long that i have been working at learning drawing, seeking to put to paper what crawls about my mind. this wound not be as much of an issue if my hand would cooperate with what i wish to create.  while i have found many an artist that has often inspired me, often what i attempt ends in failure. I have sought tutorials, and advice from others. all to no avail... frustrating, i know. but i must continue on, if i walk away now i'll only disappoint myself. so once again, i shall make the attempt. fell a tree, plant another in its stead as i torture those nearest to me with failed sketches and bad excuses for biology.

if i write, write a million words. stream of conscious. save what may work, delete the rest. then do it again.
if i draw, draw ten thousand sketches. pull form out of chaos, save the improvements, recycle the rest. do it again.
if i sculpt, shave off the excess. rend ideas from raw resource.  return to the earth when it breaks, but try again.

art come not of what works the first time, but what is forged out of the failures that came before. through this as you, as i have have found short cuts that work. style is born, never recreated by another.
even if copied by another, they will never match that style. it is unique, like a cadence. beyond a fingerprint, it is a signature of the mind.

so as i move forward, trying to draw. i shall lament at the fact that for now, biology is beyond me.
but i shall be nice, and not inflict others with my bad attempts at drawing, it may cause a war somewhere...
