Its something i used to do, and the trick is that art begets art and the more i throw myself into headfirst, the better the chances that something will work.
Especially in sketching.
There are often moments of ‘uh… this is awful’ but then i just add and add and add until it makes sense or at least makes me happy.
Keeping it in my bag and adding as i go, great for bus riding etc… but i get less reading done… hm.
I want to make a big sketched ‘vision board’ type poster on some large-ass watercolour paper to put in my room.
I think it will be kick ass.
This is a good time for me to do that too.. to refine my vision of the future.
Soon we’ll start looking for job postings.. yay!

i have to pull my sketch book out on breaks from class/when i’m waiting for the bus/on the bus/more often!
Its good to have a place to put ideas, but its not really feeling like a sketch book yet.

I bought a sketchbook on sunday, because its time to get back my art.
I have to start again and find my way through new media, new ideas for this whole new place and this whole new phase of my life.
I’m starting to wonder at what my skills really are… what do i DO? I’m surrounded by amazing people who are skilled musicians in many cases.
I haven’t been able to get work (yet!?) and so i have a lot of time to bum around and i need to come up with a routine for myself… a weekly schedule etc.
Sounds pretty artistic and open minded doesn’t it! Well… art needs practice too!
