No complaints.

Still in somewhat of an art slump. But when i do draw, it's good and i come up with ideas for future work. Perhaps because i feel like i can't immediately show people work i am less motivated to make it? Can't scan it, can't upload a cgi peice from a nonexsistent computer, a schoolmate can't peek over my shoulder and tell me how good i am.

That was a major motivator for making art, I was good and got positive attention, yet when my main thought procsess is attention and/or approval while making a peice, it suffers and actually does not gain the attention or approval that i so desire.

When i get home from the library i've been getting on the internet at, i will do some cleaning. THEN i will paint or draw or both. I will just get into the procsess, not worrying about what people will think about it or how it will look later on. Or mabye i wont, but i'm going to make some artsy thing dangit.

In other news i feel good mentally and have lost 12 lbs.

Make and enjoy your art!

Don't worry man, you'll get out of this slump soon. Just rest up and let the artwork come to you.

you're sounding positive and, as someone I know likes to say, ';pro-active'.
I think a lot of people will know where you're coming from.
it'll came back. it comes in waves, it waxes and wains, it brightens and fades.
I find the worst thing to do is push it.
but of course you know all this!
hopefully you're not feeling too alon or down in the dumps or anything. life is the best fuel for art.
qualifications aren't everything
there's always an art world after that.
blah, silly ranting.
anyway, nice to hear from you :)
