Time To Dust Off The Page & Clean Out The Closet
5 years ago
I know that for far too long this page has been completely void of any new material/content.
Hell, for a while there, I had merely just turned into the pity-worthy depressing wretch whose life seemed to have been nothing but a comedy-of-errors. Yeah, I don't really miss that (now) inbetween period that my life had become, and tired of this page being a reflection of that through previous journals. Also, while the Flowtac persona/moniker still acts as the mascot for my creative self, it hasn't been personally relevant to fully reflecting me in a decade, and due to that...
(blows away all the dust & crap)
Begone!
I am refreshed and it's time to start anew on here. Granted, some will argue that I might be doing a poor job of that, considering my new uploads as of recent are from older photography pieces that I did in-world on Second Life. Okay, I'll give you that but hear me out. When I did these pieces, I always conceived them to be art pieces and so would capture/compose them in a manner to reflect that through the limits of the medium that I had available that also acted as the inspiration. But I always wanted to do more with them, to make them into what I saw them as.
Well, now that photomanipulation technology has evolved so damn much, it has allowed me to revisit them and turn them into what I initially envisioned. Some will argue that that is still cheating and has no merits. You're entitled to that, especially if this style isn't for you. But I did put my own amount of work & creativity into the composition of these, as well as converting them into their current state, so they still feel like they have merit to me. Plus, they have re-awakened some inspiration into me. I might even use this style to make new pieces, perhaps even transformation-based sequences, as well as the occasional "poetic/poignant" piece.
God, I am such a pedantic fucker with how I handle my language. xP
Anyway, suffice to say, I am back for the moment and hope that you enjoy the new art/direction.

Curiously, do you have any requests?
Perhaps I ought to film them too & upload the videos... I would probably make a fortune... :p
