I'm not sure what caused my stress to build up over the past few months, but Christmas was my breaking point. I feel bad cancelling the commissions that I had accepted earlier, but I just couldn't bring myself to draw other peoples ideas.
So, for now I'm just focusing on what I CAN do and what I WANT to do. One thing I really enjoy is being lazy, so I'm taking more time relaxing and doing relaxing things. Another way I'm taking care of myself is the weekly cardio class I've been going to with my sister for the past few months. I'm going to add another evening in the week dedicated to working out more and getting healthier. It's helped so far, so a little more will help a little more.
The aim is to get under 200 lbs (and stay there for a good long while) and become emotionally stable again (as much as any artist could be). I'm getting there on both counts, but persistence is key. Sit ups, jumping jacks, TV and robot unicorn attack are all helping me along
I have this feeling that the year is going to get stressful and this is the calm before the storm. So, I'm going to make the most of this down time as I can to prepare for what may be ahead.

looking up...
The past year or two have been stressful for me and I've gone through plenty of changes in my life. That has killed much my inspiration, motivation and creativity. However, I think that things are starting to bloom again for me.
I've been practicing all forms of positive thought, exercising methods of letting go of negative thoughts and trying to not dwell on the past, and embracing the present and being thankful in it. Combining those with having gone through a long harsh winter, I think my muse is finally starting to come out of hibernation. Little by little, I'm sketching again. Painting pennies and working on other creative projects
Hey, it's 2014!
Year of the Horse coming up - hopefully a more artistic/inspiring year than 2013 was for me.
And hopefully it's an awesome year for you all as well!
Happy 2013!
Best wishes to you all with inspirations, motivations, and plenty of time for both in 2013!
February starts the year of the Snake - a very artsy year indeed.
I'm looking forward to seeing (and hearing about) the creative endeavors of you all!
Hoping the Water Dragon starts to freeze
This year was the Chinese year of the Water Dragon - any dragon year is always a year of change. And I don't know anyone who hasn't gone through quite a handful of dynamic changes this year. Graduations, new babies, deaths, job changes, moving, natural disasters, getting married.... the list goes on.
I just hope that the colder months will cause the water dragon to slow down. I have a feeling though that the November rain and Christmas snow will just keep the changes flowing around us all.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are signals to me that I should stay in, eat pie and hibernate now that it's going to be cold and dark most of the time.

I built an exer-cycle into my desk. Then never used it. But it is there! I just don't play many video games so it became superfluous... But it was something I could use to keep up activity levels while reading or playing video games.
Hope you can post more! I like when you post. It sucks to have to give up projects... But also easy to take on too much. I figure that's why most of the artists I follow now do batches or scheduled slots instead of continually taking on commissions.
PS - I love your commissions, tho.
