Alternative on Paper Love Affair

I'm into color-pencils these past days...trying to re-explore and learn even more about this emerging trends (?)  among collectors in the world art scene and engage myself browsing about the medium on the net. Found some very helpful tips and tricks. 

   I wonder how it feels to use Prismacolor (TM), I've heard it was one of the best colorpencil (if not the very best) and of course highly expensive too. For now, I'm using variety of color-pencils mainly Faber-Castell (TM). Found also that Best Buy (TM) exclusively available at National Bookstore is also a good one and also more affordable. But I'm not discounting other student quality pencils since the best materials actually depends on the handler's satisfaction rate.

   While most of my contemporaries are engage in watercolor and pastels as alternative medium, I'm trying to re-direct my attentions on one of the first art materials that I had the most familiarity probably since grade school. I weigh consequences on my head before I decided on this alternative medium (I call this alternative medium since I still prefer to scale the summit of acrylic) by taking visual note from my friends. 
   Master J's group and Sir Fredi's group explore the oil-pastel medium during their sessions. While still other busy themselves in watercolor...and between these choices jamming on my head, and actually almost jump into soft-pastel, a material that I had never used before.....the winner by gut feel is color-pencils by availability of resources. 
   As I've said before that I'm more at ease doing work on paper surfaces than canvas although they said canvas is easier to maneuver. Perhaps, it's my familiarity with various paper grade also which helped me with an advantage on this field. The portability of color-pencils also help in the process since I don't like setting up too many stuff.

Why We Doubt

I was suppose to share here a couple of months ago a video, which had a title "this will shock you,flat earth, this is the reason why i believe that the earth is flat" but then it was deleted, (See sample deleted video below) I don't know, if it is only my slow connections...but there were reports that these things occur very so often, especially during the first wave of this FE craze. Why delete? License issues are often the case put against uploader ... For Education, Discussion, and Information purposes aren't presenter allowed to use portions of issues as exhibit, clarity, and proof?  
   Things like these, when it happened makes it more suspicious....does this happened on other issues? Deep/Dark web as they were labeled do not   reach the mainstream media compared to those petty issues which get into trending lists.    Isn't it worth telling to commoners that there are crazy people like us who believe the Earth isn't a ball? Come on, you had put into headl…

Naturally, those that have the Financial means to travel the Art scene arrives on Top of the Food chain faster, while the Struggler who has very Little resources would have to rely purely on their Talent. But as they say, "Talent alone does not guarantee success."  So down there at the base of the ladder you'll get eaten by the Established Names barely making any sound of struggle at all.  Sometimes you'll cry "Foul" but the Referee and the audiences favor the smell of success which obviously by Their standard you lack the stink to begin with.  Don't blame the masses, it is natural for them out-of ignorance and delusion to side with The Big Time. Art is a business after all, no matter how Hopeless Romantic tries to fabricate a better definition of it, it is all about the Money. The prestige of having a Wall filled with the Famous names can be addicting you know.  Calm down, but Rare as as they may seems, believe me, as much as I myself is trying to believe …
