These daily drawings are quickly becoming my antidrug for laziness. I had a super lazy evening Monday night, after only sketching the profile of a dude in the subway, and Tuesday I felt like I was having withdrawals from a drug, I needed to spend that time focusing on a drawing. And when I finished and was getting ready for bed, I felt like a load had been lifted, like all was right in the world, and other cliches.

Inspired by Jonathan Hardesty's thread on conceptart.org (www.conceptart.org/forums/show…), I've started a personal challenge to create one drawing a day. I draw every day anyway, but this is meant as a challenge, to focus and make an effort, and hopefully learn something. Started yesterday, though that one ended up in scraps because I called it a sketch. I'll try to pull it out and put it in the gallery proper.

Deviantart is the most representative collection of my junk on the tubes, but I haven't updated it regularly in the past. So this marks less than two months since my last update, and with a grip of images, no less.

I started in on something like a new year's resolution after Christmas, and it's carrying on pretty well. I have a dedicated workspace at home and it helps draw me into the creative mode. It's not enough on its own, but as long as I don't stagnate, I'm reminded of something that I want to continue working on.

I'm excited to see what sort of projects I take on this year!

Start a new job tomorrow. Organized my files and books tonight. Drew and painted, played some uke. I'm feeling a little traction, like I've got a couple toes gripping the rail I'm supposed to be balancing on. From here it's only up and out.

No BS

duh

I'm admiring art by unassuming kids who do it because they have a passion and the tools. I have the tools... where's the passion? I feel it now as a reaction to humble and courageous art. I want to contribute, to try my hand. I've stopped myself in the past because I haven't been as good as I want to be. There's no use in describing how ridiculous that is; it's hardly even ironic, just stupid. So no BS. I'm going to go balls out and start drawing and painting. There's going to be a lot of crap, and some stuff that lives on. I think a good way to start is themes. There are a few elements that have been making laps through my mind: trees in wind, tricycles, and slumped-yet-not-lifeless figures. No more wondering if these images are perfect. They will lead to something else. THE JOURNEY BEGINS!
