So how about a post that's not about selling things?

It actually does feel really good to be making art with purpose, even simple things like these have been. I say art with purpose, what I mean is, I'm making art with intent to finish it. I think my art block over the past couple years has had a lot to do with the fact that having proven to myself that I could create epic pieces with in depth thought to composition and lighting and atmosphere and color and perspective and all of the things, I somehow decided that I had to do that every time. And being fairly ADD and impatient with things, I got to a point where I didn't want to even try.

I don't know that I'm past it yet, but it seems that the fact that I can now see it indicates that I'm on the right track.

I need to reteach myself that it can be fun. That it's supposed to be.

I'm sorry I went so long without making art.
