kradeelavI don't usually post art things here buuuuut y'all may enjoy this one:
enjoy a free gift of a whoppin' 1.29 GB file collection of nine years / 2440+ pieces of my artwork. :') Including ~all~ old works that were paywalled on patreon, many i'll never post online, and a whole ass comic pitch.
zip link on mediafire // ( contains nsfw art )
man i feel really good?? it feels strangely momentous in the sense i'm putting my whole ass out there, like, sheesh, nine years of art with some pretty private doodles added in there was something I slept on for a few days to really make sure I wanted to do this. came back from the mountain trip thinking about abstract-isms like "legacy" and "now that i've completed promotion goals, what do i want to be known as, art wise" n' that kind of long term thinky-thoughts. how can i truly put my money where my mouth is, and after framing it like that, it kinda became a "why haven't I done this before?" no-brainer.
i just hope i don't end up regretting it (went though it several times to make sure NDA/private info was scrubbed). :v there's a handful of potentially controversial doodles (eg the usuals and the shota comic i was drawing once lol) but i kind of highly doubt an anti would take the effort to download ... shit .... and y'know look through it.
between moving to linux (hopefully! soon! found a IRL acquaintance who has the technical chops to help) and this, i'm starting to really sound like one of those old cranky 'open source all the things / information wants to be free!!' bros xD

I made this dump publicly available for several reasons:
(1) I believe strongly in the old "information wants to be free" internet where monetization was a cancer. Posting *all* of my work publically (and therefore rendering it unmonetizable) is the finest and most incisive "fuck you" to every corporation and corrosive grifter I can imagine as of now. (Let me know if you find of a finer one.)
(2) I wish for this to be a profound and more abstract encouragement to artists who are just starting in their drawing lives -- whether out of passion, career, defiance, in service to a cause or something alltogether different. You do not have to fit a "brand" to be an artist, and I encourage you to actively strive away from one. I started my creative life drawing random ass game characters as a middle school student. I am now a design manager for a brand you've heard of, been published, invited to a gallery show, had my work torrented, and still drawing random ass game characters. Live your dreams. :)
(3) I imagine my site (kradeelav.com) to be a stable home for my art during my lifespan; but in the unforseen event of censorship or the site going down for unforseen events, may this dump be a living, practical, -- and honest --legacy.
(4) Seeing other artist's dumps -- particularly ones that don't shy away from shitty teenage doodles, erotics, or earnestness -- is always fun, and I'd like to pay forward.
