a brief note on “process videos”

I don’t and won’t make “process videos” because, one, I have no clue what I’m doing as is and therefore dedicate all my concentration to not cutting off limbs and/or setting myself on fire; and two, I’m enough of an internet boomer (young Gen-X or ancient millenial cusper that my 1981 self is) to remember the last time “share your process” was all the internet rage, back in 2006-2013, give or take, and to remember those dark days, weeks, months, and years that I was vulnerable, green, and hopeful enough to waste what creative energy I had back then on it with precisely fuckall to show for it now so pardon me if, in this, the video / hey guys era of process (videos), I’m resolved to keep my practice and my limbs to myself – though I’m sure a TikTok of an old shit like me losing a finger would be a total viral sensation but nonono/sorry: the most you’d get would be is a little run-on grotesque like this typed with nine fingers or less on the internet equivalent of a cuneiform scroll (insert blogs rool / toks drool or somesuch chant of the internet-old and infirm). Dog videos on the other hand? Count me in.
