sketchy.




these are my overdue sketches. this counts as last week and this week. i have sketched my brains out. i have a notebook full of chairs. and for some strange reason i feel as though i have to sketch chairs, until i feel like i have conquered the art of sketching. to my own personal standards. i keep feeling like some of my sketches were not good enough. i feel like i have lost my game. i guess this is what happens to talents if not used, or developed, if not nourished. i feel as though i am not up to what i used to be. so i am upping my game. and i am going to start sketching whenever i can.

i found how easy it is not to put time into a talent or goal. to let it slide. there are so many many things that i should do, get the house in order, pay bills, laundry. etc. i love my new drawing pencils, and i wanted to sketch-but i kept running out of time. i think i need to work on time management. however i feel like my life is just flying by me. what happened to march?

"sometimes i feel that life is passing me by, not slowly either, but with ropes of steam and spark-spattered wheels and a hoarse roar of power or terror. it's passing, yet i'm the one who's doing all the moving." ~martin amis, money

happy happy monday! if you have any tricks on time management. do comment.
