Sometimes... - 06/02/08

...the thickness of my own plywood lined skull frightens me.

I've fallen face down in Leopard, finally upgraded on my laptop. Ever since, I've become an RSS feed reading fiend. A couple of great sites that remain a tasty bite of creative inspiration are now feeding directly into my MacMail. I love it.

But having looked at the sites of other illustrators, a lightbulb finally went off. For months, I've been having a bitch of a time getting down to the grunt work of churning out pages to finish my Magnum Opus comic(us?). Was reading a collective blog the other day and a bunch of the members were posting their warm ups for the day. They're concept designers or animators or illustrators, but they were all putting up this great rough messy stuff.

Yes, Nye, warm ups. I wouldn't do anything strenuously physical without a warm up (christ, in rowing we used to do a 45 minute warm up for a 6 minute race). But I've been trying to go without "stretching and warming up" with my work illustration work. Silly rabbit...

Anyway, off for more doodling....
