Heh. So much I could say.

Thank you for the wonderful comment about my art. :)

I've had my fill of the corporate world though. I'm thoroughly disillusioned with it and don't ever intend to go back. I'm retired, out of the rat race. I live below my means as it is so every year, I get a little richer, without me having to do a single thing. I have a beautiful life now. Went through a long nightmare to get it.

And I have a hearing impairment and mental illness, which are additional hurdles I have to deal with.

I have a beautiful life now. I live really well for a low income mentally ill person. I live in a rainforest, surrounded by nature, with all the free time I could want, to do anything I can afford. I don't have any money problems anymore and I can't be fired.

There is more I want to accomplish. The mental illness gets in the way. So I do my best to build a beautiful life despite that.

Money's nice. I'd love more. But...money makes a great servant, but a terrible master. I'm out of the rat race, for good.

I do things for other reasons than money. Ideal is me getting gobs of money for doing things I used to pay money to do. Wanting to spend my time adding a little joy and kindness and wisdom to the world.

I loved that scene in "The Muppet Movie" where Dom Delouise tries to tempt Kermit out of the swamp with money, fame, fortune. None of it worked until Dom says "You could make millions of people happy". THAT got Kermit's eyes glowing. "...millions of people happy".

So that's why the art, the computer graphics, the animation. I'm mentally ill. I don't know if any of it will ever go anywhere. I'm pathologically reclusive, shunning people due to many traumatic experiences from my past.

But none of that matters. I do my art and my animation, and it's creating a beautiful dream. I loved what Henson did. And Henry David Thoreau.

It would be great if I could find someone honest, with integrity and trustworthy, to handle the sales and marketing and dealing with people aspect of things. But money has a way of bringing out the worst in people. People lie, cheat, steal, kill, for money. What if I didn't have to deal with any of that?

I want to get my movie made--like Henson's "The Muppet Movie" and Lord of the Rings and The Last Unicorn. I'd like to get my art made and people see it and love it.

I want to entertain with a message. Life doesn't have to be a nightmare. People don't have to live in perpetual fear of disaster. The world doesn't have to be mean. We don't have to be fighting each other over scraps left by the Ruling Masters. The world doesn't have to mean an ugly life for all but the privileged few. Anyone can have a beautiful life. We can make the world work for everyone. A movie about compassion and wisdom and courage and casting off dark illusions that keep us imprisoned in misery.

So that's the hidden part of what my movie is about, disguised as high fantasy adventure. That's my main project.

Offering my art for sale online and in galleries would be terrific, too. Wish I had Henson's skill at assembling a team of amazing people. Finding a people person with integrity and kindness to work with who can handle the marketing and sales..is a challenge. But a great idea.

We'll see. Right now still focused on building an inventory of work, and getting the movie made so I have something to show people that's more than just dubious vaporware. Almost all of my art is long gone, lost in the homeless years. I have to rebuild that. And have to reacquire the productivity habits lost in those years. Heal from the damage.

We'll see.
