A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. Here is another spirit mandala, I made this at the same time as the painting in my last video. I kept jumping back and forth between the two as they called to me. My creative process is rarely just a linear process, I never really know where and how it will exactly go. I hope you enjoy!

I have been wanting to share my thoughts for a while now as to why I use Rumble as my platform of choice to post my videos. There are many reasons why and I try to highlight them in this video. When I first started using Rumble it was only because they were dedicated to being a censorship free platform, but I began researching their company and learned much more about their mission, values, and company, which I hope to share with you. I cover topics such as censorship, cancel culture, the rights of artists to not have their work deleted, monetization benefits of Rumble, other features which Rumble offers artists and creators such as live streaming and subscription service Locals, as well as aspects of Rumble's business which are not very well known yet. For example, I speak about how they are developing an entire alternative internet ecosystem / economy with their Rumble Ad service and Rumble Cloud hosting services, and how I think that these things will make them a very profitable company in the future. These are some of the reasons why I choose to use Rumble as a content creator, but also why I have chosen to invest in Rumble as well. Nothing in this video is investment advice, I have no experience in investment, they are just my personal opinions based on public information, so please do you own diligence and research. I hope you find some of this information useful and helpful. Please subscribe to my channel and help me reach 100 subscribers so that I can gain access to Rumble's livestreaming. Also, check out the other art-related content on my channel. Thanks!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. For me, creating mandalas is like making an art prayer. It is also like taking a screenshot of the inside of my brain. I like making them because they make me feel focused and centered while I am creating them. They take a little longer to make than some of the other kinds of paintings I like to make because they are geometrical, but that can be a fun process to explore. Even though I measured things out and sketch the drawing out beforehand, I try not to focus on making it perfect though. I actually think things look better when they aren't perfect, it makes them feel more human to me. Usually my creative process is more spontaneous than this, so it is fun for me to do these kinds of paintings sometimes. That's what I've been doing recently, but things are always changing.

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. Sometimes making mandalas and geometric styles of art can be really contemplative and peaceful for me, like a small meditative practice. I find the music of Hildegard Von Bingen offers a refuge or solace and sometimes I enjoy creating to her music when I prefer a more meditative art session. Enjoy!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. I like to make these paintings which I call Art Spirits. I think of their presence as being positive and emitting Love and good vibes, warding off negative energy. I enjoy putting them in places to spread their influence and I like giving them to people I care for. This one is a Sentinel of Light, tasked with warding off and lifting one out of darkness Enjoy!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. This was another random reclaimed board which I repurposed to paint on. It started as just a quick sketch, like an afterthought at the end of a different art session outside with my friend. I didn't really care for it much but I felt inspired to paint on it more and see what it would turn into. I like what ended up happening. Although I am a little bummed about losing some footage of the video process. Oh well, live and learn. I'll be more careful about that in the future. Enjoy!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. This painting had humble beginnings as a reclaimed board which had some kind of gross green paint splotches on it. I actually love painting on things which already have random stuff on them. Over a couple of art sessions, (in which my friend @wildfiremoses (IG) makes an appearance), the board becomes transformed into this new image. Enjoy the process!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. This painting was created on a reclaimed / upcycled board of some kind. Then I started by putting some random white paint on it (not recorded). Then I put some other random colors during another paint session. This ended up becoming the basis for what the painting would eventually become. It was painted during a discord video call painting session with my friend @wildfiremoses (IG), who is partly in the video on the lower right. Enjoy! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

A sped up time-lapse displaying the process of a painting I made. This painting was created during an art session I had with my friend, @wildfiremoses (IG). I recently renovated my recording space setup and my recording process. I have been doing most of my painting outside so have not recorded in a minute, but was inspired to do so because my friend and I jumped on a Discord video call to paint together. This painting is the result! Enjoy. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
