Rorschach 12 is the end of this series and one away from the end of this year of daily posts. A strange spidery bit with beautiful colors. Those yellows are so worth it.

This year was a hard trawl. Mostly a task of commitment and follow through. It was difficult to hold it together.

In a society that is based on Facebook likes it was extremely difficult. Watching someone reposting a three month old post and getting more likes than something I myself did was a harsh lesson. One I won’t soon forget.

But then I started to notice how much I would slip. I would suddenly realize that I hadn’t checked the likes or stats for a couple of days. That really brought the point home.

And still the work posted. No reactionary crashing or passive aggressive withdrawal from the world or work. Fuck the world.

It definitely toughened me up. Made me question the pitiful amount of ideas I have glossed over. But it also made me want to go hard. Get ready.
