Summertime is a Good Time

…or at least it’s supposed to be a good time. July has been my worst month to date in terms of productivity. Everything, from my own sketchbooks to my posting frequency, has gone downhill, probably because I am very preoccupied with other matters. Whenever I start drawing something I seem to get distracted. I find this odd because I am not the type to have ADD or problems like that. I am expecting things to clear up again within the next one to two months, as I begin to rearrange my life somewhat. Until I can really spend a lot of time on single pieces, I’m going to just concentrate on making little sketches.

Another project that I’ve had going on lately is my organizational project. I have spent a lot of time organizing my flickr page and I still have more to do with that, but I have also started to organize my actual stuff. Yesterday I spent three hours organizing through boxes of stuff I have stored. I found a lot to get rid of and also a lot of books and such to donate. Looking through my old stuff has generated some ideas, which I will post later on this week.
