Got bored...
...decided to sketch.
However the result won't be posted here as
nymwae has claimed it as hers (it was based off one of her ideas - fanart!) and she doesn't want me to post it. I'm OK with that (really) so don't spam her or anything, I just wanted to note that I did something. Hadn't put pencil to paper for awhile and it felt kinda good, even if I was really rusty. (Seriously, when it comes to drawing, I'm not the best to begin with, and I loose it really fast when I don't use it regularly.) All of which reminds me that
nymwae hit on something in her journal recently that really resonated about time, art, life and the fact that we really don't feel like we have time for all three.
Besides the occasional fanfic I haven't really done any artsy stuff of late, and I miss it. I like working with my hands, turning things over and watching them grow. Cutting, building, adding, manipulating.... I keep telling myself that when the weather gets a little more balanced, I can get back to doing some stuff out back or in the garage. Or I can clear out the kitchen space and do some small stuff inside. Actually, I can probably do some bigger stuff sooner rather than later as I am being forced to clean out my garage so we can have rehearsals there. (Long story, don't ask.) In any case, I need to start working on SOMETHING soon or I'm going to go mad(-der than usual). That was why I liked taking classes, as it was something of an "enforced" outlet for all this.
But if I want to take the classes, I need to work the extra hours to get the money. Which cuts into the art time.... *headdesk*
My theatre gig is my only "artistic" outlet at the moment. Which is good, I love it, we're doing well, but I don't feel like I have the time I need to really do it up right. And we're short some essential manpower so we're all multi-tasking and it's stress we don't really need. At the same time, though, I'll take this stress over work stress any day of the week. Oi! I wish there were more professional theatre gigs in Austin. I don't quite have the connections (yet) to land one of those. Working on it though...
