Anyone ever look at all the brilliant images they find (& maybe even privately collect) across the internet, but then stop & realize that, really, virtually none are sanctioned for any schmo to personally use on the open web, despite being so easy to copy/paste, save, &/or implement? ~& then after doing a bit of research, find that the brilliant online artists who've done the strikingly beautiful works you've deeply enjoyed the most, by & large don't even accept commissions, -tho when seen joking about it, proclaim their prices would be in the +2k range-... ^.__.^~
For some odd reason I can't explain now, I don't think I can browse these philomena project sites, or look at any image anywhere else on the web ever the same way, tbh. I think, I want to try getting into making art myself, tho the fact that so many making what I like the most online are practically tenured young professionals with other talented hobbies as well (& that I think even know & speak to one another as their own private cliques) is perturbing.

It's strange rlly, cuz I think someone I talked to a few days ago said he felt nearly the same way I do now, tho I think it was over that new ''Hellraiser'' thing. He says he plays the harmonica & piano himself tho as a hobby, while I haven't done much of anything at all artistically expressive to similar degrees of my own within my lifetime. ^~>__>~^
No idea why, but this somehow reminds me of how Adam Reed described what inspired him to make the Archer TV series, when he was vacationing in Salamanca, Spain.
"~''So I sat on the Plaza Mayor for three days—drinking either coffee or beer or gin, depending on the time of day—surrounded by these Spanish women who seemed both unaware and completely aware of their beauty. Occasionally they would glance over—and catch me gaping at them—and just smile at me like, 'I know, right?' And for three days, I couldn't even splutter 'Buenos dias' to any of them—not once. And thus was Sterling Archer born—he would've absolutely sauntered over to a table full of those women and sat down and ordered an entire case of cava or whatever.''~":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_(2009_TV_series)#Development
