Wandering Hobo
So, today's one of those days when you come to bear on who you are, where you've come from, and where you're going.
-In short, I don't have any work to DISTRACT me from these questions.
Susan's getting married today. I feel SOMETHING about that, but mostly its self pity and not worth entertaining. That won't get me anywhere. My mum said something interesting about marriage before, and that was this- 'Weddings are just a day, the real challenge is how you continue after 'the big day''
Rob's getting married too, and all this talk of weddings has rekindled the hopeless romantic in me. I want a big wedding. Every last cheesy cliche. Big reception, the works.
At this stage I know its something I'll probably never have, and thats fine (well, not really, but whatever). I seem to live my life between overly high expctactions and very little results.
In the gutter, looking up, one might say.
That sounds dangerously close to calling myself a loser, but I don't think so. I become obsessed with things, be it animation, comic books, background design, concept art, music, and pursue them vigourously, in short bursts.Them being new areas, I have to start at the bottom rung, and I've been cool with that.
Comics is the newest one, after Comic Con I was in full Comics mode. I did feel like a pretender to the throne though, not having sufficient background knowledge. I've been catching up on my reading, and thoroughly loving it. Already though, I'm feeling the tug of other work options, because, lets face it, there isn't much money in comics vs hours contributed. I would quite happily colour comic books all day if there was a steady stream of work- VERY happily.
But half my time is spent LOOKING for work. While concept art won't solve this, the games industry won't die during this recession. Comics are turbulent waters right now, what with the Diamond price hike. Webcomics are the way to go, but I....don't have the solution to making a living from them. Webcomics tend to be like the funnies, excluding Zuda, and my comics have more drama than an angsty room full of Grey's Anatomy writers. Which is odd, because I HATE watching dramas.
Haha, in short, the whole thing can be summed up in this - I need a direction. Someone point me, and make me walk.
