penguin feet
Jun. 2nd, 2010 11:58 pmI got those vibram fivefingers yesterday morning. I had to relearn where my feet needed to land on my bike pedals lol. Walked around a bit with them yesterday and at night when I took them off my feet were sore but it a different way than any shoes I've worn before. They felt good, oddly enough.
Today I wandered around sunset a little bit in them while talking on the phone to pop. A good hour at least of walking in them. I have an awareness of the bones in my feet in a way I haven't noticed ever before. They take some getting used to, certainly, both how they feel and how they look (penguin feet!), but well worth it, I've decided.
-------------
Also I drew again today. That's two in a row now, and I actually spent a decent amount of time developing this one. Don't have access to a scanner. If I have time on friday between public transit back to the east bay and biking to work (also need to write a rent check and scoop cat litter)... I'll scan it and whatever I draw tomorrow.
It feels good to be drawing again. Actually creating stuff I'm happy with. I think I had plateau'd a bit and didn't know how to break into something that interested me again, among other creative blocks. The past two days I've been starting with a circle drawn on the page instead of a rectangular frame. Somehow it gets me thinking about the perspective much more effectively. I'm not yet pushing the distortion the way I see it in my mind but I'm excited to develop it.
