I don’t believe that this blog has been very personal so far, as I’ve talked mostly about my art endeavers, and less about my internal wanderings. I think, that’s been telling of how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve been a bit disconnected from how I’ve felt about life, and lost a bit of the optimism of past moments. There’s a pretty real correlation between how I feel, and my outlook, and how productive and inspired I am to be be creative. I’ve struggled a bit with coming up with new and inspiring ideas as of late. While my process ( screenprinting and drawing ) is a lot more refined, my mental focus is a bit off, as I’ve wondered more and more about ‘what I’m doing’.

So, I guess this is a short statement to say that I’m struggling a bit with the scope of my work, and well, my life.

Creative takes courage, and I’m trying to hold onto that.
