Beware - World Gallery Submission- Scott Uminga. - When the card Behold! was announced as the name, I kept calling it Beware! and it sort of just stuck with me. I think I'm known for my netspace orbs so it a weird way it's not a surprise to see

I did the art for Behold!, so when it received its name. I kept thinking and calling it Beware!  So I had to manifest an illustration that could bear this word. I usually leave the interpretation to the viewer. But I like that there is a fine balance to its composition. It looks like it's suspended in netspace, but at the same time could crush the runner at any moment. I believe I’m known for my orbs so I hope this doesn’t disappoint.

Greetings to my Fans, Family, Friends, Followers and Fellow Artists. Thanks for sticking around me this year. In regards to updating my socials. I find that I tried to get into a groove. But with things changing it might have been put on the back burner. I really hope to document and share with the world more of what interests me, and the pieces I create. There’s also a restlessness in me that wants to find communities and circles that share these fascinations. I was talking to my cousin the other day, and I mentioned how the year went by and spent time waiting. But realized during those periods of quiet, that there was time for me to do things I wanted to create for myself. I’ll make sure to seize these moments without pressure to really go forward.

Some reflection notes from 2023. I found I added at least a few more 3d Elements and particles into my art. And building my own codex of shapes has excited my psyche. It's like a new set of brushes that gives a twist to my body of tools. I hope to make more traditional illustrations and drawings with poetic ties, because I think I’ve been separating my own arts for most of my life. And I really want to just say “This is all part of me”.

I’m going to jinx myself. But with the year nearing an end. I find there were events and synchronicities that have been frequenting me like it did pre covid. And there have been moments where my schedule and things in life just end up being at the right time, or happens right after another. There are times I get anxious leading up to these things and when the time comes, it all just comes out fine. And I’m relieved that it happened. I really want to remember, cherish and carry these 2023 moments of feeling adventurous and comfortable again.

I want to think 2024 will become a significant year. And I’m going to really try exercising that creative muscle and produce whatever comes to mind. Remember to go at your own pace, and also reach out to those important to you and the ones who made and make life exciting. <3Scott.
