This past week I found myself struggling to balance drawing and figuring out my life. Unable to do this successfully resulted with a very unproductive week.
I need to get this rant over with. I feel as if my precious studio time has been wasted. I SPENT OVER SIX HOURS ON ONE HEAD. After struggling for an hour I hated it; took a second look, decided it was the best part of the drawing, then realized it was too big for the body after stepping away from the drawing for the day. It was going to bother me way too much so I very painfully erased it. I then spent 5 1/2 hours trying to fix it. I hate it but it's time to move on. It should've only taken a half an hour to do but I couldn't let it go, I felt so betrayed. This was the section of the drawing I couldn't wait to render (such exciting value relationships!) and it was giving me Hell. What got me through all this was possibly the best studio mix I've ever made! Most of the songs remind me of stuff that played on pandora in the studio a lot the last few months of school. I can't NOT share it so here it is:
1. "Dog Days Are Over" Florence and the Machine
2. "Fidelity" Regina Spektor
3. "1234" Feist
4. "I'm scared" Duffy
5. "L.E.S. Artistes" Santigold
6. "Maps" Yeah Yeah Yeahs
7. "1901" Phoenix
8. "Between Two Lungs" Florence and the Machine
9. "Cosmic Love" Florence and the Machine
10. "The Greatest" Cat Power
11. "Sort Of" Ingrid Michaelson
12. "Samson" Regina Spektor
13. "Almost Lover" A Fine Frenzy
14. "Paris" Yael Naim
15. "You Picked Me" A Fine Frenzy
16. "The Way We Get By" Spoon
17. "Young Folks" Peter Bjorn and John
16. "Electric Feel" MGMT
17. "Sleepyhead" Passion Pit
18. "Fallin' For You" Colbie Caillat
It's almost like being transported back to the studio. I'm starting to think that it may just be the actual space of that particular studio that I am missing (not just the company). I'm pretty sure I could tell you exactly what CD was playing when I made most of my drawings from drawing two ( as well as what movies were on for each section of my color copy in painting).
I made french toast the other morning for the first time since high school. It actually turned out really good, however, I did set off the fire alarm. Thankfully opening the back door made it stop fairly quickly. Something was bound to happen. Me and the kitchen rarely ever get through a meal without some small argument. Well I guess it's back to work.
