Up up in the Sky, I Fly.
Also, I'm working through my to do list (which is HUGE) and finding a balance in creating art work, while making sure that everything else around me doesn't get neglected. This is pretty difficult. Once I start drawing I tend to spend hours just doing that. Not the best thing of course, because I do not want to turn into a couch potato...although I'm not watching TV. You know what I mean right? But more on this in another post.
This is a commission I did for a blog friend, ms. Dana Ward last year. She did such a lovely post about me after she received her illustration ^_^. If you're interested, you can find it by clicking mr. Magic Word. If you do, do browse around her lovely site, Saturday Mornings as well. Thanks so much Dana! Xoxo!
Sooo, what can you expect from me the upcoming months?
1. Doodle Give Aways: I will try to have these more frequently So stay tuned for the next one.
2. Adventures from me chasing my dream of becoming an illustrator: I thought it would be fun/interesting to share my thoughts/ stories of things that are fun, difficult, things I need to pay attention to. Going into a whole other direction and setting up as a - one man's - business isn't easy, but if you really want it, you'll face everything that comes on your path right. I should say one lady's business!
3. A Look in the Past: Little stories from my past, possibly also old drawings.
4. More Illustration work in progress posts!
5. ehmm...and more awesome things haha.
This is just to give you an idea of what's ahead of you. The whole purpose of rambling would be gone if I told you exactly what you could expect on my blog hehe. All I know is that 2011 is going to be a year filled with creative adventures! Are you ready to tag along?
Till next post lovely readers.
Ciao!
Love the lady on the swing, especially her hair colour, looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuper looking forward to the awesome year and the stuff you create :)
TJ, please go to my blog and read my post, for today, 8 Jan 2011 and pass it on to your followers. I want the world to know what happened today in Tucson.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing TJ! Drawing, doodling and illustrating (especially) do take hours! I have a hard time fitting in the drawing to tell you the truth. Good luck with your freelance business this year. On Monday my post is on marketing oneself on the web. Check it out if you have a chance. My career finally seems to be taking off after this recession and I hope yours does too!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Heather

ReplyDeleteYou know, if you're going to be "serious" about your art, spending hours drawing's not a BAD thing! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tj! I was little bit ill last week so i cannot say that i started 2011 as i dreamed of. I wish you and your family a great new year. See you around.
ReplyDeleteLove them both - of course!! ;) Your blog always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to check out the post I just did today - another friend of mine did a 'doodle' of me. I think it's safe to say yours makes me MUCH happier! :)
