Description
I was cleaning out a closet last weekend and found three drawings I'd thought I'd lost. This is one of them. It was drawn in 2003, as evidenced by the computer with the big CRT. I didn't clean this up much, just a few of the stray pencil lines, and I left the shadow where I'd taped the caption on. This represents me as I usually am, on the verge of getting something done, but trying to ignore the little voices urging me to do something, anything else.If you see me washing my car, it's usually because I should be drawing or writing.

I know what you mean, I should be studying, for an up coming test for work. Instead, I am admiring your Art (SMILE). It's worth it.

That's it! This picture sums it up! I was pretty discouraged when I realized those voices won't go away, but in the "I should be drawing or writing" I try to consciously change it to "I want to be drawing or writing". It helps.
I absolutely love your comics!

My demons tend to get the better of me...sometimes I just can't focus enough to sit down and draw for a while; I lose my muse and all inspiration goes out the window. I suspect one of these little suckers plucked it from my head and flew out with it.

This. God, this a million times over. Not to mention the ones who say things like, "Why are you even trying?" "You started too late and you'll never catch up now."" Stop pretending that you'll ever be a pro."
... Uh... I mean... Look at those mean little demons!

Oh muther, I can relate...
My demons are slightly more confused but there are just as many of them.
Also what Tsuxiau' said. Your line weight is BOSS..
Its perfect line weight for comic strip cartooning.
Reminds me of calvin and hobs.

Oh damn... this illustration, I need to print it out and tape it to my forehead, so I am always actively aware of what I am fighting against.
I look forward to reaching that point of discipline where when I say "hop" the inner demons hop. XD
