THOUGHTS.........

So! Christmas rolls around and a new year comes out. How fun is that, 2024 in a few days! This News Post is gonna be a ROLLERCOASTER and a HALF so get a drink, i'd appreciate it if you read all the way through and checked out all the artists i mention x). Now i usually tend to be all jokey jokey and ha ha's but i'd like to take a second to get kinda real, it's a little heavy maybe,. I know this year was awful for a lot of reasons, very big ongoing stuff too, you know what i'm talking about. I'm not really scared to bring up the current genocide of Palestinian people because others feel it brings the mood down or something, i think the least we can do is acknowledge it's happening as we're all safe in our homes eating with our loved ones during the holidays, because these people can't have that. If you're sick and tired of hearing it, well, y'know, haha. Go fuck yourself LOL NO ANYWAY that's all, my intention isn't really to tell you how to spend these times and come off condescending doing so or whatever, but that i myself am thankful for what i have, now more than ever. Corny? maybe, i don't care. It felt weird not to mention here as it's a part of my life as well, and i'd rather stay true to myself than not make some people uncomfortable i guess.

...

Despite everything, this year was one of the best i've had probably. I was really scared about my art output all the way through but honestly i don't hate not being as present online anymore, it's taken a lot but i think i'm finally taking things easy, or easy-er if you know what i mean haha, i definitely would love to be more active next year but it's not a priority right now. This year was jam packed with new experiences, met so many nice wonderful people, made new friends as well.... overall i don't have much to be sad about, bad things come and go. so do people, i've learned. But that's okay too, things happen and we move on like always. Crying is good. Feeling stuff out and talking to your loved ones is good. Being vulnerable is hard but worth it with the right person or people. I love my mom and my friends. Some of you have gone through everything with me and i genuinely could not be more thankful for everything, i want to give back. For you to feel that, if only the littlest bit of it. I'd be lost without you. I never thought i'd be at a point in my life where i can genuinely say from the heart, that i am loved and cared for. I *know this was always the case, but now i *feel it. Seriously thank you so much for sticking by, i want to spend all my life with you. Love u guyz

Shoutouts!

Urgh ANYWAY enough tearing up ay....... lets get to the good stuff.................heh, so. I want to show you some people. Artists i really love and that are worth checking. Part of that giving back thing i'm feeling ig haha, but really do give these people a follow, they make cool stuff. Let's start off with someone who 100% deserves more eyes on:

(Full piece)

ChiliChapters !!! If we're talking underrated we start HERE cus THIS DUDE MAKES SUCH BANGER ART that is imo being TOTALLY SLEPT ON!!!!!!!!!! Chili's bits of worldbuilding and characters for his upcoming manga Pinup Monster are so so awesome and honestly inspiring to me as i'd love to make something of this scope in the future. I'm a huge fan of this rendering style he's adopted for some pieces where it looks like copic markers, very pleasant and quite an unique look if i do say so muself.

IvySnyder! LISTEEEEEN TO THIS... WHAT!!! Ivy has this like insane ability to only make good music..? Like how's that happen,?? I like the tone she sets in her music, sometimes it's really kinda unnerving and cold but other times like in this EP it's something more welcoming and positive i feel, though you'd find there's always cool rhythms going on, very dancey fun stuf with LOTS OF ENERGY but also with an underlying dark introspective vibe goin on heh...... somehow Ivy currently sits at 200 songs posted yet only 94 followers so let's balance things out YEA?!

Wilieu. U can't really talk about cool music without bringing homegirl up........ i'm being fr if you're a longtime beatumhead you've likely noticed Wilieu's name come up here and there throught the years.,, That's cus Erin is probably one of the coolest people alive at the moment and i say this very very SERIOUSLY JUST LISTEN BRO GRR a few months ago she released her new album Fall-Between and it's full of LIFE. IMMERSIVE WORLDS. WEIRD SOUNDS. MELODIES ABOUND. GIVE HER SOME LOVE !!

Jremby! the man of the hour. Creator of THE BIG DANCE,... might've heard of it.... jremby's constant grind will make you go HOLY SMOKES as you'll soon find bro's working on stuff left and right, cool projects all around. I wanna see him reach even higher heights. Give him love !!! Sidenote; also an incredibly chill guy :) ! That's always a plus i think.
