Thanks, OP. I appreciate the support.

I confess I was in two minds about it, because I got the scarf as a gift, but it was absolutely biting cold, and I was off to a warm home. Had a quick chat, he seemed in good spirits though. So I think there's a good chance he's ok.

Cold snap before christmas I gave the dude my scarf, as no cash, and he had no scarf. It was a good scarf.

You're welcome. I love it when r/Art treats artists like kindergarten kids. I'm being downvoted hard.

Discussion is more valuable to artists than a pat on the head. Even if they don't agree, which OP is welcome to do.

I totally agree it must be hard. Depends how you work, but you will find quite a bit of hard hitting information on growing up with threat over time if you check the journals for child PTSD in Ukraine and Israel. I'm more of an academic than an artist, so I thought it might give you more insights to work in.

On a positive note I didn't give you enough credit for clarity and composition, looking at it again. Appreciate the discussion.

I hate leaving negative comments, but this feels like a straight line comment of blood on kids. Bit obvious for such a serious issue.

I like it. Asymmetry flips my needles.

I too am old. This is literally why we invented bees.

Agreed. The future belongs to people who bring AI into human endeavour like a shepherd and sheepdog.

I think you underestimate how inspiring really beautiful people are just by existing. It's like living on a mountain. So I'm told.

Does this mean if you are a big baddie you can't hurl your enemies into a black hole?

Asking for a friend.

Just not true. A machine intelligence would a far more reliable dealer.

Lot of distilleries are selling gin to smooth cash flow.

In before that bloke shows up to claim this isn't real.

I have a friend who will love this.

Definitely keep doing art. Keep this. However, I think you will look back on it a little ruefully. I think this is why you asked the question.

It's alright, lad. Everyone wonders if their galaxy is normal.

Is there a play on how china was one of the first industrial objects, this pattern china was made in factories as part of the industrial revolution? And that now we think of it as antique and lovely?

Because burgers are industrial. Will they become iconic and be in Sothebies?

Or am I just over tired?
