Am back from my holiday. Weeee! Have to say I feel really good.
I feel a bit uninspired to write, not for the lack of things going on, more cause I am not sure how to process the data and which ones I feel comfortable letting out. I actually feel I could let it all out which is a BIT suspicious. Like, maybe I should call my supervisor just to check, if-ya-know-what-I-mean.
Now about the drawing. Are you as confused as I am? Lately I started to make illustrations which I don't completely understand. Like my style and visual language have been growing somewhere behind my back and are just using me to materialise. As if they have been developing and know how to tell the story and have given up on checking with me what I think. Like they just had enough of my procrastination, over thinking and lack of time and are going above my head to express themselves.
And you know what… I salute them. Fuck me! I could apparently wait forever for everything to be "perfect" and "right". I say you go get em and feel free to leave me out. And knowing me I'll probably catch on once I realise I have no choice. Am just a bit slow, that's all.

This is quite a beautiful drawing to me... I always find myself glancing at your sketches with part aesthetic eye, part Psychologist one (sorry!) but I wonder if something for you is emerging from a chaos.
ReplyDeleteI love the use of colour here. The lady also looks positively radiant, standing tall in colour.
You're right though, we could all wait forever for things to be perfect or "right". It would be a long wait!

Waiting around for things to be perfect is one of the best ways to waste time and do nothing, isn't it? But when you just let go and go for it there is no better feeling, I'm trying to practice this on daily bases and I like it, like it a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI love this one, glad you had a good holiday beauty x
ReplyDeleteI like the concept of your creativity using you to materialize. Please continue to let it do so. It is doing great. There is no need to catch up. Art is subjective and even for you understanding it shouldn't be necessary. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello gorgeous!!! Welcome back!! It sounds like you had an amazing time... Sooo good, loving this illustration a lot!!
ReplyDeleteHey, love the new header!! Looks very fresh. And welcome back from vaca. I'd say run with the drawings you don't understand....don't over think them and you tend be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
ReplyDeleteWell am glad you guys like it. i came to trust you a lot in these things. @Style on the couch: girl I love to have you here, you read me like a book :-)))
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect as is...glad you shared this!
ReplyDeleteWow Style on the Couch is spot on! I agree with everything she said!
ReplyDeleteLet the creativity flow, baby! Get rid of the aspiration to "understand" and "order". Let your underconscious out (like the surrealist painters did).
ReplyDeleteIf you`re waiting for things to become "perfect" you`re still in a great place! I`m waiting for "something that works", a venture that doesn`t fail, I want to do something "right" and have success that SHOWS. I want to "arrive" somewhere and belong. I want life to stop being a fucking ungratifying struggle!!!
hey dear, love the new header, great, and the original position of the girl, deep in observing your thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
that sounds great. I'm all for doing away with the overthinking and waiting for things to be perfect. good to know that it may simply happen by itself ;)
