30 Days of Night

Mar 03, 2005 18:30

when I first started this quarter, I hated my Analysis of Form class. Now that we're doing figure drawing, I enjoy it a whole lot more. I am learning a lot more than I expected, which is nice. I get to go on a field trip to the Frye Art Museum next week, which is better than drawing for four hours I guess.

I want to do too many things with my life. I think this is a common problem amongst people in my age group. I want to write horror comics, design for music, open my own clothing company, etc. I have too many ambitions in life. And I love them all equally. It makes every decision I make difficult. But I am confident that my BFA in Graphic Design will help me achieve a majority of what I want to do. I think I might start taking more writing classes. If I didn't need the money I get from work, I would start taking more writing class at a community college. But I guess you don't really need any sort of degree to write for comics.

Steve Niles was on G4TV last night, and it made me even more inspired to write for comics, especially since the horror genre is coming back with a vengeance. There are so many companies publishing horror comics, and at least half of those titles are being adapted to movies. It's a business on the rise that I wouldn't mind getting into. Steve Niles started writing for comics when he was 19. 19! He was my age when he broke into the business, and writing for Clive Barker's comics no less. That's huge.

I guess I am just hitting that indecisive point that everyone else seems to be hitting. I guess I should just let it pass and let things happen they way they were meant to happen, no matter what that means.
