Unfortunately I haven't been recording the rituals - I'm attempting to set up a recording studio where I can do so, but I'm planning to move in the near future so it's a bit on hold.

Thanks! I made quite a few paintings this last week due to stress (specifically job interviews over the phone are NOT fun for me) so hopefully I'll be able to photograph and post a few more for you!

LOL at tower defense map!

Yeah I like the perspective of berries in the snow, with small animals (mice/birds) leaving their tracks!

I hadn't seen it as a battle field before - nice!

I'm a westerner who lives in Hawaii, which has a strong Japanese influence... could be why it has that kind of general theme.

Hmmm I like the idea of the red representing rage against tranquility - this would be very true for my personal style.

For writing, I find making an outline of what I want to talk about very helpful. You mentioned ideas and feelings you want to impart - write those down as single sentences in some order that makes sense to you, then fill in your writing around those sentences.

Businesses do take a lot of time! I prioritized startups while in school and my grades suffered a lot. On the other hand, I learned the skills that got me my current job.

I'm glad to hear you're seeking feedback from people you trust! Good luck on your idea.

Hmmmmm

Don't be afraid to discuss your ideas for feedback and criticism... often the work barrier is much higher than the originality of the idea, so people rarely steal and implement your idea. It can happen though...

I am glad my painting stimulated such an interesting interpetation! The painting makes a lot of sense as a cross section of the subject's brain.

I'm glad that you liked the process and rationale - that's what I liked about my painting. I do think it's a mess, and I do like it because it's a mess.
