No my pants aren't literally on fire...but you could be saying "liar liar pants on fire" as I said I was going to update on different days. Well turns out, Monday, as it stands, is working for me. I only blogged once last week, yes I am a slacker...It was harder to get back in said saddle than I thought. I am not stressing about it. I am just going with it. Why put out a mediocre blog when I don't have much to say? I'd rather save it all up, all the gunk, the goop and the weird for one eye strain, insanity causing blog. Now I'm not saying I'm only going to blog weekly, just depends...if I feel the urge, or have some news, the blog shall happen more than once a week...if not...well you'll be waiting in suspense (at least this is what I think) for the next one. **enter suspense music here**. Either way, it's going more free form rather than a rigid schedule that I had myself on last year. Why? Because I want to, and I'm in charge of the blog and arting at least....speaking of...
Nice segue, right? You have to admit it...or not. I have been arting...kind of growing and overcoming some fears that are just ridiculous that I get because, well I'm odd. I'd say eccentric but I still have yet to make enough money to call myself that...I'll probably add savant to it too if/when that ever happens. It just sounds cool. I did mention the mood, right? I did some outside of the box art which did happen to make it up on Society 6 this week. There are 4 pieces again, 2 new, 2 older pieces. There's also a sale on wall art that ends tonight at midnight PST so go, my minions, buy some wall art so I can gain my title of "Eccentric Savant"....hmmmm I may need to work on that title a bit. It needs a bit more oomph...or maybe just keeping it simple. A worry for another day.
I've been busy just playing with my new digital brushes, and seeing what is what...trying to push the boundaries that I put on myself solely...and I am going to do some cartooning...soon? I hope? I started out there...and for some reason it's intimidating the hell out of me. I think it's because one of my Xmas gifts was Calvin and Hobbes complete edition boxed set. Bill Waterston was and is one of my major inspirations...he really was the "one" that got me to make a comic strip. Yes, I have one, not published, nor will it see the light of day as I've grown immensely as an artist and some of the strips are almost embarrassing. I still have them, though. They will remain stored away, safely out of viewers clutches. Looking through the older works for sure is a trip down memory lane...and sometimes that trip leads to a fall. Seeing where you were at that point in time, the growth, to the now. It's really funny and groan worthy when you think your past self thought you were the shit and you see it was just shit. I guess that happens not only for an artist but just as a human being...oooo deep thought to ponder.
In other news, I'm going to be a busy little bee this week. I have a Dad day coming up and the first gaming (D&D) session of the year...where I unleash more of the darker side of me. It's not that I like giving my players' nightmares, except I kind of do. **insert evil laughter here** Some may be reading this blog, others' I'm not sure. In fact I don't know who's reading what...I know if you are new to the blog, just buy stock in eye drops and coffee...because it's over a year's worth now, and I'm a windbag. Ooooo Eccentric Windbag Savant? No, that doesn't work, either, but it's getting closer.
On that note my minions and some minor eye strain, for you veteran minions, you're probably thinking that's it?! Yup that's it. The insane ramblings of the not yet eccentric, but windbaggy, sans the savant is done....for now. I hope you all have a fantastic week. I am going to see about blogging on hump day, so I can say hump day over and over. Make sure you check out Society 6 for the latest and greatest. Follow on Facebook, and/or Deviant Art...oh and Twitter, too! On that shamelessly pluggy note...I will see you next time!
