I’m drawing a picture book–and this is the first step. I’ll update this once a week with a picture, an idea, or a review of someone’s work who inspires me.

Blog Posting Will Keep Me Honest

The regular posting will keep me honest, or at least get me to phrase my ideas for public consumption. Or at the very least teach me how to write a story. Place, setting, mood–that’s all great but as soon as you hit the dreaded plot, that’s where it all falls down. And I like narrative painting. Not fair. But the painters I most admire are quite dead, so I need to do something to fix that situation by exposing myself to other ideas and people rather than curling up in a hole.

Current Inspiration

I’m looking at the Art of Manliness and Hyperbole and a Half for inspiration, although those are very different types of blogs with very different audiences. I’m also looking at straight art blogs, or art  journals on the web, as those also interest me. At any rate, this will “become itself over time.”
