3.5 years of art progress

this is primarily a post to celebrate the year of art. it has been an extremely hard year personally, but i made a lot of art and i am so proud of what i made this year. so. i want to talk about it to kind of... stop and take a step back and figure out where i want to go next and what i have actually learnt about process from taking art 'seriously'. i think that in the depths of practicing technique it can be easy to hit your head off a brick wall many times under the pretense of perfecting your swing, while you are actively doing stuff that is hurting you.
