Creative Pursuits
10 years ago
I need more art in my life. I haven't drawn anything since the required art class freshman year of high school. And I didn't draw anything I really wanted to. (No anthros. Although I'm not sure I would have wanted to at that point.) And I've never really felt the urge to write creatively. The closest I get is blogging. I've been a steady blogger since 10th grade. Well, I did taper off during college, but I've been trying to pick up again lately. It's a humor blog and people have seemed to enjoy it.
And now I get the chance at a furry blog. Where I am (almost) completely anonymous and people don't have preconceived notions of me. (Well, except for being a fox. And all that stuff you can glean off my furry twitter. And my faves. And the artists I watch.) But at least I get to be up front about parts of my life. No need to worry about offending Facebook friends or endangering my personal life. (One of my college professors follows me on my non-furry Twitter. I don't know how many other students she follows but by now she should have realized how many fart jokes I tweet.)
I partially feel like a sell-out, too, you know? I gave up art and passion for the science and the career. (Not that there's anything wrong with science, but I didn't really balance it out with creative pursuits in college.) And this career leaves me more bitter and tired than not at the end of the day. But hey, I's gets paid.
So how can I add art to the universe? I guess all I can do is commission artists. And come up with cute ideas to draw.
Oh, and RP. I've only done it a couple of times. but I'm pretty proud of what I have written. I think I could get pretty good at it with some more practice. And it's, uh... well, hot. Maybe I'll end up posting one of those one of these days. If I can get the consent of all parties. And if I even get the chance again. It's been... a couple of weeks. And those few times were one-off things. (I was pretty drunk for one of those.) Where... exactly is a fur supposed to go for that kind of stuff? IRC probably not the best place, eh?
Later, furs. I'm off to Google to figure what the hell "Tapestries" is (or was?)
