# Mind Full of Art, Heart of Emptiness There is so much going on in my mind. There are so many things I want to create. From wanting to go full force into Blender, to wanting to learn to do nothing but draw so that I can rely only on my own talents and not rely on any other software. From wanting to drop art entirely and learn to use the Blender API via code, so I can create art with only code? Now that would be something that is fairly cool. But perhaps I can do some storytelling via videos and editing, I'm fairly decent at editing; I ain't winnin' no awards any time soon, but I think I've figured out how to hold 'some' level of attention. Or perhaps, I should just go back to the origins of it all, and write. Write until there is nothing left to write, or until the world takes over with it's bullshit of full digital control, until there is nothing left to care about, and fight back for the sake of fighting back is all we have left. I decided to go back to the root of all things I enjoyed, especially on YouTube; Photo Manipulation. It made me so sad that so many of my favourite YouTubers have stopped posting art videos and speed edits, all because AI is slowly taking over and rotting humanity. Does that mean they were never into it in the first place? They did it for the views and the likes? They did just because it was attention? I hate that. I thought they did it because it was what they loved doing, so AI or not, they would continue, even though they made it very well known that they didn't want AI or at least generative tools anywhere near their work. So I seek to become the thing I've lost, and hope I can provide that for others. Even if I don't, I know I'll enjoy it and I can just continue doing it, and if I do evolve into video editing or Blender or Digital Painting, then I guess I'll take that too. // END
