Yes, I'm still alive. I don't know why I go through these long streaks of acting like I don't like to do art. I've pretty much always been that way, going for months at a time doing no art at all. I eventually come around to it again and discover that I can tolerate and even enjoy it. I've been in this mode where it's almost like I'm afraid to get started again, although I know that if I just put in a little effort it'll be just fine. It's just hard to talk myself into doing things, always has been, especially when there's distractions. Never been much of a self-motivator, in fact it's almost a strong compulsive impulse not to be. Anyway, I think I'm finally coming 'round, so stay tuned.
