On this day 10 years ago, I started on this site and it has been an adventurous pleasure. I've discovered new things through it, or it has been a great tool to strengthen old things dear to me. From Sherlock to Fellow Travelers, this is me. Looking forward the next ten years to come!

so, i don't usually share any *real* personal stuff on tumblr (or any platform honestly) anymore, but i feel like this anniversary is too precious for me and i can't miss it
the "aposztrofea" blog turns 10 this august!
10 years of agony, highs and lows, art that summarizes my daily thoughts, current taste and mindset. a few own poems in the old, forgotten archive section, and a *lot* of quotes - many of them i still resonate with.
i just finished scrolling through it all - and all i want to say is: if i could, i would hug and befriend that highly miserable, sad and angsty teen who started this all.
my page means the world to me. thank y'all for sticking with me all these years.
As of today, it has been exactly 10 years since I started creating and sharing a 3D animated GIF artwork every single day!
I originally began learning 3D and making GIFs after being inspired by many of the digital artists I had started to find on Tumblr back in 2013. When I decided to start making a GIF every day in April 2014, with very little prior art experience, I never could have imagined that I would still be here doing it 10 years later.
I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has stuck around and supported my work in any way over the last decade. Likewise, I also have to thank everyone I've had the chance to work or collaborate with over the duration of this project! This has been a huge learning experience, and I am very proud of how far things have come.
To the best of my knowledge, I am the first artist to complete 10 years of daily GIFs, but I have to give major props to the other artists that I know of who paved the way and passed this milestone before me in their respective mediums:
@songadaymann / @catswilleatyou / @beeple / @graebor / @rawandrendered
With that being said, after a lot of contemplation, I have decided that today will mark the completion of my daily GIF project. I have no plans to stop creating and sharing my art, but after 10 years of pushing to have an animation done every single day, it's time for a change of pace.
There are still so many things I want to learn, and now feels like the right time to give myself the room to explore and give it a try.
Thank you again for the support. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
“I didn’t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we’d choose anyway. And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”
honestly I think hugh grant lucked out with his glass onion role. a couple hours of shooting at most, no press work, no interviews, and he gets to be remembered by everyone as famous detective benoit blanc's live in sexy malewife
