recently ive made a lot of very big changes in my life. i dont like to divulge my personal stuff online because i would prefer those things be separated and not turn my life into "content". anyways

i don't want to continue making the form of dense satirical political art that ive come to be (kinda) known for around here. that whole thing started with this post specifically, "pinkamena diane pie's master plan". i remember the night that i made it fondly, staying up all night with  kynivoid and created something that put into visuals that i could never manage with words. at the time i was seriously racking my brain on how to even make political art in the first place, and it all came to me as a lightning strike. something infinitely adjustable and fun to create, all while venting some very real anger i have with american society. and honestly, seeing that post is nearly 3 years old now, i think i had a good run with it. it satirized the real world with furry art and was a good thing to make!

but

the world is very different than it was 3 years ago. biden was still president, syria was still in civil war, liz truss just resigned and october 7th JUST happened. today america is eating itself, israel is committing to wiping gaza off the map and far right politics are sweeping through liberal democracies in japan, the eu, and eastern europe. the internet is devolving every day, reality is harder to parse, and people have become adjusted to a world of endless political violence. noise has eaten everything. violence is rising. and i think contributing more to all of this is the wrong thing to do. i think spending all of your time online and arguing with right-wingers is actually making things worse. i am guilty of this.

this art that i made was a premonition. it worked as that, as a reflection of what i thought the world was turning into. but should i keep making it now that the world is whats shown in my art? i don't think so. i want to take a step back and do new things. its funny, now i am in a similar spot that i was in years ago before i started making all this stuff. i don't really know what i want to make. but i will keep making art, and i am confident something new will come to me.

if you would like to revisit this style of art i have a folder on here: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....94707/density/
plus an alt  palantir

if you would like to continue to see politcal art from me, read my webcomic: https://www.childrenofbabylon.com/
i have been working on it quite a lot! it is a lot more slower paced, and thoughtful that i think political art should be from me right now. you should also join the discord server!!

thanks for being here and reading this!
