A blah artist babbles.

[Dark Artist]

Ever have one of those days where you just feel blah and aimless?

I am having one...or several. I have felt this way for a few days now and that is rather odd for me. In spite of the "dark" in my name, i really am a rather consitently cheerful person.

I know I will get over it, but at the moment I am wondering why i even do this comic. I don't get money. I seldom even get comments. It is a damn lot of work.

I guess I must like doing it though. I keep trying to improve things. First it was more indeoth panels with more info. Now I am moving into doing it all in color. I keep thinking I want to cut down to 2 panels a week....but i can't get myself to make that cut. I am proud of keeping this thing going 3 times a week.

I want to get to the romance part of the story. I want to get done with this darn flash back. I am worried that i am going to bosh up the story and loose all my readers. I should quit now while it is still going well and liked. Clearly I am not in the most stable of minds tonight.


The road to success is lined with very tempting parking spaces. I am feeling a bit of road panic and want to park.

Well, I wanted to draw something SURE to inspire and cheer you up. At first, I wanted to do Lexi, but the damn boy wouldn't so much as take his shirt off. I have no idea where David, Kell and Zack went off to, but I couldn't find them either. And....that's about when Tan tapped me on the shoulder and posed for /this/ little goodie. Always a muse when you need one. http://www.celmansion.com/images/artwork/TanNekkid.jpg

I can't draw people very well, but here's my cheer up and no-givey-up pic!

Everything worth doing is difficult. Don't give up.
And be happy! The world, despite what the TV tells me, is a beautiful amazing place full of love and kitties and smiley faces!
And every bit of effort you put into creating art makes the world all that much better!

Yes! Over-optimism!

Oh, you wouldn't want to hear me on my blah days!.... Snap off yer head before ya get a word out... gosh...I just remembered...I think I still owe that girl an apology... oh, well.

Hope tomorrow finds you in a better mood!
ta!


(Edit: BTW, I love the comic in color! Love it! And I can't wait for the romance storyline...I'm trying to get to one of those in my strip, too...it's taking way too long to get there! Arg!)

You guys are so sweet!

Thank you all for the pictures and the kind words. They really helped.

I think it was just "one of those" days for me. Just venting here on the forum and seeing sweetness from you people was enough to make things seem much brighter.

I know why i do this comic.
I do it because i like it and you folks enjoy it. What better reason is there then that.
