So this was something I originally planned to release in February, but this also seems like appropriate timing. ^^ Sam Gilliam(1) is a very influential African-American artist who just died last year. According to Wikipedia, “he was recognized as the first artist to introduce the idea of a draped, painted canvas hanging without stretcher bars around 1965.”

Unfortunately, my skills are definitely not great enough to reproduce those draped artworks in-game, so instead I recolored the “ ‘A Stroke’ by Alfred D’Simvo” mesh with some of his artworks that seem to originally be of a square format. All of these artworks were copied from his Wikiart page (2). I highly recommend you check out his art, his catalogue of works is incredibly varied and beautiful. ^^b

If you want the paintings packaged individually: http://simfil.es/3452907/

If you want all seven paintings in one package: http://simfil.es/3452908/

Both contain the above preview picture. These are DEFINITELY NOT mine, so you can’t sell them.

Okay.

Full transparency.

Yes, as I said, I'm a writer, I live to write, getting something published has literally been my life's goal since I learned that authors created the books I was reading.

(It was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and I was four. Exciting moment.)

Disclosure, six months ago - ironically exactly six months ago - I had a stroke. MRI says three hit at once, all in the language centre of my brain. Because I was an idiot, and also thought there was no chance it was happening to me, I did not seek medical attention for five days. Yes, I am an idiot.

Long run, I'm lucky. I only maybe require brain surgery. Maybe more than maybe. I was very lucky. No face effect, no major arm or eye damage...

But.

Writing is not exactly what it used to be, especially on my phone. Looks normal most of the time, but when I'm tired, it's not... normal. That, above? Few days after.

However. Technically writing is safer for me, because I can take a long moment, or google to try and find what the word I'm looking for is. When speaking, most times that's fine too, but not always, and sometimes I need to talk around a word and hope my conversation partner understands the word I'm looking for.

This is not a problem I've ever had while writing. After a day of writing, my right arm feels like its made of wood, and I feel like that's just a reality I need to get used to.

It's not a reality I want to get used to.

Please. Take care of yourselves. Watch your health. Check that you are not genetically predisposed, as I apparently am. I don't know how to check if you are one of the extremely few non-Japanese population individuals who have a rare condition generally only seen on the Japanese islands.

And I hope, desperately, that this didn't change my dreams.
