i spent half of saturday at the local mall
being a rat and drawing some dino-studies. why the mall? well it is the closest touristic attraction i can come up w/ dealing w/ time & $$$ constraints. i positioned myself either in the food court or in the apex for the most foot traffic. it makes me feel like i'm on vacation abroad...and you know what, why not? people watching seems to be the same any where in the world if the mood is right. i have a feeling if i do it again soon the feeling won't be the same.
i don't know how much i got accomplished this week, but a new body of work is starting to emerge. i have one almost finished w/ the constraint of $$$ to finish up the framing. i have another one half way or so done, and quite a few collaborative works being worked on. i'm starting to see a year's worth of rebuilding and learning painting turn into fruition. this is a nice feeling finally, yet i have been noticing a slip on focus, intensity, and drive in my work--although, it could be just things are getting easier for me.
