MY MISTRESS....

COTTO VS CANELO IS THIS WEEKEND.  HOWEVER, I AM ANTICIPATING THE WEEKEND FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.  I SIMPLY CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE SOME FREE TIME TO PUSH SOME PENCIL ACROSS SOME PAPER.  I GET TO HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO DRAW, DURING THE WEEK, BUT, THE SCHEDULE IS SO CRAMPED THAT BY THE TIME I GET INTO A GOOD FLOW, I HAVE TO STOP....OR, I SIMPLY AIN'T FEELIN IT AT THE MOMENT.  WHERE I WORK, IT REQUIRES THAT I AM CONSTANTLY MOVING, SO IT DOESN'T ALLOT FOR MUCH TIME TO BE CREATIVE.  I GET TO DO THINGS IN SPURTS, LIKE 15 - 30 MINUTES, AND IT HELPS DETERMINE WHERE I'M GOING ON A PARTICULAR PIECE, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, IT'S ANNOYING TO HAVE TO STOP.  I LITERALLY WALK AROUND IN A DAZE ALL DAY, BECAUSE I AM THINKING OF THE PROJECT I'M WORKING ON.  PEOPLE TALK ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS, SPORTS (WELL I TALK ABOUT SPORTS, BUT, ONLY BOXING AND MMA AND NOT THAT OFTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE CUZ THEIR PREDICTIONS DON'T MAKE SENSE), OR WHATEVER, I'M DAYDREAMING ABOUT ARTWORK.   I'M THINKING ABOUT WHICH WAY TO MAKE A CERTAIN LINE TURN, HOW TO INK IN A PARTICULAR DRAWING, OR WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP AFTER I SCAN IN THE WORK.  I LONG FOR THE DAY, WHEN I DON'T HAVE TO WORK A MIND-NUMBING JOB ANYMORE, AND CAN JUST CREATE ALL DAY, EVERYDAY.  I WANT THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING, BUT, UNTIL THE MERCHANDISE STARTS MOVING FASTER AND MORE CONSISTENTLY, I'M STUCK PLUGGING AWAY AT THE NINE TO FIVE LIFE.  ONE DAY.      -  925
