Hellooooooo, says I while I rise from my cave, it's me, that gal that posts once every 7 months lol

So, I've been busy - not much in art but you know my job now is that I make websites so I guess I'm going to show you ! I am currently working on my portfolio, this is one version, I am making another one with Wordpress on which I'll put a blog and a shop as well, as I am thinking about leaving Etsy. So here is the bootstrap version (no custom javascript on it because we're just learning to do this at the moment): http://clementine.defiweb34.com/site-portfolio/

And here are some of the websites I've been working on: https://www.lp-store.fr/ - actual store I've made with my coworker for our internship The rest is mostly exercices like those two: http://clementine.defiweb34.com/exo-3_site-soins-v2/ http://clementine.defiweb34.com/eval-mogi/

And art wise, I've not been doing much because I am still having some serious executive dysfunction and it's just hard altogether - in my job it's actually easier because I have incentive, you know what I mean - for the store website I did I've made one illustration I am quite proud of. It's not really my usual style but it looks fun and I like it a lot:

Also I still do a lot of quick sketches, I'll show some of em but rn I'm supposed to work actually :o)

And on a more personal note I have been diagnosed with ADHD (and been denied autism diag because they basically decided I talked too well 🙃 - and I received a report from the specialists tm being 99% inaccurate recollection of stuff they think I've said (I've written a 8 pages doc for my psychiatrist to list everything they misunderstood & interpreted wrong which is what they based their diagnosis on). I'm tired x) (hence why I'm not trying to get a diag again for now, I'm too tired).

Hello! I haven't posted much since last time bc my phone just said nope, fuck this to life and stopped working, then I tookback the old one but had a case of executive dysfunction considering logging in my apps. 🫠

Well since last time I sort of got a job in web development (mostly front end / web design) - i don't know if there's an equivalent of this type of contract in English but to explain, I am learning the job, I have a formation, and at the same time I am doing the job and get paid for it. Part time doing part time learning you see what I mean?

And paid for it. I have a SALARY 🥲🤌🤌🤌 I've been living on state help for a long time, not gonna lie it's good having a little extra money. I've never been paid so well (I'm having the minimum wage but it's more than I've ever had).

Anyway so it's going to be for six months and then six more if my contract is renewed, and at the end of it I'll officially have the web developer title 😃

I'm very happy ☺️

Since I hadn't access to the app (nor the website bc I barely log on my laptop if not to watch movies and check mails these days) in the past weeks it's possible I've missed some messages/comments, I'm sorry if I seemed to ignore you 😬

what even is the point anymore

Do you love doing what you do?

Ignore the haters, the idiots, the people who drain your energy with their negativity.  Block them out.  Step back from the fight, however worthy you find it, because you’re right, but they’re idiots who don’t care so they won’t listen to your valid and factual arguments.

Do you love doing what you do?  Does the act of doing it bring you a sense of fulfillment?  When you’ve finished a thing, do you sit back and smile, nay, grin, at what you have accomplished?

That’s the point.

thank you for this. i do love what i do and that is the point. i guess everything that's been happening really makes me question if that can be enough. it's not just about art being stolen and chopped up, it's the whole mindset. I'm less upset over the art theft than the thought that in the near future all we'll have will be art and movies and novels and everything made by AI. because quantity > quality. putting effort into something is seen as a waste of time. this whole shitshow has proven that most people are ready to embrace such a future. every day we're moving farther and farther away from what makes us human. they call that progress but it's not. making art isn't a job that is supposed to be done more quickly or more efficiently. idk. there's so little to look forward to.
