I am an artist at heart. It is difficult and taxing work. For a while now I went through a period of creative drought. I was working on new projects and trying new things. Trying to find inspiration once again to take me by the hand and guide me in the next direction. Much of what I do is dependent on my clients, and that adds a dynamic to every project that takes certain aspects beyond my hands and adds difficulties. I am writing this in a time of upturn for me. Things are starting to move in new directions. The business is flowing and soon enough I will find myself in the weeds once again.
Life is a constant balancing act. For the last month or so I was developing new social contacts and going out more and I found myself left longing for my work. Longing to create something new. To throw myself back into photoshop to design. In doing so I have redesigned my website and am moving in constantly new directions.
There always seems to be something just beyond the horizon that I am always seeking. It is a gift and a curse to always want more. I am rarely ever idle and my mind has recently been compared to intergalactic warfare. I found that it fit nicely. I find that this is a good place to end my rant for now.
I think I may start to do these on a more regular basis. I would like to know your thoughts.
