hooray for friends!

With the purchase of my friend's used laptop, i have begun the long journey of getting back into my artistic groove...she was ever so gracious to leave me Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash...so once again, i have the power to revamp my website...although i will say, that task will take quite a bit of time since i have to become reacquainted with the programs...

and with that being said, yesterday i started working on my new logo...i won't post it just yet since it's not finished...only outlined...but i must say that i like it compared to my current logo...for so long, i've come up with countless thumbnails of what my new logo would look like, but for some reason, i could never settle on one in particular...and with the one i'm working on now, it hit me like an epiphany, while i was at work...isn't it grand when inspiration comes out of nowhere?

so now i must go finish working on my logo...the creative juices are flowing through me once again...hehe...

so it starts...

bonjour! so this is my first blog...be nice...as of right now...my artistic life is flatlining...it is in desperate need of the paddles of inspiration...hopefully through this blog...i'll be able to find my muse...that je ne sais quoi that helps kickstart the artist in me...

so far...i've only been able to come up with sketches of characters...(e.g. the platypus pictured above...and that one is even lucky to get colored)...i've been trying to work on my style...and i think i've got it...but that nagging feeling of "it's not good enough" is always present...how do i know when to say "just screw it" and go with what i'm comfortable with...i'm so lost to the point of wanting to abandon the whole thing...i don't know what to do...

i need help...does anyone have any ideas? tips? anything?
