Just making it known that I, too, am watching all of your video in friendship- cheering you on in your endeavors and sympathizing in your struggles. It is good to know you in this way, its rather personal and I admire your bravery in being so forthcoming. So rarely do people get to see the life behind the artwork, the distractions, the sacrifices, the phobias and the triumphs in posting the final work. Its something only our kindred spirits could fully comprehend, that shared experience.
I really enjoy watching these to get me pumped to work, seeing how others struggle with procrastination or self-doubt in the skills, its a universal trait that we can push through together. I am just not technologically savvy enough to make my own.
As for feeling disconnected, there seems to be meccas of Voiders-I've met quite a few in person over the years- used to be Chicago, now SoCal, Germany, London, Oz... but people on the outside should still be in the loop.
The modern marvel of Skype means we're never more than phone call away from face to face. So even with out globe spanning clan of creators, we can be the best of friends and cultivate meaningful relationships through our art, stories we share, podcasts, chatroom and particularly Skype. Since Void meetups don't happen terribly often, especially for those in the distant reaches, face time is crucial for that human aspect.
Maybe we could get a Skype listing going.
