Hope you all are doing well.

I haven't been too inspired in recent time. It's been a very voyeuristic several months, naturally where video games are concerned. I may just be old and out of touch, but I find myself wishing we were living in times of a great boom in creativity. I am reminded of Fur Affinity of around 2009 through 2013. Love or hate, everyone wanted to put something out. You saw more little known artists, enthusiasts of various veins of artistry, events based around appreciation of the arts... I want to wake up in a world richly in love with the unknown. I want to know that people from all around are wrapped in love, doing what makes them happy. Doing...what gives them purpose.

I won't make suppositions based around that the many folks I've met here and on other art websites aren't going through their own storms, but against hopelessness, I wish them strength and perseverance in their endeavors. And for some of us, particularly younger people, the world is much different now than it was when I was much younger, and that sometimes means they aren't as comfortable. Or resolute.

Again, I hope you are all well. And warm, surviving the cold, and in life, ever more bold. <3
