Allow me to explain. This past year I distanced myself from the poster art world as I felt my art become hyper commercialized and stale. Everything I did was safe and palatable. Nothing had a shred of authentic emotion. It made me fucking sick... so I started getting up at 7 AM to draw yaoi
Honestly I need to start getting up early to draw the yaoiz instead of of staying up late....love u finding ur passions and gl with the future path and endeavors!
Thank you friend… it was my primary inspiration for getting up early for a few months straight LMAO 😭 I was in the mines, hard at work...! Also you’ve been an inspo for this; every time I look at your stuff I’m like wow I need to be more self indulgent this is excellent
HAHA when I was doing some doujin stuff back in 2020 I remember this was my lifestyle for a short bit… wild to think about! And I’m glad to inspire… very excited for what u want to continue making and working on 👀 Zi unleashed…
I do not say this to sound like a filthy pervert, but because this was the way I realized I could put my whole soul and emotions into art again. In illustrating gay vampires, I fell in love with art again, because I remembered why I started drawing in the first place: to draw hot, sexy guys
I thought of doing a version of this meme of just my commercial stuff, but I’m so disillusioned by my art in that area that I won’t. I also said goodbye to multiple companies I worked with in the past so I can curate a newer image of myself. Perhaps my actions are extreme… but I feel good about it
Tl;dr I am freeing myself from the mental shackles of shame and a capitalistic notion of “chasing success” to pursue ultimate hedonism in my art and craft. Thank you for reading and supporting, I hugely appreciate it.
