Upcoming projects are kinda in the air currently...
not sure what I will be doing next, as things are in suspended animation for now.
work has dried up and nothing is calling from the real world for my art.

...Been off drawing for a while,
some medical stuff been going on, and family stuff...
Will elaborate further in time.
On the plus side, generally things are good.
...ish.

Recently I have been re-thinking my artistic approach... again.
I guess its part of artist's block for some, but for me the flow of ideas seems to have kinda dried up recently.
i think it's to do with the previously mentioned medical stuff. 

Its not that the ideas aren't there, its rather that i just cant be happy with the direction they will go.
It's like I can see a direction i wanna go in, but cant put it into a straight forward enough place for me to draw them.
so rethinking things over, and adding to drawings i started years ago to keep my hand in...but im not really enjoying it.
Not sure what i do about that. Art used to be a way of life for me, but this past week or so, it just seems a hassle.

I guess the old adaj is true;
Nothing lasts. Everything is transient and ever-changing,
Everything is nothing, and all is one.
Quite the conundrum.

I imagine this will be like last time, and I'll come out on top. but things just get way too deep for me to even give my care to such trivial things as drawing. (never thought i would say that, but hey times change)
~I wish that life was straightforward and that we didnt have to contend with being such weak creatures racially.

...and of course, no matter how ill i may be, the groups i run gotta keep running, or i get irate messages from group members;
like "oh i didnt realise you had stuff to do other than ok my submissions - why did you start a group then?"
because i wasnt effing ill then. i had support from other co-founders in previous years.
now im on my own okaying submissions,
and neither art nor internet are the most important thing to my continued existence.
..and it really could be that serious.

Stay safe, artists of the world. Promise i will be back to upload more in the coming weeks.
love and peace be upon you all.
have a beautiful day.
