Because it makes me feel happy

I had some pieces of wood lying around my house for quite a while now. I finally made it into a bear- a robot bear. I've very minimal experience with making things from wood, but I do like how I had make it into a 3-D form with all those raw textures. 

Like my drawings, I prefer to keep it loose, imperfect and hand-made. I glued the parts together with woodglue, painted it with acrylic paint. I decided to give it one eye which made it more unusual. Then I decided it'd be a robot. Instead of drawing all the panels on his body, I chose to have some in ink, pencil and some stuck on paper. It added to the texture. Is this related to drawing and illustration? I like to think of it as a painting but in a 3-D format. A 3-D art piece.

And no, I'm not thinking of mass producing or selling this. I just wanted to do this for my own pleasure, to create a little something of beauty to look at. I think, sometimes art should just be that. Not for making money. Not to gain admiration, or increase my views. Just to make something because it makes me feel happy looking at it. And I'm OK if no one notices. I like how it looks like in different lighting. 

I made cats with my daughter and few years back. I don't do this often. But I still love looking at those cats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdSe0ZYbTWA
