In the summer, I often draw very little or not at all. This summer is no different. Currently, we have very hot weather, and I can hardly wait for autumn to begin. For me, the best time of the year starts from mid or late September, with Halloween and Christmas.
However, I can't go completely without drawing, even in the summer, but it's mostly sketches that I do (which I don't always share). Some time ago, I bought the new iPad that came out this year. It was a good upgrade from the one I bought 5 or 6 years ago, and I draw on it more often than with my WACOM graphic tablet. It's just very convenient, and it's also a lot of fun to draw with it :) One of the best purchases I made this year.

I remember back in the day, many years ago, there were quite a few art blogs. Many artists even had their own websites. It seems like this has faded away with the rise of social media, which I totally understand. I stopped maintaining an art blog too – even though I tried to get back into it several times, it never lasted long. I needed something new, but there weren’t any real alternatives for me.
My very first blog was on Blogger/Blogspot. Then I tried Tumblr and another platform whose name I’ve forgotten (I think it was Live Journal?). In the end, I kept coming back to Blogger because it felt like I had the most freedom for the things that mattered to me. Like many providers (including my last website provider IONOS), I feel like not much has changed over the years. It’s like after 10 or 20 years, they still have the same features as back then. As times change (and so do we), we might want something new – and I did too.
So, I eventually rebuilt my old website with WIX as my new provider, mainly because it also has a decent blog feature. I’m not sure if I’ll stick with WIX forever or if I’ll look for something new in a few years (if this provider doesn’t evolve or if the subscription no longer fits my price/performance expectations).
I'm really excited about a new era where I can document my thoughts and creative process, all accessible in one place on my website www.seena.at ^____^
