Been drawing and reading bunches lately. Being single you kinda realize how much time you waste watching crummy movies and doing plenty of sedated, pointless activity...when with someone who's not creatively active. But i dunno...this may offend some of you - but artists are fkn nuts. The best ones at least.

In the moment i'm pushing towards future tattoo designs. I'd really like to pull off some nice pinup tattoos... but it's very difficult to find a form that i think would be worth tattooing. Tattoos have a completely different set of rules compared to normal illustration. I have tons of respect for guys like Capo and Craig Driscoll (look em up!) who do very consistent and beautiful pinup style works. Although it leans more on the cartooned side of things...perhaps that's the most effective approach to portraying a female figure...? =/ i dunno - i'm stumped

It's overall surprising when you run a google search for pin up tattoo - there aren't really too many good ones out there. Best I've seen was a Gil Elvgren piece Chris Garver did. The Comic style of guys like J Scott Campbell and Ross Campbell might very well be translatable.

On the reading side of things - my studies are filtering more and more into Eastern traditions and philosophy. I've been practicing yoga and meditation lately, seems to be of help. Other than that... still pushing on the invisible walls that hold my ability back. Frustrating but i will endure through it. One thing i have noticed - i have a tendancy to be all A.D.H.D. like in spreadin myself over all these things i'd like to complete. Anyone else find it hard to narrow down your artistic efforts to only a few mediums? anyways - check yall later! ~D
