BWN: What's Goin On
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 120[GREETING GOES HERE] So since I broke my left hand, I can't really draw. But I can type What's Going OnI started coding again lol. I'm kind of embarrassed to share because I think it's kind of uncool, but I really enjoyed it haha. (link) Got to practice design and then remind myself why I liked coding to begin with. I had fun designing the color scheme, fonts and logo (flower thing) and then putting it into action. Doing some other stuff too lol What I've been thinking aboutI think these past 2 weeks have been kind of insane (in a great way!). I don't really know exactly how to explain it... I've been learning so much and I'm finding out that learning itself is what gets me into my element. That's why was so obsessed with drawing, sewing, coding and music (back in the day). It had a very steep learning curve so I saw myself learn fast, they were all very independent, and they were all about creating things. Something similar is happening here too But it's a bit different because it's a feeling of "things are coming together". I'm sure some of it is that skills are overlapping (like art and coding). Still a lot to learn, but I’m excited about where this is headed. I'm also starting to see some trends and fundamentals in things. Like when I was mastering art. There were principles:
And it's like those principles are showing up in new areas of life but in bigger ways. Idk lol. I'm thankful that the Lord has put me here. We'll see what happens. Kind of vague haha. I hesitate to share details because things are moving super fast...and those details may not even be true by the time you read it. Thank you! Next Newsletter is next Wednesday!

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 130 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On Random Drawings study of someone else here here No idea what I was trying to do here: Maybe I'll do some landscapes some day Other stuff I've been trying to talk to more people. That's been nice. What I've been thinking about I'm not sure Mudboard will work out. I don't have many users and the interest is not strong.

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 129 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On I didn't draw anything so I'm just gonna talk about Mudboard Mudboard It's been about 3 months and I think things have evolved. I wrote a lil article about why Mudboard should exist. So remember how I have this grid format with like a "mirror mode." It was cool, but I realized it didn't too anything too unique. random images Next thing I tried, I built a way to reuse the references (the right panel) I think it's...
