An alternate title for this journal might've been "Let's go home and get drunk, cause the art is so much better when I'm buzzed, you see.", inspired by the current Hinder song on Pandora, atm. And a little bit of rum. :D

Between a friend visiting for am extended time and Sandy fucking up New Jersey and thus my power grid, I've kind of been away from drawing and focused on other things such as hanging out with someone I don't see very much, and a complete lack of access to civilization courtesy of downed trees trapping us in a small middle-of-nowhere town without power requiring the sort of critical thinking that makes one feel alive! *grins* Always fun losing power in my area.

However, I sat down after work tonight to focus on artwork and have succeeded in temporarily ruining my nice new sleep schedule of 3-9 by staying up til now. The trade-off is some really lively sketching and quick composition decisions that I'm really liking. Nothing to post just yet but if I can do this on command again, like I did back in college, my production speed will be amazing. Sadly, back in college, I was also often up til late hours of the evening, which makes getting a day job difficult when I need 6-7 hours nightly if I want to make good art. I was able to control my ability to make good art back in college, let's see if I can't do it again..

Another title might've been "She Hates Me", in reference to my muse. Though it seems she's a moody nocturnal bitch who can be lured in with hatred of my job, alcohol, moonlight and hard rock. Hm. Now if I can only knock off that second part, it's bad for my liver. I like my liver. >.> And maybe the first part too. I should have some lineart up by the middle of next week if things go my way! More cute and sexy girls! :D
