Nuff Said

By Jove...

turned 25 and 5 days its already Christmas. A lot of stuff happened that has since then gone unrecorded. New Office, new projects but same old laziness. Being an artist is one thing but also being the an artist who likes to draw his own ideas and create stuff is harder. Getting a good art piece done is like going through a difficult pregnancy; you think of an idea and how you would execute it, that's the easy part. Then these creative hickups arise, you get too fucking conscious of how you want it to look like, most of the times you won't move from that stage at all until you find yourself drowning your ideas through wistfull wasting of time by eating, tv, surfing the net. Until too much time has passed and your pregnant artistic idea is dead in the womb of creation. The migraine alone sucks the energy draw.

Less caffeine and more vegetables, kiddies. Or else you won't get any drawin' done.

Have about 3 story/comic ideas in my head. 1 is a handfull but three is like giving birth to... triplets. The stories involve stuff I like; sci fi fanstasy, monsters and brooding wanderers. but the script has to be done first and the characters fleshed out. Then the tons of sketching will be involved.

I left my previous job and has about as much time and space I could want to get an indie out. I swore by Jack Kirby and Will Eisner I'd place my personal mark next year on the art/comic scene and it has to be done. I can't reach 30 without self publishing anything.

This is a period of no regular income, but I heard somewhere you don't need to spend much to draw.

I'm penniless but back in the drafting table
