Day 639 of 365 More.
21 months. That’s how long I’ve been doing this. It’s been a whirlwind journey. People keep asking me how I keep going after all this time. Honestly, I don’t know. There are days like today when I don’t have an idea at all. Where I don’t feel like going on. And yet, I just kinda do. It’s weird. At this point I’d just feel wrong if I DIDN’T take a picture. So I do. Whether I have an idea or not. 639 days and I just feel like I’ve taken every picture there is to take. And yet I’ll come up with one tomorrow too. *sigh* Clearly, I got problems.
I think one of the things sapping my creativity with 365 is that I’ve found other outlets. Cosmic Hellcats is going really well. I’m very proud of it. The most recent episode is up, so go check it out. Max and I will be doing an art show on Saturday where we will be displaying it.
I’ve also gotten back into working on my tarot deck. I still have a couple more cards shot but that I need to edit and some that I want to redo. Maybe I’ll actually finish it and be able to sell it one of these days.
But not today. I think I maybe even like this picture, but I just am not feeling creative at the moment at all.
Blah… being an artist is hard.
It IS hard! And it sucks sometimes, but hopefully it is all worth it. Here’s to another 21 months.
Damn. 21 months? Wow. That’s a long time. And a lot of pictures. I’m not even at 100 yet and I’m already running out of ideas.
This is so rad though. I love it.
And you should totally finish your tarot deck and sell it. It’s one of the neatest projects I’ve seen. It’s really unique, I’ve never seen anything like it before.
this is way cool!
Oh yeah! Good one! You don’t think this is creative? Ha!

wow very cool!
@M.Gruber: heh. We’ll see. I’m just taking it one day at a time right now.
@like_shipwrecks: selling the tarot deck has always been the plan. i need to get off my ass and get to submitting to publishers though.
@macmurphy66: thanks.
@lrayholly: eh… it was a random, off the top of my head thing. Didn’t really think about it that much at all.
@disco~stu: thanks.
@That Damn Redhead: thank you.
@Ernie E: yep… pretty much.
@nicky’s_eye_view: thanks.
I guess it could be described as production work. Not necessarily always timeless art, but art created out of a sense of discipline. Still, if interest is consistent and the numbers are up, then there is reason to press on tomorrow. Creativity perhaps is right around the corner.
damn. 21 months. and i’m only into day 12 and I’m stuck! argh!
You are an inspiration! I like this shot…very creative.
When a creative habit turns into an obsession – it’s a thin line between wanting to keep going and feeling you just can’t stop… right now. Just do it if it still feels fun! 🙂
@DeHoll: eh… I just get moody sometimes. Don’t mind me.
@excalipoor: you’ll get there. It really does get easier. Just have fun with it.
@*ManyFacets*: thank you.
@iHanna: sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes not. But I would definitely regret quitting.
@That Damn Redhead: that’s great. I wish I had thought to curve my pics. That really makes it.
