It's amazing how time gets away from us when we're not paying attention or making an effort to use it more productively. It's been nearly a year since I've posted anything, and it sure doesn't seem like it's been that long. So. Here I am.
I've had a lot of speed bumps in the past year, and it's been one of those times in life where for several months, things don't seem to get back to their usual rhythms. For the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to get my house back in ordered, life organized and sorted out, and back to a point where I don't feel like I'm constantly just trying to catch up. I've also been thinking a lot about what I'd like to do this next year, projects to work on, and where I'd like to be artistically by next December.
I'm really serious about getting a portfolio together, which means lots of time dedicated to artwork. And I also need to get back on track creatively. I hate how when I leave art alone too long, it feels so difficult to come back to it. It always feels like I'm not sure where to pick up, my skills are rusty, and that I'm creatively stuck. Luckily I have a couple of half finished projects to complete, as well as a couple of new things to help get me rolling. I'm trying to sort out whether I want to keep a sketchbook daily, I need to art journal all the time, or if I need smaller, time limited, and restricted projects everyday. I'm thinking it's the latter to start with. Among other things, it's also my goal to do more than one blog post every year. Sheesh.
Today I'm thinking about what I want my daily project to be and how I'm going to implement it.
So...let the fun begin!
