Resolutions, revolutions

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 21, 2009, 6:23 AM


First and foremost, this hasn't exactly been the best year of my life.

I've been away from DA for an unacceptably long time, but for good reason and an even better cause.

In February I am moving out to my new apartment, which is actually my grandparents' old apartment, currently treated to a slightly tectonic equivalent of a facelift. I also have two on-going contracts which are going to pay for the new kitchen. I don't, as yet, have a regular nine-to-five paying job, and it depresses the hell out of me.

In the light of things not going exactly the way I expected them to after graduation, I decided that four simple, broad decisions are enough for 2010. Two of them are rather private and do not involve art. The other two, who do involve art, go like this:

1. Work traditionally for an entire year. I already more or less started doing this out of vague curiosity, and have been doing it for a month. Coloured pencils turned out to be an especially interesting and versatile medium. I am experimenting at the moment, but this decision was eventually made when I realized it will finally help me define and settle into a style. I'm starting to grow out of the manga-ish phase towards something a little more illustrative and cartoony. I both like and am curious where it's going.

2. Write and illustrate a story whose (very much) working title is currently 'Bart the Naturally Unlucky'. Apparently my brain feels I should absolutely create a children's story in this lifetime (in blatant disregard of the fact that I dislike children in general and children anywhere on a 500 m. radius around me in particular) It was an idea that first visited me a few weeks ago and hasn't gone home since. I might as well see what I can make of it.

So that's it. No actual resolutions other than what I can actually manage. In the mean time, I'm going to try and make time to scan and fix my current works before I post them. I might also open a few comission slots soon, but the details remain to be settled.
