The easing of inertia

I know I never posted the results of my room makeover, but to be honest, it has been in a state of flux ever since the day I began the project. It's still incomplete (largely due to a lack of funds). I've relocated my work space to my grandfather's office, where I have a rent-free room to design until my heart's content. The only problem I've been having is a lack of creative action. I think I was still a bit stunned after being supplanted from my previously vibrant environment. The drastic lag in pace and adjusting to a rather laborious part-time job has sort of asphyxated me. However, progress is slowly being made. I will share with you the few bits and pieces that have emerged during recent days.

Today I began sketching (roughly) a graphic/comic episode about my stepfather who ended up looking a bit too much like a bloated Ricky Gervais.  I definitely struggled with trying to replicate him... though I didn't have a rubber/eraser so I had to plug on, errors and all.

Pattern idea

I'm still trying to get back into the momentum of doing work, but realize that I can't force myself and that it will take time to become reacclimatized to life here. Hopefully when my belongings arrive after floating on the ocean for several months, it will help. At present, my top priority is paying off my school loans and getting organized for the next phase, which will hopefully encompass LOTS of artistic endeavours.  In the meantime, I'll keep my eyes on the inherent beauty this small town exemplifies.
