Artsy Fartsy

This weekend I have no plans to go anywhere. I will come home from work, shut the door and not open it until I leave for work Monday morning. Unless I have to. Like an emergency or if Ben and Jerry’s is being given out for free. I have been looking forward to this for a while – it’s going to be my art retreat weekend. Sometimes, I really need these types of weekends. Hopefully, I can get a lot of designs done for the shops (holiday and general), take care of some housekeeping in there (one of them needs a section icon) and work on some of my craft projects. There are so many sketches sitting on my hard drive just ready to be finished and colored in Illustrator. Let’s just say that if I was to stop sketching now and just focus on clearing out the sketches folder, I would have enough stuff to keep me busy for a year.

Since I intend to be working on projects that already have the basics laid out, I am hoping it won’t be like the picture on this entry. I came up with the idea for this one a while ago. Do you ever have those days where you really want to do something creative or arty, but when you actually sit down, nothing comes to mind? It’s like the paper stares at you, daring you to put a mark on it’s blank, white surface. You have ideas running rampant throughout your day when you are doing other things, but then, poof! they are all gone when you actually have some creative time.

Anyway, there will be pictures uploaded to my various accounts (Facebook, Flickr, deviantART, etc.) with whatever I get done. Hopefully, it will be a lot! See ya on the other side! 🙂
