I really need to start writing better artist comments on my art. I think you guys [that look at my art] will enjoy the extra “artist thoughts”, but it would mean I already have something typed up about that piece for a portfolio. For some time I’ve wanted a nice, small, professional-looking, portfolio that I can easily haul around with me. The only problem, a portfolio is more than sticking art in a folder. I feel that it should have an artist statement, and something written about each piece. It would also help when I sell prints, so people know what is and is not for sale.

I also need to just make more art. Even if I don’t finish it. My problem lately, is just that I don’t draw. I get caught up in the daily stuff, and working 10+ hours a day doesn’t help either, but I am less stressed, feel more productive, and generally happier when I’m doing creative/artsy stuff. When I do creative stuff (drawing, writing, etc.) I’ve found it tends to build off itself. In the middle of writing a story, I think of something I want to draw, and in the drawing I think of something else that could be added to the story. So, I’m going to try and do a sketch a week. I would love be at the point where I do a complete piece a week, but right now, a sketch a week is where I’m at.
