Okay, so, to whom it may concern,

Hi. I'm alive. No I'm not dead, yes, I've been gone a while and haven't posted jack crap.

Sorry..

Life hasn't been too kind as of recent. I've been pretty sick on and off, and when I haven't been sick, I've been busy trying to work and save up money for AWA. I've also decided to take a break from college I think. I've come to a point where I'm super burnt out, and I don't really know what I want to do with my art at this point in time. And having said that, I think I need some time to figure that out. In that meantime, I'll still be working of course. May get a second job again, who knows? But, I need to get away from it for a while. Because my hands just aren't what they used to be. And that saddens me. 

So much.

If you've never thrown your sketchpad at the wall out of anger and frustration, you've obviously not been an artist long enough to experience a massive art block.

So I sought out my mentor, and with some help, I kinda came to the conclusion that right now, I'm in a dry season. Art is like a plant, and all plants have a blooming season. And right now? My art isn't blooming very well. (lol)

So, I'll post stuff whenever I feel the urge to draw. So, idk how long that's gonna be. :/ 

Okie doke. Well, I'll post again soon hopefully. 

<insert heartfelt farewell ending post transition thing here.>

<.<

Yeah,  dry seasons come for me a lot as well.  For me,  it's normally a buildup of negative emotions that just causes me to lose motivation. 

Maybe it's the same for you?  I got the advice from my mom today to separate my emotions from my work.  Instead,  use your art as a safe place to run from the troubles in your life.  Just let there be nothing but you and your art... and forget about the rest.  I'm going to try this and maybe you should try it to.  Art should never be a stressful thing,  am I right?
