negligence (shamefully late)
ah man, this is really bad. im like 3 days late on a post. i've genuinely been meaning to write since friday and i just hadn't gotten the chance to sit down and post something. im sorry, to whoever may or may not be reading, and sorry to the integrity of my blog consistency. i need to do better :(
this was a particularly busy weekend. nothing specific happened but just a lot of time spent with family and doing chores. Saturday we went out to see the new Michael Jackson Movie. It was great, I really enjoyed it. I felt really inspired and motivated to be a better person and push myself to greater heights as an artist. At the same time, it really sparked some thoughts about Jackson's career. What would MJ's journey to success look like if he started his career in the short form content era? Would he be doing tiktok dances and social media gimicks to rise on the charts? In the movie, he never was concerned about his personal fame or his music's success outside of connecting with the listeners. It makes me want to be more devoted to the craftsmanship of the music I create and less interested in the exposure or attempts at getting attention. Any piece of "content" MJ made in the movie was just a natural extension of his creativity. Like when he gathered the gang members for his thriller video. That part was inspiring. he was the only real creative director and marketing person for his career, all throughout his progression.
this last week, I had managed to make some decent progress in my stupid bs artwork (finally). after procrastinating it for almost an entire month and a half, I am closer to done with it than I was 2 weeks ago. It's actually turning out better than I imagined. I wanted it to look bad and unappealing. I'm gonna add some AI effects to give it more gruesomeness.
