Keep them eyes open!

You will be seeing more and more of me! (Saying this creates added pressure for me to draw and post more often, and stay on the ball).

Anyways, I've been a spectator far too long with the daggers, more years than I care to mention. I'm sure many of you can relate to my story. Doing the bare minimum, letting the praise of family, friends, even art school teachers be enough, laziness and mediocrity winning the daily battles.

I'm 26 now, and it's very easy for me to be hard on myself for the time wasted, I catch myself saying "imagine how great I could have been if I started sooner!" Well, I seem to only learn from my mistakes, and it took everything I learned about myself getting to this point to realize how bad I want to improve my art, health, and life. (I feel cheesy and preachy saying some of this, but if that's the attitude I need to be more motivated, then oh well, its worth it.)

So many of you are doing such great things, and many of you are so young! I feel privileged to be among you.

Keep an eye out for my sketch book I will be starting it later tonight after some studying, I want it to be an inspiration for those who need it, just like many of you have inspired me.

Til next time, I leave you with a few finds that keep me going:

Making this my homepage has helped banish the time-vampires of the internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGRJrkapOkI

A great song that is fun to draw to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWD7k6TrJ-g
