Reality-Glitch

Over on glitch-in-reality.tumblr.com/

So I've been REALY inactive for quite some time now.  School.  Life.  The usual.  Art has been a pride and joy of mine since I was very young, and I still enjoy it to this day, or, at least, I think I still might.

Here's the thing: I've been in the mind set of "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.", and I enjoyed drawing and doodles so much I though "Why not take art classes and become a professional artist?"

Because it's so much work that it sucks all the fun out of it, that's why not.  Turns out, the real reason art made me happy was that it let me get the many worlds' worth of ideas in my head literally onto paper without all that pesky writing; the act of the artistic process alone isn't enough.  This means that if I don't have full creative control over what I create, I simply can't carry out the task, there just isn't enough motivation: in the short term, I've not actually doing what I've always wanted, in the long term the tedium and sheer effort required completely overshadow any semblance of working towards my dream.  Or rather, my fantasy at this point.  It's become so much that I'm struggling to find motivation to express myself creatively in any meaningful way.

I hope that this ends soon, I'd hate to squander my imagination.

This surprise may be a piece of art, some points, something from your wishlist, etc. If you want or need something, I will "Pay It Forward." Get it? But keep in mind it's a surprise, which means you don't choose what you get. I do.

Here's the deal though: If you comment "I'm in," you must do this as well. "Pay it Forward" is the name of the game. You've been told!

Post a journal like this, follow the rules, and let's all try to make people happy this year. 

People who are Paying It Forwards!

My artwork posting-rate has dropped dramatically now that school has started.  I'll still be around, and I'll even write a little, but imagery will be much less common for now.

I've finally got Adobe Flash working on my computer again and I've already posted a new page yesterday.  I'm also going to try a faster update scheduled and see if I can still keep up with my work.  I'll also post a page this weekend and from then on update each Sat and each Sun until further notice.  I hope all of you are as happy as I am about being able to continue this.
