Why does the Muse's song ring silent?
I wanted to make a dA journal on this for old times sake. Lately I've been doing a lot more thinking. About who I am, what I like, what my plans are, and how all of that affects what I make. This journal is going to be the conclusion to all of these thoughts. I put it on this platform because DeviantArt is the first place where I realized that I had an opportunity to grow as an artist and this platform is where I realized I could eventually have a career making art. It cannot be understated the influence this site had on my growth over the years. But enough about that, I'm here to spill the beans. The beans say this: I do not enjoy the process of drawing, nor do I enjoy the process of learning to draw. "But how are you going to be a professional artist if you hate drawing?" Let me explain. I was watching a video about the Great Wave, a Japanese painting and lithograph from the Edo period of Japan. I was watching closely with the intent of learning to be more mindful when I draw and
Jasen's Journal 9/19/2022 | Hello Old Friend :D
Today I tried to fix my bike. I almost had it, but I failed. I wallowed in ym sadness by watching a couple episodes of one piece, then I went to the store to grab some snacks. while I was there I almost bought a notebook. It was 100 pages and it was Purple. Exactly what I needed. I bought 's course on digital art because I wanted to improve, but I had been having trouble taking the steps to start. Taking notes on paper is boring but for me personally, I'd rather write it out by hand then type it. It doesn't feel like I'm learning anything otherwise. Anyway while I was about to check out I realized I had left my wallet at home so I had to walk back home from my local Walgreens to get my wallet and come back. But when I came back the store was temporarily closed because there was a crazy customer who was getting really feisty with the security guard. She exclaimed that she had a concealed carried weapon and then the police were called. It just so happened that if I hadn't left my
Update on jasens.vision 9/12
copied from my recent post bc this is a journal and I want ppl to read it. "Currently in the house I live in, my water heater's pilot is out. My house is pretty old and the basement is flooded, so for right now lighting the pilot wont work anyways. I'm not gonna lie, without hot water I found it hard to take a shower today. So as I stepped in the cold shower I was very apprehensive because although I've taken cold showers in the past, It's been over a year since I've had a really cold shower and showered all the way through and any attempts since then have been met with a rewarding hot water spray at the end. I did not have the luxury of such a reward at this time, nevertheless I needed to shower. So I hopped in. It was very cold. Shocking, I know. I tilted the shower head towards the floor as low as it would go, and stood at the back. I wet my hands and head, and the bar of soap I was using, and tried to clean myself that way, but I knew that doing this would just waste time and
A rant on branding and my inconsistency with it
when i chose to forego @purplejasen for this name i sort of settled. i forgot that i could just not change my name and save it for when i have a name i really want. but its fine, bc i dont treat deviantart like my other socials anyway. deviantart is less professional, more fun for me. Right now I like how MADEBYJSN feels so I have been going with that, opting for JSN if at all possible. The thing is when I think about these sort of brand changes it gets so hard to ignore the call to update all my socials and my website instead of just make art. I get so excited when I think "man that layout looks so cool" when I could be saying, "man i really outdid myself on this piece I did." or "man, that page kicked my ass but it was worth it." It's a problem that I attribute to lack of self discipline and procrastination that makes me feel productive. That is a weird phrase, but basically, I'm tricking myself into not drawing by focusing on something thats "productive". In this case making my
