…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.

Sounds like you are making some sweeping changes. I find that a good sweep now and then keeps life much neater and easier and way more fun! Love this little drawing (and of course, with this one I’m mentally adding colors!)! LOLOL Your work is always so amazing Carolyn!
Carolyn – Do not be so hard on yourself. All your July art work has been so colorful and good.
Thanks both of you. I know I will be more productive again soon enough!
