I know that January fills the interwebs with postings bursting with resolutions, goals and grand ideas, and there's no reason to change that trend here.
2010 was the year that essentially boiled down to my wedding, something grand that needed much time to be dedicated to planning, creating and sorting for. I tried to set time aside for art shows and such, but by September I was just burnt out, and decided to dedicate wholly to the wedding "art project" and leave the rest on hiatus til January.
Wedding day came and went off beautifully and was kindof the begining of the great bomb that is known as "Family Holiday Season." The honeymoon was a week later, Thanksgiving the week after that, and essentially I literally didn't stop until New Year's Eve. Well...more specifically New Year's Day as I was battling the annual hangover (on a much smaller scale than usual) combined with a cold (of a much larger version than usual.) After the hangover burned itself out I was still left mostly immoble with an insanely stuffy head and chest leaving me time to sketch. Bringing us to day 4 of 2011.
I applied and interviewed for an intership in the end of 2010, which I didn't get, but the process pushed me into a more motivated way of thinking which I hope to keep up with. I need to push myself. I need to utilize the skills I have, the books I have, and build the professional Book I know I can create. I'm trying to sketch something substantial everyday, no matter the style or subject, no matter if it's on paper or digitally.
Since I'm still rocking an amazing headache from the cold, I'll cut this short with a couple of b/w sketches.
b/w digital sketch of my Hobbit Husband and I.
b/w digital sketch with minimal color, illustrating the pain sometimes behind inspiration and ideas.Cheers!
