Sat down with some markers tonight after having no luck with a plan for something big in Pastels. Worked out a moleskine cover, getting back to my peace crane roots. The image of the origami crane keeps returning to me. It's hard to explain, but I feel like I can't draw enough of them, as though scribbling them over and over has some sacred purpose.
Anyway, this month is set to be a more productive time for me. I'm finally free of a part-time job, now living completely off freelance work and tattoo. It's becoming crunch time for my novel, I've been putting it off for a couple months. Not to say I haven't been working on it in my head, plot specs the whole time, I just haven't put a pencil to board since June. I'm feeling the pull to get my hands back into it. I've got a couple ideas for new pieces for the Fall Open House coming up on the 27th. I was bummed that I didn't have anything new to show, but the prospect of showing work always finds a way to inspire new work at the last minute. I guess the gears kind of get forced into action.
