30 Days

Based on the Critbot.ai review I changed the composition of The Beginning to become the lifecycle of a fly, from larve, to grub, to fully formed adult, to death. I also changed the cherubs with wasps. I feel this is much more unified. In the process, I learned that a fly with wings only lives up to 30 days. That amazes me. I recommend regular feedback and critiques. There are a few sites on Facebook and once Critbot.ai goes into production it will become invaluable to artists.

I also recommend the study of art history. I promise you that if you give it a chance it will mesmerize you with epiphany after epiphany and if you ever want to become a serious artist you will be able to plant a flag and know where you fit on the timeline of history.

There is no escaping categorization. Most of the art we see these days is Naive Expressionism, a form of Outsider Art. Personally, I under my registered trademark Shoosty cross many styles and concepts. I move very quickly between them and try to immerse myself in each one. I spent years studying NW Indian Art, to the point of being able to see the difference up and down the West Coast of North America.

A note about The Beginning. That piece will now be discontinued. It will be a series of one. Given that there is an entire story around if that led to the next version 30 Days, making The Beginning a unique collector’s piece.
