*a life where I can make coffee that isn't a punishment to drink

Most of the art I've posted here has had a numbered title. This number is the index it has in my "onesies" series, which originally started on 2013.03.02, with this drawing:

The original intent of it was to force me to draw something every day, no matter how low effort, just to keep it going. It took me until 2023.07.02 to reach #2000, and if you do the math on that you'll find out that that idea didn't really work out.

But, it did still ease the burden on coming up with titles for the drawings, and that's nice. It has since just become my default collection to throw drawings into. There's a few other collections that don't count towards the "onesies index", most notably my yearly desktop calendars.

Now, while reaching the number 2000 is somewhat impressive, it's definitely not the actual number of all drawings I've done. There's a very significant chunk of art prior to the onesies that has been nuked from the internet on purpose, and quite a lot of art that's also out of that sequence. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the total tally is closer to about 3000 now, if not beyond that.

While my earliest work is lost to time, you can nevertheless follow more than a decade worth of art evolution over on my Studio page. It'll neatly categorise things by month, so you can keep track of what happened when and also illustrate what my output happened to be like at any given time.

Sometimes I worry that my stuff has gotten more generic in recent years, but it's honestly really hard to tell that from my own perspective.

What do you think? I'm always really interested to hear what people think about how my art's changed over the years!

And I gotta say, despite the short time I've been here, this has already been by far the best platform I've ever posted my art on. I still don't make "big numbers", I never have, but there's definitely a larger average reaction to things than I've had anywhere else, especially considering that these days I pretty much only post original art anymore, not fan art.

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you continue to enjoy my scribbles!

What do you mean people at work can't login because they pushed a Group Policy update that wrote to the Registry but it included quotation marks (which the Registry Doesn't Like) which made bitlocker poop its pants
