The School Holiday Abyss

Jul 05, 2014 14:41

So I'm on school (by which I mean university) holidays, *without having to attend a paid job* for the first time in like 9 years. I remember how awesome holidays felt when I was a real schoolkid. How you would save up all these things you wanted to do, or you'd just laze around all day in your pajamas. Good times. And I have been looking forward to having a break from my course, because that shit is hard, yo. But now that I'm actually on holidays...I don't really know what to do with myself. I have a few vague plans to do not-super-interesting life-admin stuff, but that's not exactly a reason to start vomiting rainbows and glitter out of sheer, uncontainable joy. I also had these intetions to make some art over the holidays (i haven't updated my art blog in like 8 months, it's shocking). Amazing how when you're studying you suddenly feel really intensely artistically motivated and inspired. Where did all that inspiration go?

It's always easier to start doing The Thing (as puddlesofun puts it) if you have some kind of germ of an idea to act as the pebble that breaks the surface tension of the blank page so you can dive in safely. So how about you all provide me with some things to draw? i dont' care if it's monster pin-ups or mice wearing tiny clothes or whatever. It just needs to come from outside, because it's too easy to automatically second-guess my own ideas. In return you will get some art posts from me to liven up your friends page during Julyvejournal...and beyond?
