Holding patterns
I feel restless these days. Like everything is just sitting still and I'm waiting for something to smash it all up.
"Well why don't you just do that then!?" You ask me. Well I suppose I should, I dunno I guess old habits are hard to break. I was on a much better routine in Japan, but it's all sort of slipped into the old grooves I'd worn before.
Well that's not entirely true, I'm eating a little better, and exercising a bit. I guess my biggest frustration is that I keep procrastinating on my two most important things; making art, and trying to get paid to do it.
This design job at inEthos is good, but I need more y'know? I want to land some illustration gigs again like I did for the Royal Bank.
There is a big comicon coming to Seattle the end of March and I think I'll be going. I wish I had more time to put together a portfolio for it. Maybe if I really knuckle down this week. We'll see.
In the coming months I want to start doing some posts focusing on the 2010 Olympics coming to Vancouver. It's a very polarizing issue, and I still haven't decided where I stand on it. I want to watch the games when they come, and I've been blessed more than once with the financial splash off of the whole thing, yet many others are not so lucky. I hear many stories now of mounting debt and evictions.
Are the Olympics always so controversial wherever they go?
I would appreciate more feedback from all of you.
