I have been messing with Sonic Pi a lot and coding in general. I really like it. It helps with my anxiety I guess because of the concentration that is involved with it. I mentioned before about maybe turning this into a Pi Skool so to speak and that is still an option in my head. I need to write another to do list soon to get my head back in the game. I did order my banner and business cards so that is one thing I did get done. This may take a minute to think about. I am sitting at the Nazareth diner right now trying to get rid of some brain fog. Alot of times Blogging helps me to get back in the groove of things so that is why I like to do it from time to time. For those that don't know I am Mark T. Wilson and I am an artist, and a creator. I have been doing this art thing for quite some time now. I always seem to end up with new hobbies all the time if you would like to call them hobbies or endeavors is up to you. But the truth is I am a creator and a maker if you will and now that creative need is branching into the world of coding. Why it took so long for me to find coding is beyond me because I did take a coding course before for website design and even back then I found it very interesting. Once I found Sonic Pi it was on. I have always been a musician and for a long time I thought that it was over for me at least in the way of writing songs and trying to get them out to people. Sonic Pi however I feel is a combination of music and art. Perfect for a guy like me. I am 44 right now and I paint and sculpt. But this coding thing I feel is going to take my art to a whole new level. I have so many ideas right now for both applications and video games. I was never even a gamer. So, the question I do have right now for the world is do you think that a guy who was never a gamer can become a video game maker?? I do in fact I think a person who was never a gamer but dabbled in the arts is more likely to make a video game than a person who spent life just playing them. I had this friend a long time ago named Mike. I won't mention any last names. Me and my friends use to sit in his room and smoke pot and such. I wasn't a gamer back then and I am not a gamer now. It drove me crazy that these guys wouldn't leave his room because of video games and of course Mike was the worst one. I never really played games with those guys because they acted like they were geniuses for being able to solve other people's puzzle. Well, this always puzzled me. I remember for a while I would ask Mike "Why don't you learn how to make video games? He never really seemed all that interested.

I am working on a comic and I plan on posting some of that on here real soon for everyone to get a sneak peek. I was just currently working on my banner and business cards so I should be ordering them soon. I finally joined the Forks area arts society and I was already asked to do demos. This would be a great way to make a few good courses for my Skool.com. Like I have mentioned this is set to hobby mode for now. Truthfully I do a lot and this is the last on my to do list. But If I do the classes for Forks I will probably kill to birds with one stone and start focusing on this more. So stay tuned for that. I will be blogging more on here so also if you enjoy my blog post spread the word on this community. -Mark T. Wilson

I started coding music with Sonic Pi which uses the Ruby language. I am debating on making this a skool for Coding music but haven't officially decided on that. I need to order my banner and business cards real soon. I will be working on my nutcrackers in the up and coming months. I have worked on my website a bit that is wilsonartstudios.myshopy.com. I have a graphic posted on the butlers in downtown Easton and I need to go down there and take a picture with it. I am still working on my comic. I have just been using this as a blog spot but I plan on posting some more of my therapy sessions since I talk a lot about my art endeavors. I have yet to record any video in which I will be turning into presentations for my skool.com. I currently have this set up as a hobby plan and along with working on my website and now coding music it is a little hard at the moment to keep up with this. I developing an app that will be kinda like a social media platform that will be on my website. Everything I am doing now is in preparation for the long run and along with working during the day it isn't the easiest task. I have mentioned before about wanting to get other people involved in the Wilsonart universe but I don't exactly see that happening any time soon. I also started doing welding fabrication art recently so that is another thing to add to the long list of things I do in my Art life. I will try and post more courses to this thing but be sure to check out my website and also my wilsonartgoods.etsy.com site. I have some art on there. I am going to think about whether or not to change this to a coding class or if I'm just gonna start another course/ In any case rest assured I have not yet given up on this platform. Until next time. -Mark T. Wilson

I don't know if I told anyone but I have been chosen. See older post for details.

So right now I have this set up to hobby mode. That may be good considering I do not currently do a lot on it however I did just update my website at wilsonartstudios.myshopify.com which is great. I feel like I am getting somewhere with that at least. So, there are a couple things I wanted to touch on, in this blog post. One would be that I will eventually be using this site to video myself painting. I am just tending to other things at the moment. Like getting my banner and business cards up to par. Also, I also talk a lot about a conceptual piece. Which I then said would be my master piece to date. Well yes that will still happen but I wanted to touch on the idea of doing electric and mechanical work together and potentially I will be making that conceptual piece not only a welded piece but also an electric piece. This would be big. I have already been into the whole Bio-Mechanical thing as far as painting went and I am a big fan of H.R. Geiger and Ridley Scott. I also have recently taken interest into electronics and robots. Something I stumbled upon on you tube. So I can see this being a big thing for me. When I do finally get into the video part of why I wanted to do this I will probably start with some Bio-Mechanical painting like I use to do outside of Smartivities showcase in Easton, Pa. I also will be posting some notes on here again soon. Until next time Mark T. Wilson
