Coming to grips with my own mortality
They could be coming at me without just cause
Just because I was born the way I am
The feeling sad to say isn't new to me
It’s one I have had my whole live
The fear sets in once again
The hatred felt so strong
Without cause
Or reason
Just blind
Where is the love
Compassion
Choosing to see our best in others
Uplifting
Growing
Healing the great divide

✌️😁
Appreciate it 💕
The AMA (Ask Me Anything) is now in session for the /bigenergy fam! Please feel free to leave your questions below this post. Do me a favor and if you see somebody else has asked the question to check it out first. I understand when it comes to long threads it can be a little bit intense. I am extremely excited to take this time and be able to chat with y'all. My crazy knowledge is from all over the place so thank you so much. There is also a fan art contest on the way so keep your eyes open!
who are you? how do you identify yourself and what? what resonates with your core? what makes you feel alive? what are you here to do? what is what comes to your awareness when you ask yourself, who am i?
LOL you are great and know that. Asking the hard-hitting questions here JP. I'm here to create and just live in the moment when I can. Channel my higher self to seek out wisdom in the here and now. I just am and hope to change the world in some way so we all can share it together.
what are you doing when you feel that this is more fluid/clear/sincere? how does it feel in your body?
After 3 decades of being an artiste what would you say you still struggle with the most when it comes to making art ?
Marketing is more of my challenge than creating the artwork itself. When it comes to making art and getting blocked I have so many outlets from asking friends and fellow creators to revisiting my old prompts. I even go to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping and Meditation if needed as well. Or I will pick up the tool in my other hand and continue to see if a change in perspective can shed new light on the situation.
You’ve acquired so much experience over the years to always create regardless of how you’re feeling at the point, love it Have you found any effective marketing strategy yet or you’re still trying yo figure it out ?
What’s your creative process like ? Do you always just have an idea of what you want to create or you most times just go with the flow
Unless I create characters esp for my D&D|RPG obsession or more things from life that I have a way or end goal I tend to go with the flow. If you see most of my artwork I have been minting all month I have the concepts in my mind and text if I want it for the AI to generate or I hope for spaces to write in the words. I become an itteration and generation machine until I come accross that eureka moment and find that piece to spark the story.
How do you decide which medium to use for each project
Since I tend to do AI it's more when the mood strikes to switch things up or I acquire more materials I want to play with. Painting and charcol takes the most prep work and thought behind when and where.
You've been an artist for over 3 decades Beautiful Do you feel art in general has lost its value over the years? If yes, can you give your 2 cents on this... especially from your experience :)

Hey fam wassup🖤 So what was your very first medium and how you feel today thinking about your firts piece?
The "first" medium that I can as a child or "adult" TBH it'd been so long. I'm curious what my first actual piece was. As a child I painted on premade clay pieced, finger painted to create artwork and of course my crowning achievement that got recognized in about first grade was a felt clown with a flower that shot water it was all 2D cutouts yet the teacher was so impressed it was put up for a class exhibit. As I grew my parents found outside classes so I could learn to paint and use acrylics. We had images as references and I still love the feeling of cleaning brushes its a dirty job yet the paint is so squishy. When I got to high school all I wanted to do was take photographs and was so lucky to be in the age of the darkroom era.
Aww this is so sick fam🫠🖤 You’ve been creating since forever so cool✨🫂
I'm loving this Jacque back story!!! more of this please!!! did you like being in the dark room? what kind of photographs did you like taking back then?
If you could choose one historical art movement to be a part of, which one would it be?
You’ve spent a long in this field Jacque, what do you find to be a major motivator, You or people that keep accepting and acknowledging your work ?
My biggest motivation is to continue to create so I stretch that metaphorical muscle. It's important to do it for yourself and if others like it that is an added bonus.
Admire this perspective Motivation should be internal, and everything external should merely be an addition
Still looking forward to your response @jacque

Hey @colin, love the mini app format but I can't scroll it..
Had to go on my computer for spacing tho. Really would LOVE better options of writing poems on the go. It’s so hard to deal with gaps in between the wrong things.
