Today has to be the most painful day to be in the lab. I am in such a good mood. I want to go play outside. I was smiling at everyone in the streets this morning. They probably thought I was a freak. But they smiled back and that’s what counts.
I’m not really one for sunny days. I am, but I’m not. I tend to get really really happy but then crash a few hours later because no matter what I do I feel like I’m not doing enough. I’m wasting time. Saying that…I expect that the funk will come around 4:30pm….maybe. There was a difference to the sunny day today, a difference I love. When I stepped outside this morning, half the sky was bright and blue and the other half was covered in a dark charcoal coloured cloud. I love it when you can’t tell which way the weather will go. It makes possibilities seem endless. Of course I could check the weather network but then there would be no room for creative thinking.
Speaking of creativity - I have decided that I need to start drawing again. Like, really really drawing. At some point I stopped and I don’t know why. OK maybe I know why - it may have been because of the Internet. Being exposed to the wonderful creations people place on line made me feel mediocre if not less than that. Instead of being inspired I decided to shy away. Today that changed. I think I’ve been re-inspired by Tom Judd’s Everyday. He illustrated a page a day for one whole year.
This may mean that I need a new sketchbook…and markers…and some pencils those nubs won’t do…and inky pens……bwwaaahahaha.
Hmmm…this is what happens when the lab is empty on Fridays. I feel starved for attention.
