I'm cleaning out my gallery. I'm beginning to be able to let go of my past. Plus a lot of them were quite crappy. Some I still fancy. A number made me laugh, and made me think WTF was I thinking when I did that, or why in the world did I think that this shit was good?

All in all, I need to move on. I've been stagnant for way too long. I say I want to move on, but I'm still holding on. I think that is why I've been lacking inspiration. There was nothing that I was looking forward to. Just the same ol same ol.

And, I too do clean up my 'favourites' once in a while. Same thing goes through my mind, what made me like this in the first place? But I do miss that feeling, kind of like that first love. Everything makes you feel in awe. I miss that feeling of not knowing shit, and thinking 'how'd he/she do that?'. It's like when a magician reveals his secrets, the magic is gone ya know?

Anyway, I'm feeling this surge of 'new things to come'. It just maybe another one of those feelings just passing through. I just hope it sticks around for a while.

You're wonderful. You always post things that make me think, whether it's your journal or a new deviation. :love:

Good idea, at least for me. I usually let things gather dust and never go back and review them. I think that's why my place is so cluttered with books :-(

Yeah I tend to keep things for too long, tends to get really messy and cluttered. Just need to get it out, a breath of fresh air they say.

I was thinking that one way to choose would be to measure the thickness of the dust that settles on things :-)

:/ I'd prefer for artists to use storage, since it's usually nice for fans to see how an artist progresses.

True. But some really have to go. I still do keep them though. As much as I think it is crappy now, I still value them, and they are still precious in some ways. Like you said, 'the progression'. Reminds me of how I started.

Not forcing my opinion on anyone. I'm doing this because I want to.

your ARE forcing.
see, you want to delete stuff because it is YOU who doesn't like the ones YOU selected.
that does not apply to your fans.

so you're basically pissing off every fan of yours who has an at least little different taste in things than you have. and by completely deleting stuff you actively deny them the option to still view the stuff THEY like. that's forcing.

please just un-feature them, so they won't be shown in your gallery, but are still available to watch : /
