{ Christmas? }
I have so many posts lined up, so many topics and thoughts for this blog that I guess I just sometimes choke.
I'm much better at handling the demands of others, than the demands of myself, and when I don't have any illustration jobs lined up, but have to make them myself, I definitely choke. Lately I've for example started drawing in a "nine year school" style, precise and controlled, fine lines, safe topics. It looks like... nothing.
After struggling for several days with a Christmas pic that I thought would be so easy because I'm good at ornamental stuff you know, I yesterday finally started to challenge myself to draw... loosely, sketchlike, without control, like I used to draw before everything got so serious.
The sketch above is my best Christmas drawing so far. And I'm not even sure it's so Christmas:y.
I don't know...
I'm obsessed with Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, as obsessed as I've been with Project Runway. I like to watch it while I draw. It makes me think... a lot of unarticulated thoughts that I'm sure in time will come together. Hopefully as a physical manifestation, because right now I'll take anything tangible that will release me from myself and this thing I call for brains.
