Burnout

I’m knackered but I have had a very productive day in studio. I seriously need to pace myself though…to avoid burnout. Being in the studio erodes the concept of time….for me and I don’t remember to eat….I work nonstop…..one project seamlessly morphing into another…..almost as though I operate within a vacuum…a freeze frame of creativity. It is only when I get home do I realise just how knackered I am.

Must remember to give myself a break!!!

Epiphany…

It has suddenly dawned on me…..that I prefer painting to making books! Should have been pretty obvious cos I spend so much time painting the paper before using the painted paper to make a book. Why not just paint onto canvas and voilà…done. I suppose I like to work things out…..always taking the long way […]

Sooooo restless……..

I brought my work home…..now I can’t sleep!!!! It’s 3 am and I’m itching to go paint!!!! Now I know why I hardly bring work home….(whenever I do I get restless). I just want to sleep but I also want to go sign my painting and apply one more isolation coat……aaarrrgggghhhh…..

Self portraits

Recently I find myself sketching more self portraits……which is quite interesting considering that I went through a sketching ‘my hands’ phase….not complaining. It’s always great to sketch! However I’m always so unforgiving of my attempts when sketching myself …. …..maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to paint myself…..(body paint sounds nice)….till then I might […]
