I saw your recent WIP for The Bacchae and if it interests you, I think you might enjoy reading Natasha Pulley's Hymn to Dionysus. The best I can describe it is an alternative perspective on The Bacchae. The Themes (™) really grab you and refuse to let go and even though I knew how the story ended I was still surprised. Pulley has some really immersive, beautiful language and it reminded me of your art. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

quit the iwtv tarot project and have something to say regarding big ideas involving multiple artists. have a clear vision before inviting people and stick to it until it's done. the fewer updates, the better. if your server is more of a fun chatting space, have emails running. it should be easy to follow even if the participant's day is fully booked. it was extremely hard to do with this project. today, i found the server deleted, and the new one sent without explanation. i've made a decision not to join again.

to conclude: if i have time/love the idea, i'll do something for you. just give me dates and technical stuff, and, please, keep it simple.

also, before you ask, i have no idea what has happened, and that's exactly the point.

the thing about "i could do that" is that what people mean is that they can copy the finished product because the work of coming up with something and making it has already been done for them. every little creative decision has already been made and put into creating something, so "doing the same thing" is only doing the work of physically making something. but art doesn't just appear out of thin air. every little decision someone makes is part of the creative process. if you "can just do that" you would be doing it instead of just saying it. because the most essential part of making a piece of art is actually making it. you have to come up with it, decide to make it, and make it, for it to even exist. you can look at someone's works and think that on a technical level you can Do The Same Thing but that's not really true. because the work of unique creative choices for a particular piece you're looking at has already been done. some pieces are hard to make because they're very complex on a technical level, but every single piece that's created requires the essential work of coming up with it, making choices that are unique to you as an artist, and actually making the piece
