ok.
just a thought... but it occured to me today -not that i didn't have that sort of information in my head somewhere a long time now in a way- that taking yourself too seriously (and hence having extremely great expectations of oneself whilst in the process of creating) is a real obstacle in art making (in my case both drawing and writing).

no further thoughts on the matter. i just had to share the revelation with the dA world.

i just bought dido's "safe trip home".
i've become really difficult with music lately. it's either me or the music around me, but in any case most music just doesn't make me feel that easily anymore. i can tell when i hear a good song, but most of the time that's all. i feel like a music critic, just storing compositions and artist-band/album names in my head.

well, dido might not be considered super extremely cool- headbanger or virtuoso, or any of all that crap, but i just loved all of the songs, i actually felt them!!
so please. try this!

βροχη!!!!!!!!!!!!

.... and spending my ass off. and working. soon? get organized. ugh!
if the project actually goes well i'll be submitting some -hopefully?- pretty cool stuff.
:0)

sometimes it just takes a nice vacation and some crazy friends to turn your viewpoint around. maybe it's not permanent but i feel so full. like i can start some things over, with a totally new attitude. i learned about couch surfing, and festivals, plus there's a plan of traveling to Ireland this fall... yeah. i always make plans. but maybe this time i'll just do it.
thanks! (you know who you are)
