I know I've never been a part of the popular artist crowd or been much a of a Con-Crawler so i may not be up to date with all the terms in the fandom anymore, so here's my Question. Is there such a thing as "Art Phobia"? Its something that's been plaguing me for almost 3 years. Anytime i get an artistic chill up my spine and get the absolute desire to put pen to paper i freeze up. Completely! I can think. I can move my hand. I get cold sweats and shake alittle. All i can do is stare at the blank page. I try and work threw it but it gets worse and worse till i just give up in frustration. Has anybody ever heard of this happening to someone else or am i just all the way OFF MY NUT? I need to know!?

It feels like I'm being abused by my Muse or something. Tramatized by my own creativity. Thing is i still have art cravings, like i bought a copy of Photoshop CS5 and a tablet earlier this year as a birthday present.

I started to play around with CS5 an don't feel anything wrong. (other then fact that i have no clue how to work the program) I can draw and sketch and goof around with no problems. i even kinda drew a sergal thing which I've wanted to do for years! I take up pen and paper and i lockup all over.

I find it Crazy but i seriously think somebody needs to do a Study on my Phobia or something. Please perscribe me meds so I can art!

thanks for your ears.
