The 2009 Hell in a handbasket tour!
16 years ago
The Rantings of an Art Crazed Chow, Second verse, same as the first.
Come on in folks, get your tickets now for the 2009 hell in a handbasket tour!
four mighty bands, several heavy songs, tons upon tons of hate, doubt and angst!
Ok, kidding aside, no my life is not going to hell in a handbasket but it sure feels like it. I do not know if I can describe this as an artist block, it sure don't feel like it. I had the sudden urge to nix any more attempts at drawing erotica and porn. I would not call it peer pressure, not that many people complained, maybe negative peer pressure coupled with reverse psychology, either way I feel that the magic has gone.
I really hate to put a wet blanket on this, maybe this is what it is like when one gets older and their sex drive has blew an engine and the next stop, the junkyard.
I am slowly feeling that what is the sense in drawing erotica since I have none in real life. I guess they were right, living is for the young so it seems like time for me to order up some geritol and the ben gay.
Maybe another thing that is bothering me is that there are few female furs in the genre my age, at least to talk to or know, it seems like a curse of the genre that makes folks drop the whole genre at a certain age. Oh well, I guess I am done ranting, it seems I can't even get a good rant going without petering out sooner than expected.
*Sigh!*

d.m.f.
But the key to it all is to be true to yourself and do what you want to do, not what others expect you to do. You can guess what will work, but when it doesn't and fails you feel worse than you did before. Better to do what works for you and show it to the right audience, and be satisfied with the job you did. I just found that out myself, the hard way. I lost the way artistically, but I found my way back thanks to you and my non-furry art friends. You can do the same.
