This tweegeemee drawover kinda just happened to me since I've been having a rough time with some growing pains related to my art.

I was already in a very strange headspace when this generated image showed up on my feed, and instantly reminded me of the lichen encrusted stones I'd pore over fascinatedly when I was young, while out and about with my family. The way they looked like splatters of paint, made by something alive. How I might make my own.

When debating the specifics of the drawover, I considered making the splatters rainbow coloured, much like in Art is Poison and Smoke's visual language - but not this time. Part of what I realized about what it's gonna take for me to succeed in ways that matter to me, as an artist, was that I still didn't feel able to sacrifice in ways that actually matter to it, my art.

This was somewhat cathartic to make, and while there's a lot more for me to process on this front, I just needed to let out some things along the way.
