Feed the Beast

I thought that I would take this opportunity to try and explain why this blog is disorganized and I have not kept up with it. It's not like I have a packed social schedule or am contantly working on this project or that one. The easiest explanation is that I'm more than a little overwhelmed by not only the artwork itself but the breadth of the time it represents since most of it is from another time in my life.

Right now I don't feel connected to much of anything let alone some pictures that I drew years (decades) ago. I'm talking specifically of the last two drawings that were put up as exampled of my some of mey earlier work. I watch "Glee" (it's my guilty secret pleasure) and the Chris Colfer character once said, "I'm filled with ennui." At the time I thought that a mighty peculiar thing to say, but I kind of get it: everything is flat and colorless, yet nothing is WRONG. I've got nothing to complain about: my life is as good as can be expected, I have good normal friends, my legal issues are going well (if not fast), and I have enough money to meet my immediate needs. I hate to think that I'm a stereotype, y'know, the proverbial tortured artiste. I've just hit a lull, that's all. And to those of you patient enough to stick this out, this will pass and I will post new works, piss more people off and otherwise waste my talent and potential in a spectacular public spectacle. This I promise.
