Astray

"Astray"

Here's another little something different.  This isn't relatively new, but it is quite divergent from my usual shtick.  I started doing this style a couple months ago.  It was a time when I was so incredibly lost with my direction, I decided to betray the fluffy and try my hand at abstract.  I actually found it quite therapeutic, not to have any rules.

I have a couple pieces like this, but all of them are still black and white.  I really want to color them, but a part of me fights to keep it black and white, also.  Months later, I'm still undecided.

Brrrrring!

Trying some more pen sketching.
(Look how long that 3D stuff lasted me, ha!  It may be back... someday.)  I'm not crazy about how I went about this one though.  I maaaay not try this approach again.  In any case, just adding it to the pile.

I have to confess something.  I've been stuck in a rut.  A HUGE rut.  Since approximately September. I mean, I've had artist block before.  But I'm battling the freaking Great Wall of China here.  I'm not quite sure how to dig myself out of this, and I've been spending many weeks trying to figure out how to escape this miserable hole of artistic impediment.  Hitting myself over the head with my digging shovel may result in more success.  I'll bookmark that thought and save it for later.

Anyway, here's something new I'm trying out.  It's been awhile since I've done pen and ink sketching, so I'm bringing that back into the mix and flirting that with my illustrative style.  Playing with the three-dimensional element is especially new to me, though.  I'm internally laughing at myself, questioning how long it will be before I get sick of cutting out small pieces of paper.
