestly. I guess I'm stubborn like that. haha

But yeah, all this to say TL;DR my art's gonna get a bit spookier lately and maybe cover some mature themes. I've dabbled a bit but it's still pretty new territory for me so I hope you'll bare with me. Oh, and I should say, I won't STOP drawing happy stuff, just maybe it won't be 99% of my art anymore. Maybe. We'll see.
