I was able to get several things into the mail on Saturday, which leaves the following still to do:
1. Package to Cally
2. Letter to Jill
3. Letter to Cynthia
Today has been a very couch-potatoe-y sort of day. I attempted to do some art stuff, read for a little bit, watched a little TV (Spaced! Yay!), wrote out the very rough draft of a paper due Tuesday, attempted to do some more art stuff, ate, listened to music on Pandora, reorganized files on my computer, read more, listened to more music, ate, and now I’m trying to do art stuff again.
I haven’t been feeling very creative lately, but I’ve been doing some reading and looking at a lot of art journals people have made on site like Embodiment and Jr__nal and they’ve inspired me a little bit. As have the books I’ve been reading, especially “What It Is” by Lynda Barry which is aimed more at writing, but Barry does really gorgeouse collage/paintings with are amazing to look at. Anyway, looking at all of these things, and my old sketchbook from my last year of high school where I experimented a lot more and felt really free to do whatever, has made me feel more able to create. There are projects that I should be working on, but because I feel so tense at the thought of getting out materials and working, I’m afraid to work on them. I’m so afraid of doing “bad” art that I end up not making any art at all.
