I’m practically at the end of my two week break. I’ve spent most of it on the workshop reading and exercises. Plus a bit of attention to personal grooming – first hair cut in ages, eyebrows, feet, etc. Didn’t get to the doctor, dentist, optometrist or accountant though. Not much singing practice either.
So I’m pondering where to from here. I need to find a way that’s manageable and satisfying. I think I need to simplify my art down to basics, and at the moment that’s looking like just working with Flash. Simple illustration, opportunities for some sophistication (lighting,colour) in a somewhat sophisticated ‘cartoon’ style. Think graphic novel. Maybe simple animation.
Not sure if I’ll keep on with the steel cage. As I said, I need to simplify. Perhaps if I just try to do one art-related thing well I can also do some singing and spend some time managing my work and maybe even my life.
