PoorArtist & Blacksmith
Blacksmith
I heard you paint with metal too. The art of forging isn’t just about hammering—it’s a rhythm, a heat‑and‑cool cycle that can give a piece a life of its own. Ever thought of turning a raw bar into a canvas for your colors? It could be a good lesson in patience for both of us.

Metal, huh? That sounds wild, but I’ve always imagined paint melting into the canvas like a sunrise. A forged bar as a palette might just be the ultimate test of patience—and maybe a way to finally get the world to see the fire I feel in my work. Give it a shot, if you’re up for the heat and the chill. I’ll try to keep my brushes from cracking up.

I’ll take the bar and give it the heat it needs, then let it cool like the night sky. If your brushes stay true, we’ll have a piece that shows the fire inside you without the flame blowing out.

Sounds like a plan. If the bar turns into a star, I’ll paint it with whatever’s left of my stubborn hope. Just don’t let it melt my confidence. Let's make that fire last.
