Stupid brain tricks.

Note to self 2398.43:

Having difficulty with gesture when you haven't done figure work in at least two years now != suck at art, can't do this, and should have gone into something more in line with my abilities, like actuarial science.   You're out of practice, is all. 

Do - Grab the newsprint, make several dozen frightfully bad drawings. 
Pester [livejournal.com profile] avahasnoalias  for that figure drawing group's information and get to working from models again. 
Sketch unsuspecting sleeping friends and loved ones. 

EDIT:  Oh hey, did I lend Art and Fear  to one of you lovelies, or have I lost it and need to reorder it (heck, maybe I'll order a case of them and hand them out)?

Don't -
Freak out and have an artistic crisis.  They don't accomplish anything.  Well, maybe they boost the metabolism, but so what?

Also do - Go buy cat litter, ya dolt.  No, now.  Okay, get gas first.

Random studio pic, with painting that I'm getting back to after it languished for a long time on the wall.

Art and Fear - I think that's the book I read most of over at your place many many moons ago and found it insightful (in the way that a crack upside the skull is insightful). But no I don't have it.
Your studio, even from here, is inspirational. :) Go creative work!
