rambling
Friday, June 26th, 2009In about 2 weeks I’ll finally be done with school for this year and begin a short break before the insanity of the next year starts up. I intend to go back to the normal comic-ish format once I have that break. It takes time to finish a fully painted page, and I haven’t had time lately. But I do have 2 pages started that just need color, and some others to work on when my time is mine again.
I don’t know why, but I’ve never been the type who was able to really devote herself to making art. I mean, I graduate from art school excited to finally have some time on my hands to make things my way– and within a year I go and throw myself back into school to study in a field that (at this level at least) has nothing at all to do with art. So I’m stuck trying to divide my time between attempting to memorize cell anatomy and statistics formulas, and mixing paints… Even in art school I couldn’t just settle into a life of drawing and painting classes, I had to stuff my schedule with HTML and ActionScript, or random ass architecture classes just cause I get bored so easily and needed a challenge.
I like to think that some day I’ll figure out a way to synthesize the vast database of random knowledge that’s stored in my head at this point. Instead I mostly just feel useless for knowing a ton of shit that no one needs to know all at once and not being able to put almost any of it to use in real life.
Ok, rant over.
