On All Things Art

I had someone tell me recently that it might be interesting if I tried other forms of art, not the current dreamscape-swirl of graphics that I seem to be stuck in. This seemed like a good idea - always need new formats, neh? The question is, what sort of format? How can I express myself the way I want, without it getting... awkward?



How could art be awkward, you ask? Simple. He suggested drawing... that's so direct. You have an image, you put it down on paper. See, my graphics? They aren't the bait that my words are... they are simply, purely, pleasurable for me, at least the ones I like best are. They hold an emotion better than my words can, at least for me. They remind me of my mood at the time and of my hopes and dreams that I poured into them. They are little tiny glimpses into my own mind... which is actually pretty rare, my mind is a mess.



So I'm pretty sure that yes, if I drew enough, I could just use my own images... I actually wouldn't mind drawing SOME of them, and going out with a camera to get a bunch more... but there are some things I don't think I could draw as well as they are shown in someone else's drawing, or illustrate as clearly as a certain picture I found... so I'm gonna stick to this format as well, even if I do find a new one.



*~* shameless plug *~* Check out Irene Radford's website - designed it for her, yay! She's a great fantasy author, and her Merlin series is incredible. Anyway, go checkitout... it was one of my first 'official' web page jobs, I even got paid! *is still stunned by this*



Anyway... enough is enough. I'm gonna go be un-sober again... Brat keeps asking me out for dinner, and it sounds soooo good, but it means spending time away from home, away from my computer, away from my little tiny safe box. You can just guess how much I want to do that. So I prob'ly should.
