Its like a home studio, for both making art and making music (which is actually the most impressive form of art, in my eyes... uhm, ears)

The Art of Procrastination
Whats the deal with this Procrastination thing?
Perhaps you absolutely love to make art, but the threshold you need to get over, to actually start doing it, seems sky high.
Your laundry gets folded oh so neatly, all windows are cleaned, your art tools are stored and archived in alphabetical order, your books now color-coded on the shelves... but still, you didnt put one single pen or brush stroke on your paper. Why? A friend of mine told me about her new resolution. She decided on it, after a very relaxing holiday. She said: "you know what? I am always cleaning my house in the weekends, but I want to enjoy my weekends and be free to do whatever I feel like, just like the feeling you have on vacation every day." She came to realize that a clean house is important, but downtime is so much more important. Just sitting down and read, taking an afternoon nap, or going for a ride on her motorcycle. Thats what its about. Its okay to let the laundry basket overflow every once in a while. Or to leave the dishes in the sink when its one of those beatiful sunny fall days. Its not gonna kill you. As long as you, instead, do what you love. |

Procrastinate on your chores. Make Procrastination work with you, not against you. Stop self-sabotaging your limited art time!
And in fact, its likely that the mess you are making, could even be a great excuse to sketch!

What do you procrastinate on, and how? How could you turn it around?

I want you to tell all your friends about me
1989 Movie Batman, Joker
Read more »
Man, was this really 20 years ago?!
As a kid, when the Keaton Batman movie came out, it was amazing to me. The costume, the Joker, the Batmobile, I had never seen anything like it. I was a huge fan, and the movie really solidified my bat-fandom. I loved going to the mall and seeing all the exotic new merchandise sitting on the shelves.
I havent seen anything like the amazing hype around that movie - that is until I went to the opening of The Dark Knight this past summer. The Batman shirts were out in full force once again!
With the appearance of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, some would say that the older Keaton movies dont stand up so well, but this movie represents a fun time in my life and still holds a special place for me.
