yeah, I feel like it's been at least one year. I put all of my art in storage. Well basically, it was the lasting effects of my previous journal on my life...I was trapped in mind.
But recently, I've been forced to come out of it. I learned the nature of my depression/laziness by reading a couple books about enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. Now, I'm beginning to feel a little freer.
The problem art-wise was, I was completely identified with my art as a person, I made being an artist into who I was, and then when I no longer liked my art, I didn't know what to do. I felt lost, destroyed. In between the time of that journal and now, I've made a jump in what Eckhart Tolle calls consciousness, or awareness. I can't use art as a crutch for my happiness or sense of self, but I the same time, I can breathe life into art, while being in touch with my truth self. ;: if you don't understand some of what I'm saying, it's because I'm using terms from the books, but basically, I feel a lot better now. more art now.
btw, thanks for keeping in touch(I didn't even make the journal with the idea that anyone would respond.)
It's good to hear that you are better now. I felt something like that months ago. I felt my artwork was crap & i couldn't be bothered to improve. i became lazy then later stopped drawing. I wish i had a book like that, to help me then. I never though about such a book. What you did was wise. lol yeah some of the terms you said i did get but overall i understand
I remember praying to God to help me start drawing again. lol might sound dumb but in no time i was back to drawing, drawings things i could only dream of drawing in the past.
I'm starting my serious training today before i start my art requests. I want to make sure my art requests are perfect because If the art requests comes out crap nobody is gonna ever requests anything for me. So i gonna draw the best 24 requests i've ever done in my life, if all goes well, who knows what could happening.
It's cool. we are still friends so i will always be around. talk to soon. Also looking forward to see you upload art here again.
