Life is hectic

Yes it is. Sorry for the lack of posts. Life has recently taken a sharp left turn. For the better I hope. I finished my Kurt Cobain piece a while back and tried to hang a shroud of mystery around it since you never really see his face. Part of me thinks the whole idea kinda backfired with the reception of the picture, but fuck it. The picture speaks for itself and I think it's something people will enjoy later on as it grows older. I tried a lot of new things with it.

When I look at it, I get this odd feeling. Not sure what to describe it as but its kind of unsettling and I love it for that. My own work is trying to scare me and it's working. It's making me excited again. I really hope this is the way people feel when they view my work. It's satisfying and unnerving at the same time.

I started working on 2 new pieces. One, which it's sketch was done within a few hours (which is relatively quick for me). And Two, which is still in its conceptual stages. I took a brief (maybe a week long) break from them to re-focus and see which dangerous path I want to take with them.

In other news, after 2 months of bitter self loathing and mind altering cabin fever, I've finally landed a new job. In a way I'm going to miss not being home all the time. It began to reflect in my work but also deprive me. It almost came to a point where I just wanted to take a very long break from everything as I started to hate my work. Loosing your job really fucks with ya. But now, I feel that those experiences along with this new opportunity will really change my view and what ultimately goes down on paper.

Now that that is all out of the way, it's time to have lunch because I'm getting a little cranky :(
I'll be back later to talk about "Slush" a little more.

Later
