And just making a ton of art in general. For the past like\u2026 Week or so, I have been doing at least a sketch on the way home. By that, I mean, I stop somewhere along the route home and sketch. Unfortunately\u2026 I also dropped my expensive rotring 800 while sketching yesterday. (Or well, the day before since it\u2019s past midnight.) Arghs. Not sure if I can still find it\u2026 But I\u2019ll take a look tomorrow\u2026 It is on the way to work after all. Sigh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started sharing my urban sketches to instagram, thought I should update it more\u2026 But the whole AI scrapping thing is really putting a bad taste in my mouse\u2026 Like. Yeah there\u2019s way more people using instagram\u2026 But\u2026 I don\u2019t know. But I\u2019ll be posting a lot more on Cara for now. And I think more people are flocking to Cara now precisely because of these AI issues. A schoolmate and acquaintance of mine (and a professional, accomplished, photographer) made the app, specifically for artists. It\u2019s definitely built with professionals in mind\u2026 And I\u2019m not sure how it\u2019ll grow as a place for more casual artists like myself etc. The app is still in beta and it\u2019s still early days\u2026 But whatever. I\u2019m gonna give it a go and see. I haven\u2019t been using instagram much after they switch the feed format\/algorithm anyway. I just go in, see if my close friends posted any new stories, and at most scroll 5 items into my feed then get out. I definitely used instagram a lot less after the change because I mostly only want to see the stuff my friends post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here is my cara profile. Make an account and follow me there!<a href=\"https:\/\/cara.app\/themessydeskxyz\">https:\/\/cara.app\/themessydeskxyz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also liking the 5000 character count limit on Cara. It\u2019s longer than instagram and I kinda\u2026 treat it like a microblog as well. I guess it is what I make of it after all, who\u2019s to tell me how I should or should not use it? After all the twitter\/X nonsense and now facebook with it\u2019s Meta AI shit\u2026 Yeah a lot of people went to like mastodon and stuff? I haven\u2019t used it at all lol. Maybe I should\u2026 But for now I\u2019ll be posting my art stuff on Cara, and post longer backstories and thoughts and what not there. Mini blogs. Not as time consuming as my full blown blogs like this one, but something I\u2019d be able to do way more often\u2026 So do check out my profile there. I\u2019ve been posting all my urban sketches there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright. It\u2019s really late and I really should get some sleep.
