About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed as autistic Level 1, with mild ADHD. The impact it's had on the way I view myself, and how I perceive the world, has been striking. Being late-diagnosed has led to plenty of insights, and even more questions. Making art helps me cope. #art #audhd

Here's a low-poly Scrapper I modeled in PolysketchVR. I took it into Blender to tweak some of the proportions and make it manifold for 3D printing. Then I took it into Nomad Sculpt for some quick renders. #art #illustration #audhd #flowstate #mech #mecha #robots #scrappers #polysketchvr #3dprinting

I've come to understand that I needed to approach it with some sort of novelty, some hook to keep the dopamine flowing, hence the VR and 3D printing. As a result, I've accomplished more with 3D in the last few months than I've ever managed to before, and the progress has been sustainable.

I spent decades trying to get comfortable with 3D modeling and sculpting, but it never quite stuck. I'd eventually get frustrated by the tedium, get bored and lose interest, and felt ashamed that I couldn't stick with it. Post-AuDHD diagnosis, I realized it was because of how my brain worked.

Mech doodle first pass made in VR with Gravity Sketch. I'm hoping I can get proficient enough with GS for it to be a useful tool in my 3D-printing endeavors. #art #illustration #neurodivergent #adhd #autism #audhd #flowstate #mech #mecha #robots #scrappers #gravitysketch #metaquest #vr

Marwen is a great nonprofit organization that offers no-cost visual arts classes, workshops and mentorship for Chicago youth. I attended Marwen when I was in high school and the experience I gained there was incredibly valuable.

Just dropped the Boop Prime figurines off at Marwen for their annual Art Fair. Tickets for the October 17th exhibition and auction are available now at artfair.givesmart.com!

I was diagnosed at age 51. What the diagnosis helped me do was challenge pretty much every perception that I had of myself, and also to re-direct how I self-care. Therapy with the knowledge that I'm neurodivergent has been so much more effective (and healing) as well; I now allow myself some grace.
