Funkrut

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 7, 2009, 3:34 AM
I sorta lost any momentum I gained before 2009. I was sick and it threw me off, and even recently I haven't been getting enough sleep (for one reason or another). It was really starting to noticeably affect me. I got tired enough to finally get to sleep at a not-so-reasonable-but-very-reasonable-for-me time, and I felt a little bit better today.

So now I'm hoping I can get myself on track a little bit better. I'm setting robots aside for now, and I've more or less scrapped the calendar idea. This is not the kind of thing I can force myself to do within a time frame (at least, not something I can do well). And I'm always trying to test myself like that. I suppose it's kind of a good thing, because I can learn where my boundaries are. But if someone is interested in a calendar I might still submit one and will most likely finish out the calendar with ghosts. I was planning to submit the calendar to a different website though, because DeviantArt's calendars don't have any holidays on them (or moon phases for that matter), which was the complaint of someone who bought the Sparks & Epiphanies calendar a couple years back.

I'll go back to robots soon, but I need to stretch a bit. I feel like doing something else.

Thanks to :iconliljeska: for being nice all the time. She really is the bees knees. You should go say hi and give her a cookie.

Also, thanks to everyone who participated in that chain feature journal thing. I still have spaces open if you want to be featured. I'll feature the work in this journal so ppl can see it.

I often find that if I'm in a rut, taking a break sorts me out and whaever I do immediately after my 'rest' is better than whatever I did before 'resting'. But then, often my 'ests' are just because I've got addicted to Xbox again (which has happened this month -- damn you Fallout 3! -- but luckily I'd started on a few things at the end of December which I can post this month).

Yeah, that happens to me too. It's been a little while since I've done anything. I need to go to the art store and get some stuff. That helps some of the time. Looking at artwork here helps too. Maybe starting my news article again will kill 2 birds.

I find that *not* thinking about art helps me get into art -- like, researching whatever interests me on a particular day, and then wanting to try and communicate that somehow often leads to an idea for a picture. But having said that, when I did that illustration course back in March I had more ideas than I'd have ever known what to do with because I was actively thinking about what I should be trying to acheive.

Working on 'The Intercorstal' has been really inspiring though -- I've got a set of rules to work by and after that everything just flows on from that. And nobody on here seems to appreciate it, and in the past that would have bothered me, but I've given up trying to get any recognition on here and just use it as somewhere to keep my work on display, in case. And if nothing else, the pages I've done make great sketchbooks for my larger pieces -- I'd have never have finished my big Lolcats pic if I hadn't had my Intercorstal pages to hand.

I always do the same thing. I wash my hands a lot more and I use listerine daily. Then I eat tons of fruits and fruit juice. It musta worked because I got better real fast.

Aw you're silly for plugging me like that but thanks :aww:

I know for me Winter Break was hell cuz I couldn't sleep until 8am or something. But since school started I'm sleeping relatively at a reasonable time. I hope you get some more sleep and get a better sleep schedule. :nod:
