“All artists know the Comparison Monkey. He’s anyone who comes along, makes a comparison and says nothing more. Artists hate the Comparison Monkey. He is thoughtless and rude. Surely you can try harder than HIM, right?” ~tvskyle

Regarding my previous post.
I do want to apologize about any misconceptions my last post may have cause, there’s nothing wrong with talking about your feelings, especially when times are rough. And it’s good for people to read it so they can empathize and give you support.
What I’m specifically talking about are the FML posts I see a lot of. Those don’t help anyone, especially not the person posting...

It’s not that I can’t relate to sob stories, but my life has been fantastic.
Let me tell you a little secret: it’s your attitude about what happens to you that makes you happy or miserable. It doesn’t matter what you’ve been given in your life, what matters is what you do with it.
What do you…

Had an amazing moment when the various scrap midi tracks I put aside happened to be too close to my main work area, and I forgot I turned off loop.
Happiest accident I’ve ever had. It was beautiful, and I’m going to keep it. There’s no way I could have written that intentionally.
Dear older generation,
You don’t understand the digital age of art and entertainment. Don’t call my artistic form of expression a waste of time or an unhealthy compulsion. I probably own more books than you do, and the vast majority of my time is NOT spent grinding away at a cheap video game. Like a good book or film, I enjoy quality video games. They are a form of art, and they are the future of story...
Tonight’s amazon splurge was on Gothic Cathedrals, Mosques, Monasteries, and city planning. But mostly Cathedrals. Like a lot of freaking Cathedrals. You’d think that I really like them or something.
It’s like I think I want to be an environment artist more than anything, but I don’t have much environment art to show. I haven’t done ANY architecture concept art. This...
plain-blue-beanie asked: Hey, Makkon! I've been a fan of yours for a while, but I'm honestly curious: How you pronounce your name? Is it may-kon, mack-on, or muh-kon? sorry for a random/weird question x)
facalamina asked: Ay, dude. Really like your music and I was wondering what happened to "The Little Toy Shop"? Sorry if I'm missing something. I really hate to see good things 404. :C
WatchThis is so awesome
So I occasionally go on an Amazon spending splurges. This time it was western European medieval castle diagrams, forts, armor, and early Victorian stencil designs. I need a new bookshelf.
Fry: Why can't stupid people JUST SHUT THEIR FACES THOUGH?!?!
Makkon: That's one of the attributes of stupidity
Makkon: not knowing when to shut up
Fry: Oh God. I understand it now. It all makes sense.
Fry: That makes too much sense.
Makkon: But there's hope, fry
Fry: Please lead the way and be the light here ahahaha
Makkon: STDs
Fry: HAHAHAHAHAH
Fry: HOHO MY GOD SHAHAHA

You know what it helps? Nobody. You know what problems it solves? None.
It is literally a big drama bomb factory, reintroducing tired subjects where people who are ignorant offer the same damn views and opinions, and everyone gets hurt, and very rarely do we see any real progress. Nobody is on…
But Fry, it’s a great opportunity for stupid people to complain in the best...
