a day in my life as of the past and coming two weeks:

i hate it when i have all the motivation in the world to work, but my hand just can’t continue. i sometimes worry that i could be developing carpal tunnel, but i think it’s just a good old fashioned cramp from holding a tablet pen with a death grip all day. curse the hard, burdensome life of a digital painter! agh!!
