Creating things
I've found myself making a lot of things recently, and wanting to make other things. That's probably kind of vague, but it's pretty much the situation at hand. I'm making a presentation for the LSC conference, but I wonder if I would be more interested in editing a website, or maybe drawing. Drawing has been on my mind a lot lately, actually. Just today I burned through the archives of Ungrateful Biped, and the lst page was a little sum up of the series. The last line was "why aren't you making comics?" Why aren't I?
I really liked the visual style of Ungrateful Biped, maybe because it seemed like a style of art I could aspire too. A lot of the comics I see have incredibly intricate drawings, and I don't know if I could step beyond more basic sketching and figures. I guess the only way I'll really know is if I try, so that might be what I'll do when I get some free time. I'll have a month or so at my disposal soon, so maybe I'll see if I can be an artist. I don't know if there is anything I find more appealing at the moment than the thought of creating a piece of art, or literature, or something in between. Ultiamtely I want to express myself, and get my ideas out of my head and onto something physical. That said, I worry sometimes that I am too prone to adopt another person's style or ideas. After listening to Mitch Hedburg for about an hour, I was accused by BJJ of speaking like him on a number of occasions. Gah, I'm like a lazy sponge...Or an active sponge, I guess. Sponges tend to lay around (although I do that on occasion too).
I guess I'll end with a list of things I like. It just struck me that things I like are...well, things I like. A list of positive elements of my life can do nobody any harm.
THINGS I LIKE: (in no particular order)
1. Frisbee
2. Lauren
3. Comics
4. Healthy grass
5. Imagination
6. NERF guns
This list could be really long, but It would be weird just writing a huge list of people and objects. I also feeling corny putting down things like "my friends," or putting down corny shit like rainbows and chocolate sunshine. So for now, this will do.
If you're lucky (unlucky?) I may feel an urge to start posting art of my own. Who knows.
