A new year deserves a new entry don't you think?

I'm hoping that 2009 will be a year of healing, and a year full of amazing artistic growth. I actually struggled way more than I expected to in 2008. I was forced to finally move right before Christmas, and now I live in the suburbs. I have two roommates, a cat, and two birds to deal with now. The ( Read more... )

It was another typical night for me Tuesday. Another session with the Drawing Group. The atmosphere was a tad bit different that night though. No one had bothered to bring any music. The model didn't even show up. One of the group members volunteered ( Read more... )

Yes, art = pain apparently. I'm not doing too well at the moment. My muscles in my back bother me more then anything. They feel twisted, tight, sore, and throb like they're about to explode. It seems like at every Drawing session now, I'm dealing with some intense muscle discomfort. I just try to stay focus on capturing the model. I feel like I ( Read more... )

I'm invisible...it's just a fact in this point of my life.
