Goddamn I love everything about this dude, I love the style of your announcement graphic, I love all your reasons behind making this public dump, and I goddamn love your art and haven't had the pleasure of seeing any of your earlier stuff pre-tumblr era so this will be a huge treat!
I'm gearing up to do an art dump of my own later tonight, I've been wanting to do art dumps again for years and this just really reminded me of -why- I wanted to do that, both because it was fun, and because there's something both vulnerable but also authentic about sharing a lot of art that isn't your newest, or your best and most curated, or that is in fact rather personal or even older! I think it's especially important for younger artists to stumble across the progress made by artists they may like online or look up to, especially.
Zarla's art dumps in particular have been a huge influence on my early internet art sharing and style of blogging too, she regularly posts giant round ups of scans from her sketchbooks and hosted pages upon pages of simple text links to hundreds of individually cropped images scanned in from middle, high school and college sketchbooks on her fan sites that I used to spend hours going through and looking at after in my free time.
This is a damn good legacy dude, kudos!
That was just how art was shared back in the day, nothing was cleaned up, people had their asses hanging out in a different way back then.
