My brain feels like jelly.
To borrow a phrase from my friend Melissa, my eyes are like raisins.
I texted my friend this message two days ago,
"I believe we're 35."
Her response,
"And working like we're 22."
This is not a complaint.
No.
But it's true.
I am enjoying the work that I'm doing right now. I'm just a bit tired, that's all.
Since most of my work is done on the computer (practically from start to finish) it's hard on my eyes (yes, I try to remember to do those exercises - looking away and focusing on something in the distance and then resuming work again - is that real, does that work?).
Not sure if there's even a point to this post.
You're catching me while I'm fully exhausted.
I make no sense.
Neither does the drawing.
After I've spent so much time on the computer, I like to draw pictures that aren't digitally generated.
I like the immediacy of a doodle.
The fact that there is no pressure.
sssshhhhhhhhh....
That's the sounds of pressure being released.
I have a love-hate relationship with pressure.
I think it's good.
It pushes me to push me.
But sometimes I push so hard that I fall over.
It's time for a Hoegaarden.
It's self-soothing, I know.
But call it what you will.
I need some soothing today.
ssssshhhhhhhh.....
I suggest a little booze and doodling to take the pressure off. Used to go to something similar in ATL and it put the fun back into illustration.
ReplyDeleteI mean really, what could be better than nude models and cheap beer?

ReplyDeleteI laughed a lot at this just imaging you saying all of that but in a zombie half asleep tone of a voice. Can't wait to see new stuff your working on!
