THE CRIMSON PHOENIX

 By Aedan Peterson

I used to have a blog called the Crimson Phoenix when I was in middle school because I was so cool. I shared it with my brother, and two other friends and we took turns posting drawings of dragons and monsters and other cool crap because we were so cool. I checked my rss feed every day, and I discovered several artists that I got to know and still am friends with today. All through blogger. Instagram took over the internet art space, so I stopped posting on the blog, and I eventually removed the Crimson Phoenix out of general embarrassment.

But now, literally more than a decade later, I really just want online community to look like it did then, and I want to make art with friends. They say you can never fully replace a middle school art blog, but, indeed, I hope.
