Rediscovering my roots!
11 years ago
While my parents have been in Hawaii for the past week celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, I have been staying at their house to watch over the place and look after my little brothers (toy rat terriers =P ).
It's been a long week being here by myself, but I brought my Xbox 360 with a couple of games as well as a watercolor picture I've been working on and my sketchbook, but decided to leave the burner at home simply because I didn't want to have to lug a bunch of stuff over here and possibly forget something, its a 2 hour drive home so its not like I can just run over here and retrieve what might have been left behind.
Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I still managed to forget a few materials I needed to continue working on my watercolor picture so that went at a stand still....so of course I found myself playing video games for a couple of days until, the battery in my controller died XD
AND....silly me yet again....forgot to bring back up batteries =P.
Not knowing where my parents keep theirs (if they even have any) and not wanting to kill their batteries (because they are expensive now) I had to fall back to the sketchbook and try some doodles and let me tell ya....its been fun =)
I have managed to come up with 3 sketches, two of which were inspired by a good friend on here to help keep me distracted during the nasty weather we had at the beginning of last week.
I simply cannot wait to take these sketches and move forward with them so I can show them off to you guys =D
Aside from doing the Wooden Badges, I have not been drawing much at all these days and was actually afraid that maybe my love for doing art was finally leaving me.
For the past year I have been battling a persistent art block, probably the worst one I have ever had. No matter how much I would try to sit at my desk and work on something, anything, my lack of patience or dare I say...almost disinterest in everything I touched would eventually win out and I would find myself back in the living room playing games or doing other things.
Unemployment has a lot to do with this I think. When I go home in a couple days I get to begin my quest in finding a new job, I already have one in mind that I am really going to try to shoot for but I don't want to let myself become too hopeful lest I set myself up for possible devastation. If I land this job, it will be my first full time position which has me a bit nervous, but I will be making good money for the first time in my life and might actually get somewhere! I am also kinda counting on the lack I time I have jump starting the urgency to want to create art again. Being unemployed for the past year has left me with so much time on my hands there was no sense of urgency to get any of the numerous projects I have going on done. Commissions were the only thing keeping me in check, but as far as personal stuff, I have dragged my feet so bad....
Lots of exciting changes are heading my way which means my gallery should become a little more lively over the next few months =D
Thank you so much for all the favorites, comments, and new watches <3
Its nice to see that even if I am not posting a bunch, my art is still being seen and loved by you guys and your comments are always so encouraging and supportive, it means a lot <3
Take care, and I hope to share some new stuff with you soon!!!

Best of luck with the job prospect. I hope it works out for you. And as far as not getting projects done, it doesn't get any better when you're employed full time because it feels like there's never enough time to do anything!
