creative processes are weird, and an awesome cinema experience

this semester has been feeling off, in the way my main projects are progressing.

killing instagram 2026 (and opt-in-SPAM)

i have deleted instagram off my phone. this was last sunday (april 12) and my life has been bliss ever since. well.

a beautiful day (for no reason in particular. heh.)

i am 24 years old. wowie.

march collages

ok i lied. there is one from april. i was busy in march, somehow.

early last month, i thought, frenzied, that i need to do more collages, so i resolved to start making little folding zines of collages, so that i'd do like 3 to 8 collages a month. here are the ones i did in march (and on tuesday):

the first comic club meeting (it was awesome)

earlier this year, a vision came to me. i need to start a comic anthology zine with my classmates. or whomever is interested. and since i've been in my connecting with people era, i immediately started asking around, and fairly quickly had a small group of people who said they liked the idea and wanted to participate. (this was very exciting)

i have risen from hell

my portfolio is done. like 99%. the last 1% is publishing details like whether i get a readymag pro license for free from my uni so i am not demeaned by the readymag branding and the cryptic URL. and my friend will have to do a testrun this weekend, lest i have become so oblivious of an unassuming user and their behaviours that i have implemented stupid bullshit that nobody understands.

it's the last day of march

it's the last day of march and i am supposed to do a collage to fill this month's mini-collage-zine (a challenge i've set myself earlier this month to get myself to do more collage. you will hear more about it in due time.) instead, i am writing a blog post, because it's been a while.

doing a dangerous thing (starting a post at 11:30 pm)

i may be autistic. this is what this post is gonna be about i guess. cause it's been a present topic again recently and i need to kind of get used to claiming that descriptor for myself.

playing Dracula (1986) (part 1)

in researching for my vampire-themed semester project from last year, i stumbled upon Dracula, a video game from 1986 for the Commodore 64. at the time, i had a first try at playing it, but died pretty early on and then got quite busy and trashed my laptop and generally just didn't come around to starting it up again. but today, Lilly Ashton's post about bad Atari 2600 games inspired me to give Dracula another go. so come and witness with me the horrors that our boy jonathan harker must endure.
