Man, I couldn't get into drawing today.
It's not even art block, I just couldn't get into it. Tried some design stuff and managed a few sketches but that's about it. Tried soing some other things: drawing Fran (you know where that leads), drawing myself based on my ID along with my familiars Kaeman and Nohman, anything else I could think of.
None of it even made it to the page. I just couldn't make a start on any of it as I really wasn't in the mood as much as I wanted to draw something.

Now that's just weird.

Probably a by-product of a serious lack of sleep (3am every night for a month is very bad, kiddies) and knowledge of all the stuff I've gotta do over this next month. Not to mention the creeping concern over how on earth I'ma pay for the rent in Stoke this year since I'm not taking out a loan. I'm not a student anymore and I don't want a bigger dept, I'm just up there for business and project stuff I gotta do.

Meh, it's probably just some sort of underlying stress creeping up on me. Wouldn't be surprised. It's cool though, just gotta start getting stuff more organised and actually work though the stuff I have to so as to check it off the list I just made.
It's a long list.

Been progressively going to bed earlier to ease myself into a better sleep pattern, but it doesn't help that I still don't get out of bed until about 11am. After waking up at 9:30. Now that's just bad.
Gonna have to launch myself outta bed in the mornings just to be sure I get up so I can eat and exersize for a change =p

Anyway, excuse my ramblings, I'm tired right now. Probably still won't be in bed until 2am though knowing me.

So for something more coherent.

I just wanna thank everyone who commented on my last journal and gave suggestions for reference. All of it's been a big help to me, even if it was just something different to look at. It's all given me something to think on and get inspiration from, so thanks :) Also, those must be the most responses I've ever had in a journal. That's pretty damn awesome.

Oh yes, apologies to those commissioning me. I feel like I'm taking far too long to get images done so I'll make better efforts to complete them faster. Don't worry, the quality won't suffer. I simply wouldn't allow it to :)

Right, time to rest for a while before I get back to whatever it is I should be doing :)

don't worry that does that to me if you take a rest
Try some light exercise to get your body tired, and then it will be easier for your brain to rest and get some sleep. Works for me, anyway.

:| hello suicide path - sleeping at 3am... Go to freakin' bed at max 10pm :P (your granny speaking here ^__^ )

For the rest - you can't have a smaller flat ? Apartment with someone else ?

As for the drawing issue ; those are the "Empty days" can't quite go against them. Even you manage to draw, you gonna hate it and won't see it with a good eye. Just let if flow. Sleep more. Be happier :D (forget the tango and fox - get more whiskey :P :giggle: no this last comment was NOT serious)

:bulletblack: If a vagina is art, so is a penis too.
:bulletblack: If a woman's ass hole is art, so is a man's ass hole too.
:bulletblack: If a woman's breasts is art, so is a man's chest too.
:bulletblack: If tied up women is art, so are tied up men too.
Heh, I think I just need to sleep better. As I type I'm trying to stay alert, and I haven't even done much today. Not good.
Caffiene is good though.

It's gotta get harder before it gets any easier.

Remember yesterday, prepare for tomorrow, live for today.
Haha!
Yeah, sleep is what I need. Just gotta get past the whole staying up late and getting up late thing. That's making me eat at funny times as well so I'm just not getting my energy.
I think I'll just lay here for a bit...

Gonna have to when I get back to Stoke. I'm gonna need some money to pay the rent and eat.
Other than that, the other things I'm doing pretty much are work. Commissions are giving me a bit extra money and the projects I'm doing further my career. I just gotta get them done... but more to the point I gotta get some decent rest.
