    Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.

    You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.

      When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.

      Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”

      And that was enough for me to get into it.

      Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.

      For real, there’s dickbags pushing a button so AI can shit out songs that no one but themselves will listen to, patting themselves on the back as artists. Let’s never be afraid to put our art out there, spread it, play it live. People need to know what human creativity feels like.

      Edit: This may have been more about AI than I wanted it to be.

      I have thousands worth of random modular, sequencers, groove boxes, software synths… It’s endless. I sold a ton the last few years. I own 5 guitars for “different purposes”. I have a Tracker Mini on the way tomorrow.

      I’ve never produced a single thing I’d want to share with anyone. But I have fun making bleep bloops and that’s what I remember when I start to feel bad about it. I just wanna live in a musical spaceship and that’s ok until it’s not, so let’s just make cool sounds and not worry about it. 🤷‍♂️

          There’s a famous actor guy who got into pottery and even though his stuff is meh all of a sudden he’s an ceramic expert and is mass producing his designs. Kinda pisses me off that those of us who are not already famous have to work 20xs harder to get out stuff out in the world and he just gets a pass because he’s an actor.

    I made released an album last year, spent the previous year working on it. Probably about 100 listens so far, across all the tracks, but it’s fine 🥲 I’ve been using it like a demo, taking some of the songs to my new band, so they can hear what I had in my head!

      podcast listeners listen to it this shit for hours and hours. because it’s junk food that’s easy to have on in the background.

    I’m the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it’s a art that can be functional.
