Thank you, Kathryn.

My reason for doing so is that my art does reflect who I am as well as my
values.

This is a really good point. What I like especially about Extropic Art is
that it is open-ended and not imposing. (Although flaunting entropy under
the guise of extropy would be an imposition, to be sure.)

Quality enough.
