Constraints impose discipline, otherwise creative output is inconsistent or nonexistent. Countless have dripped paint onto canvas, or action painted, but Jackson Pollock did so with such completeness and methodological conformity that his use of strict constraints is obvious. He used only certain colors, for example, of only specific liquid paints. Treating a piece uniformly, intentionally...

ickybones asked: The side menu can there be new options to have that on the left or on the top of the layout? Also can there be an option to center the layout? since everything is to the left. And I guess an option to make text in different size would be nice too. Oh and a banner option? Sorry if this is asking for a lot. Love the theme though. Simple and with tons of options to choose from always wins me over.

About to throw in the towel and give up on this stop motion Civil War film I’m working on. Just kidding, I’m crazy enough to complete it. It may take years. It may be epic. I just cut out the first paper soldier.
