So, this is a post explaining the lack of creative stuff over the last few weeks or so. A severe artist block hit me hard and quick. Suddenly I was stricken with no motivation and inspiration to mark down the ideas I've had onto paper to get them out to the world. My artwork, and t-shirts as a result, suffered directly, obviously.
What I didn't seem to understand was the fact that maybe this was not an artist block at the root. While it would certainly look as such from first glance, after I looked into the situation deeper in my own mind I found what my problem was. My depression was getting deeper. It wasn't so much a loss of inspiration as much as it was a total loss of interest. Of course it didn't stop here, as I noticed myself loosing interest in many other things around me. It was frightening to say the least.
How could I loose interest in this? It didn't seem so possible to me. My drawings are the one thing I've held closest to me my entire life, and the fact I have been getting better in my style and hey, even cashing in on it a little bit, just pushed me to get better. Thats my goal, to get better at it.
After giving it thought, I believe I may have found it's not gone. Lately I have been feeling myself get worse from all these thoughts and feelings swirling around in my brain, so I need that rescue ladder. My drawings are tools of my emotions. That blank canvas is the window. Putting the two together allows my thoughts to become clear not only to others, but to myself. Because of all this, I have came to a clear conclusion.
I will attack this head on. Letting myself fall to the ground and letting this feeling win will destroy everything for me, and I am not about to give that up now, not now.
InkShell returns with a full cartridge of ink.
A planned "storyline" will take place as well, I am going to bring this higher then it ever was before, just watch.
