I'm thinking about leaving the big city for a while because I think it's not just creative overload but too much of everything. I want some time and space to re-evaluate everything. I'm must worried that the grass is always greener on the other side and that, once I've left the city, I will find out that the issues I have are entirely in my head and independent from where I live...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-7598137529753317022011-09-18T19:14:45.116-07:002011-09-18T19:14:45.116-07:00I agree with Veronica.

It's the best thing to have place where you can go back (like home) after soaking up the inspirations.eclecticznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-14702216213009656952011-09-18T15:40:40.808-07:002011-09-18T15:40:40.808-07:00I love Boston, but it totally lives in the shadow ...I love Boston, but it totally lives in the shadow of NYC, and I feel so out of the loop sometimes. I went this week to NYC, and left utterly exhausted and overwhelmed, thankful to be back home to my little city. Glad I did it but always happy to be home too.Noelanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904028460381952941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-7988935559279682962011-09-16T20:49:22.061-07:002011-09-16T20:49:22.061-07:00I think I'm just going to leave out "I kn...I think I'm just going to leave out "I know exactly what you mean!" in my comments from now on, because I feel that way about all of your posts haha.<br /><br />I don't know anything about the real lives of working paid artists, but it sounds like some travelling or living away from home for awhile might make you feel happier!Lennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130431400056186716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-77435434307403064902011-09-15T18:59:45.949-07:002011-09-15T18:59:45.949-07:00Well girl, I live in the beacon and I'm not su...Well girl, I live in the beacon and I'm not sure it's any easier. Can someone say over-saturated or inundated with "inspiration" overload?!! Frankly I wish I could make an excuse for my lack of success. If anything I feel worse for not painting every hour of the day or for, lets be honest, taking a moment to sleep. M the grass always seems greener but it rarely is. You have a stable job with a stable income, an apartment to yourself, and you are pursuing your illustration career on top of that. I've just graduated, am working three jobs for free, in the city that (and I quote) "never sleeps"!! Sorry for my ramble, I just feel like you're being way too hard on yourself, you need to sit back and acknowledge how wonderfully gifted you are, and that your time will come. You know I will be here watching and rooting.Meagan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128646296498843426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-91149577570830183212011-09-14T13:56:39.701-07:002011-09-14T13:56:39.701-07:00Cute illustration.

I love living in UK and I don't think I'm ever going to move but I would be so happy if I could go off and travel to different places on a whim then come back to UK, place I call home.Veronikahttp://www.constantworkinprogress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269665939886236519.post-81019096385727056892011-09-13T12:59:43.725-07:002011-09-13T12:59:43.725-07:00I live in London but work in finance (a completely...I live in London but work in finance (a completely different loop!) and as an artist I have found it quite hard to 'break' into the art world.
