Simultaneous Evolutionary Jumps
A long time ago, I wanted to be an artist. Perhaps not so long ago. I love the process of doodling, and creating something special. There was a time where I pursued the idea of drawing, but for some reason, I thought there was no future in drawing, not to mention, I could never [...]
