procrastinating
Ninja January 17th, 2007
The BIG projects. The stress that comes w/ it. The procrastination that results. Oh yah, I’ve been putting this work project off for a while. It’s massive. It’s due tomorrow. It’s barely started. Why don’t you go work on it then?! Um, b/c I really don’t want to (but I will, no worries, I always pull through). I have the urge to clean my room. The urge to take up new hobbies. The urge to blog.
But you don’t want to hear me whine about work that needs to be done, now do you? Instead, I’ll tell you some nice things that I did accomplish:
• I finished some last minute tweeks on my poster and sent it out for a proof at about 2 AM this morning. My good friend at the proofer’s called me tonite and said he’d deliver it tomorrow. Wohoo! I already know I’ll probably still need to make changes, being that I am an anal person w/ serious issues.
• I have more personal project ideas! But I’ll keep you in suspense. Not b/c they’re uber-secret or that I’m a jerk. But right now, I’m tired and I don’t feel like articulating them. Yah, I am lazy like that.
• I read this fun lil’ pdf by Hugh MacLeod. It cleared some things up for me.
• Found a new artist that I like. He’s younger than me. Makes me jealous of his talent. But it’s not about keeping up w/ the Jones. It’s about doing the best you can w/ what you have, at least that’s what my mum tells me. And even if I lack the serious talent needed to render jaw-dropping illustrations, I love doing it. Drawing that is, not that I love my lack of skills. And well, I’m gonna keep at it. I figure even if everyone else hates it, at least I’ll have fun through the process. =)
Oh yah, I’m going to start posting my illustrations. Just sketches here are there. And I’ll show you the steps along the way. I find that I am always so much more interested in the process than the finished product. Although, it doesn’t hurt to have an awesome end result.
Blahdy, blah, blah. I’ve gone on long enough. Back to work. I love doing book layouts in other languages.
