sometimes i feel pretty bad for not posting a lot of artwork. i used to crank out like 5 pics a day back in 2004, when i was just discovering digital art. over time, this has gradually decreased… am i losing my enthusiasm? sometimes i think so, but then i have to admit that i’m just getting old. it’s become a necessity to draw within conventional work hours and peel myself away from the computer at all other times, just to stay sane and keep up with all the other things that i have to do, that just come with being an adult and not having your mommy do everything for you :[

it also has to do with the fact that drawing is now my job. as much as i loooove doing it, there’s just not as much time to always draw whatever i feel like. right now i’m cranking out a few commissions like never before. i’m lucky that i get to do fun work like this when i feel like it!

i wanted to post a drawing with this, but i keep forgetting my tumblr is linked to my sketchblog and i’d be double posting. picture will be posted here when the rss updates… oh and thanks for following me! ♥
