I treated myself to a drawing tablet (Android, so on brand) and in the span of about 5 or 6 days, I drew three things for @technicaltea.show that I loved and was proud of. No GenAI. They are very imperfect, but they were all me and joyful and fun. And now I'm just diving back into art.

I was actually quite the "arty" one when I was little. My 5th grade teacher really hoped I would become some kind of an artist, I think, and she always gave me opportunities to express myself and create things. My love of engineering springs very much from the same place.

Especially now when my love of engineering is being tested, burning itself out on this altar to productivity (profit), I find comfort in drawing again. Just me. Imperfect. Not exactly pretty. (Haha, like me?) But feeding that something inside me that is desperate to be nurtured and grow green again.
