I miss my down time.
I work two jobs and so what little time I do have to myself these days is spent with people I felt I needed to make more time for.
Every so often, when an idea for a design or a drawing conjures itself I'll work on it until I can't work on it anymore (bedtime), but I don't dedicate as much time as I want to.
This is going to change.
And this change is at least partially inspired by the writings and words of a former professor of mine. Upon realizing he was no longer happy with his way of thinking he decided to change it. So for sixty days he did just that and underwent a sort of self-imposted rehab in which he re-aligned his mindset.
I feel like maybe it's about time I do the same.
I'm not really sure how to do this, other than to just be myself (that's all I really know how to be), to do all the things that I want to do:
exercise,
read more,
eat healthier,
take my dog out for walks more frequently,
learn how to drive,
get my license,
learn how to swim,
say what I mean,
create when I'm inspired (which is actually far more frequently than this blog would allow you to believe these days)...
I've been creating random doodles in photoshop & illustrator to teach myself more about the tools and whatnot. None of these things are polished by any means, but here they are:
They're just experiments, but maybe they'll become something more.
