i realize there are some people that have subscribed to see pictures i draw - and it's been a while, but i will be more consistent.
if this pic doesn't show up, just hit refresh a couple times..
just a little bit of what i've been up to. trying to draw more... trying to find a job... trying to get out of bed earlier... trying in general. it's good.
just when all the snow started to melt, i woke up today, and i could only see white throught the cracks of the blinds. it's cool though. it makes running on the canal more of challenge. i can actually run ON the canal when it's cold enough.
i've actually been thinking a lot about drawing lately. as i'm running along the canal, i can see lots of footprints. sometimes i can tell which ones are mine, sometimes not at all. sometimes i try running at the same pace as other foot prints, putting my foot where they just had theirs, just for kicks. . . and i realized it's a lot like drawing, for me at least. see, i don't know how tall or short the people making these marks were. i don't know if any of these people were walking... or running.. or what was going on inside or around them. but i still compare my pace to their footprints... and my footprints, which makes more sense, but still isn't that real.
it's easy for me to compare myself to somebody else, but it's an outward result of something much deeper and immeasurable. and if i keep comparing myself with yesterday's results, it'll limit my ability to step out, and see where i can be today.
it's like this thought i had. get to know your enemy too well, and you'll be surprised at what he might find in himself.
so basically what i'm trying to say is imitating the success of others is failing to be yourself.
anyways, the random attempts on my account seem to be going down a little, but i guess that's better than nothing. sorry to everybody who thought i was giving my account up - i had to pull that stunt to collect some information.
kay bye. burning_eyes
