It really has been a while with me. Haven't had many reasons to draw lately. Or anything I feel worth putting up here.
That's about to change..I have a friend in Iraq right now, and for his amusment (and much to mine) I'm making a comic book for him.
So far I only have the script written. I'll try to post up sketches, then the finished work. This will help me keep track of the progress and show you guys why I get frustrated with my finished work. I have tons of pencil drawings, and few inked ones. So much gets lost in the transition, in my opinion.
Ah well...such is life.
Devious Comments
I've been rather lazy about my art lately, too. In fact, my last completed piece was back in June. My work schedule was Hell, so I was having trouble working in time to paint (or working in the *motivation* to paint, since I was so tired all the time), and shortly after, one of my kitties died and I've been in a kind of creative funk ever since. And, of course, I recently started a new job and Tom and I just moved in together, so there's a lot going on right now, too...but gosh darnit, *now* I wanna paint!
I've been dry as dust for almost five months, and now of all times, when my apartment is a city made of cardboard boxes and I have only the rudaments of civilized living set up just to get by, now when I need to be concentrating on the long Journey of Unpacking and getting things set up to actually, you know, *live* and stuff (I only have a few dishes unboxed and usable; we have no trash cans; I have all my books unpacked but we don't know where to put the bookshelves because of all the boxes, so the books are piled in the floor; also, I can't find my socks)...*now* of all the most inconvenient, unreasonable times for my muse to show up, tap my skull, and say, "Hey, you, paint something...NOW!", this is by far one of the worst. But there it is. So my dishes may remain unboxed, and I may continue to wash and wear the same pair of socks until they fall away into dust, but it's very possible that there may be a few additions to my gallery soon.
Or not. My muse has ADD.
