So I decided to walk to a nearby art store for inspiration/materials (all of mine are at my own apartment). I STILL haven't done anything. I just don't know what to do!! And I have to say that not having my huge array of art supplies at my fingertips is proving to be a challenge as well. But I will say that I greatly enjoyed my trip to Plaza. I love art stores so much. I bought two 11x14 drawing pads of higher quality paper (to encourage myself to make some nice, finished drawings) that were on SALE for like 6 bucks a piece (very cheap), an eraser pencil, a purple pen, and a brick eraser. Eclectic combination of things but I couldn't bring myself to purchase something that I know I already own so I was left with a few random things haha. Only to come back and find that Jason doesn't even have a pencil sharpener here!! Killing me... oy.
A little while ago Jason emailed me about an illustration contest that Threadless was putting on so perhaps I'll tackle that. Gives me a bit more direction to get myself going while I try to figure out what I want to do with myself in the future. Jason and I were discussing aesthetics last night following our viewing of the most recent episode of Face/Off (love that show). Their challenge next week is to make a Tim Burton inspired character, which is AWESOME, because that aesthetic, if I had to choose, would probably be my favorite. Creepy but beautiful. Jason used the word "Crooked" to describe it. I love that! So I'm trying to think of something that showcases the "Crooked Beauty" I love so much. A clothing line called "Crooked Beauty"? An art collection based on the idea of crooked beauty? I don't know. That's where I'm stumped. But I'm definitely going to do some more brainstorming today. This is the most inspired I've been in quite a while. I don't want to waste it.
