enjoying my new cool pen

















































I'm drawing my way through the sea horses. Before this it was artichokes. I can't imagine what I'll get fixated on next... I'm just glad to be drawing. I'm ashamed to admit it's been over a decade since I've drawn with any sort of regularity. I'm determined to change that. This blog is supposed to be the place where I fight to get my mojo back. But more often than not, I just post about the beautiful things I see others doing. What does that mean when you can't bring yourself to express yourself on your own blog. I think it means you're afraid. Afraid of sucking... afraid of someone else thinking you suck. Like there's some sort official suck police just waiting for me to post and then they'll pounce and a wall of derision and judgement will shower down on me from all four corners of the internet. Well that's enough of that. I've set a goal to do fifty drawings. I probably won't put them all here. I just need to put pen to paper and do it.

I'm enjoying you enjoying your new pen. That first one is fantastic. (And Joseph will be so impressed when I show him!)

Screw what anybody else thinks! Draw seahorses! have fun. Just don't set the bar so high for yourself that you beat yourself up if you don't make it all the way! :)
