My art right now.

I’m trying so hard.

Imagine you are in a room.

In the room, there is a great black hulking demon. He has your face and approximate body type, except larger and distorted. He’s much stronger than you, and quite possibly the most frightening thing you’ve ever seen. He smells bad. He is messy, every movement he makes leaves a trail of filth. He is loud.

You are to kill this demon. Over and over. You are given a keen weapon, which sometimes changes, but they are all very heavy. They are difficult to use.

The good thing is the demon can’t hurt you. And that’s the best weapon you have against the demon, is the understanding that it can’t hurt you. But you do have a mission. You are to kill it while trying to make the least amount of mess as possible. With a huge messy dripping demon to slay, this is difficult, not to mention impossible.

With time, you get used to the weapon. You learn to control your swings, and can kill the demon with 5 swings. Then 4. Then 2. Then a quick jab, and you are shedding very little of the monster’s blood. The kill is clean. You are victorious, and each time you make a cleaner kill, you get stronger.

This is the closest way I can explain how it feels for me to create art.

The Start

I got to class late today, and left early. I do this a lot. It is going to start to affect my grade soon, so I’m worried. My professor says I’m doing well though.

I got a letter from a friend today. I like writing letters. It helps me keep it together knowing that someone is eagerly anticipating a little secret written dialog in the mail from me.

Well, I have a lot of homework tonight. Hopefully, I will have it done by midnight. But John started up his blog, and I promised that I’d do the same, so there will be a post tonight (probably two).

This is my design blog. Enjoy.
