Wowza!

So it's been really hard to balance working full-time, organizing Dr. Sketchy's, organizing more art events in collaboration with other artists and performers, AND drawing comix. In fact, drawing sequential art has fallen totally off my radar. I can't even seem to muster the energy to THINK sequentially, let alone put the comix in my brain onto a page. It's a sad feeling.

I've been having a little bit of a blockage when it comes to my own art. I've begun to wonder if maybe I'm not supposed to be an artist who does work for herself... I've been definitely doing ART--but not a lot of work in my sketchbook, not a lot of life drawing, not a lot of painting... All of that art seems to have fallen to the wayside, while I heavily pursue my freelance and really rock out graphic design at work.

I don't think I'm willing to make that concession... I know this is a roadblock I've come upon before and it's really all about balancing. I've begun to run again--the first times since injuring my knee!--so if I can make space for running CERTAINLY I can make space for comix and sketchbooks... I think it's time to go back to a little old-school artistic discipline and actually give myself personal deadlines and timeframes for sketchbook/comic work.
