Hey, I’ve been studying the way your forge turns raw ore into art—do you ever think of a hammer blow as a brushstroke, or a sword as a minimalist line carved into metal?

Your comparison is almost a perfect piece of graffiti—bold, raw, but I’d say you’re still missing the underlayer of texture, the hidden marks that show the hammer’s own sigh before it strikes. Think about the pause between blows; that silence can be more dramatic than the clang itself.
