You’re the second person I’ve seen say that art is communication, and it’s somehow so groundbreaking to me. I’ve experienced a lot of what you describe here. I spent years making digital art for the sake of looking pretty and purposefully not having anything to say; it’s safe. Anyways, I feel all the more empowered by what you wrote, and it seemed to find me at the right time. Best of luck on your art journey!
69th is an honor! Thanks for all the kind words. I hope you enjoy the comics--I definitely did!
nice
