I hate to admit it but I've been fighting a slump lately. Not feeling like drawing or even sitting at my drawing table. It blows. Forcing myself to work in these situations just puts out crap work so I tend to sit back and chill for a bit while I regain some sort of composure. I used to scour the net for other artists in the past but that hasn't been doing it for me lately. I need some more inspiration!

I spent a large part of yesterday cleaning and adjusting my studio to change things up. My new computer arrived so I set that up next to my old one and I'm currently transfering files and uploading programs. Oh, man. This new 20 inch widescreen is sweeeeet. Hopefully this little change will help motivate me more. I think my old setup was too confining and felt too much like a cubicle. I've moved my table so that I don't face a wall anymore and put some distance between me and my monitors so I don't keep checking e-mail or playing FreeCell. I've racked up 4000+ games on that thing with a 75% win ratio. Not bad.

I've been hooked on pesto. It comes in a jar and all I have to do is mix 2 tablespoons of the paste into some cooked pasta. It's SO freakin' good and fast. I'm in love. I sometimes mince some garlic into it to add come kick. I hafta make sure I have a day buffer before I go out though since I stink after eating it.

What else... Oh, I started guitar lessons on Tuesday which was cool. It's great to have a good teacher. He lives 3 blocks away so in terms of convenience it's the shit. I'm starting with the basics, so, like, finger exercises, scales and Yesterday by the Beatles. I've been messing around with chords for too long so I figure knowledge of actual notes and technical fundamentals is exactly what I need.

Might be going out tonight. Not sure yet. Anything to help me get back on the drawing horse!!
