Why do I love the OMM so much?
Wed 9th Jul, 2008

I really like the idea behind TOMM, and who wouldn't? I mean, a million artist, a million squares, one picture. It's just great. I also like to hang out on this site, and that's no wonder either. What i do find weird, however, is that I just cant get enough of drawing on those tiny squares with very limited tools. I like it better than Photoshop, paintshop, painter, everything. Why?

I've been thinking about this, and the conclusion I've come to is:

The reason why I like it is exactly the same as why I shouldn't like it. It's so simple, but that makes it esier. When I paint in PS I always keep thinking about what I'm going to do, and how great I want this painting to be when it's finished. Here on TOMM I don't do that. I'm free to do whatever I like, it doesn't matter if the square turns out bad, because it's too small to become anything great, and I can just change it later. I can just doodle away without thinking. I feel more free than when painting in PS. And I love that.

But it irritates me that I can't have as many squares as I want. I want a subscription! But I don't have money. sigh..
