Eh...I finally caved and joined the ranks of Google+ after avoiding it for forever, not wanting to get involved in one more internet thing that would steal time from art. Though I've not spent any time yet trying to figure it out, I did add people to my circles, to the point that I reached my limit for the day already. Whether this was a good decision remains to be seen, but so far I am overwhelmed as the page scrolls and scrolls and scrolls and is filled with some things that I have no interest in whatsoever. As I type this, JayZ fills several sections. JayZ? I could care less about him! Dwell...yes, that one is great! I really only expected information on posts from the people I connected with. Perhaps you have some opinions on this? Should I run? Is it a colossal time sponge? ...or does it really make it easier to keep up with friends?
Over the years, my online friends and I have had many conversations about finding time for art. I have a new one for you. When my husband and I moved to this apartment in October, we put off getting cable since we spend more time online than watching television. One week turned into two, into three. I DO NOT MISS IT--AT ALL! And the best part of it all...I have so much more time for making art! I have decided that I will not be going back. No cable. No television. Life is so much better! It is a time sponge! Sucks the life right out of life!
So with all of that said...I think I should probably post some art, since that is my blog's purpose after all! How about some Burbs! Love this movie so much...it is difficult for me to hit pause. I stopped working in this sketchbook for now due to a boredom which slowly crept in. I like the idea of drawing from movies when that is all you can get to at the time. I only have a few more spreads that I haven't posted yet. Maybe one day I'll start this one back up...but I am hoping that I find so much more inspiration in other things that it will not be necessary!
