sleepy

The cycle of creativity or lazy days? I'm hibernating. I can't for the life of me sit at my drawing board. I want to be out looking at books, museums, shops with hopes that a spark will ignite me and send me back. I also want to eat like crazy. What the heck is this all?

birthday invitation

 

Having full creative control over a project is not always as easy as it should be but this one flew off like a breeze.

This is the invitation that my son is hand-delivering to his VIP list at school. He should like it as he considers himself very R&roll. I may or may not decide to punch out the black holes if I find the right tool to do it well.

Stark Naked

I have no confidence in my work. I had to present my  drawings to my client yesterday and I felt the way I usually do when I present my work:  flabby and weak.

I am absolutely blind about what I produce;I have no idea what others see in my work. Which image is truly distorted? Is it the self-image or the one that others see? Who gets the best viewing?

In my drawing, my question isn't "am I fat or ugly" but rather the ultimate fear: "am I a hack?" Fearing that I know the answer to that first question leads me to the next question: "will I be exposed?" Each presentation is a risk of exposure.   So pathetic.
