Thanks to Rivkah and Sam for posting their words of encouragement. Getting out isn't the problem with me since I do. A little too much lately to be honest. I think it's been more of the "why"s and the worth of actually slaving over something that's been fuckin' me up. There IS the personal satisfaction end of things, of course, but there is also the peer acceptance or appreciation aspect of it that matters even more sometimes.
I'm convinced art is done for another and to communicate something to that other instead of just doing it and sticking it in a cave for no one to digest. What would the point of that be? Ever since doing comics as a fulltime gig, I've been concentrating on ever improving and never being satisfied. I think it's a good thing since you never rest on your laurels and keep pushing forth for something new and better. The flip side to that is there's plenty of doubt that tends to follow. Am I actually getting better or worse? Am I going in the right direction or what? Am I really gonna reach that ultimate goal?
Dude... I should just go back to how I saw things in art school. See everything as a process. Yeah, I think I will.
