Heyhey!
I feel a bit bored and my journal needs an update.
how is everyone?
I've got a tendinitis in my right hand
I'll continue my commissions after I feel as fit as a fiddle again!
Apropos, I take that injury as a sign in time. I should hear more to what my body wants me to tell. My body said "Hey, heyheyheyhey, your hand already feels tired, you better stop!"
I want to do more for my fitness again. I'll buy me a powerball or something fimilar for my hand. back trouble shouldnt be a problem too if you do enough against it...Today three friends and me will go for a jog. I want to do that regularly now Ò_Ó! We have to take care of our body if we want to paint and draw forever. arrrgh, I was so stupid but its never too late, is it?
Not being able to paint seriously piss me off! There are so many things I want to try out. I collected a bunch of great photorefs I want to do studies from. I feel sooo inspired this year. hmmm, everyone should have friends to hang out and draw with. It really helps you to get up of your sofa. I think my life changed pretty much. I used to hang around a lot with my schoolmates, wingding'ing every time we could. Now I became a party pooper, some ppl would say I became antisocially, I know that, but I dont really care. It's great how it is atm. I feel more productive in comparison to the past years. And I see the development in my art ( well at least a bit!)
It's october and my mother died exactly one year ago. Getting a different attitude to life may be also a reason why I'm so into drawing and painting again.
Like Oscar Wilde said (in Dorian Gray): 'The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.' I see my self-development mostly in painting and drawing. I'm not retired from public life or retreating into my shell again because I found friends who are like me. sharing a passion is awesome. It could be like this forever, but somehow I KNOW things will change and I dont know how to deal with it yet. It's just a feeling and a natural rule of life (that says life changes fast, lulz) that makes me so fucking melancholic sometimes...
When my hand gets fit again I want to draw and and paint again. I want to paint more with subtle colors. I'm aiming a natural feeling in my paintings. Thats a conclusion I get after lifestudies I guess. Artists like Alex Kanevsky or Jeremy Lipking totally make me wide-eyed. awesome use of colors.
I would never write such a long journalentry if my hand would work. Typing with only one hand is pretty new for me, haha.
sorry for the long blabla, thanks for reading!
hugs!









I'm still dealing with some pain, but I'm stunned at how after three or four sessions my pain is all but gone. It's important to go to someone who knows what he or she is doing, of course (not a chiropractor who also offers acupuncture), but it really works. My band is teetering on the edge of breaking and my hand decided to freak out, so I was desperate.
I apologize for posting this loooong comment, but I know how I felt when it was just suddenly there. I wanted to share my experience.
I really love you and your art!
I'd like to know if you are avaliable to hire for a matte painting.
I do hope your arm gets better, I'm a comic artist myself and I understand how horrible and frustrating it can be for the drawing arm to be injured. Take care!
I'm pretty familiar with melancholic feeling and I'm too facing some health issue that will set me back with art AGAIN. *sobs*
Exercising and fitness I know that too well and want to do it so that I can paint forever too. Funny how painting motivates us further in life... it's more powerful than I thought haha. So yeah I hear ya, yup I do. Good luck with your recovery and I certainly will keep on watching you, just take your time and don't overdo it mkay?
