Clear Days

Today was just a day of STAC art. I needed today. I enjoy STAC art very much because within the class, I feel like it's just easier to get those creative juices flowing.

My creative ability felt like a well oiled machine today. It was nice to feel like this especially after that day of being down in the dumps about my individual project.

I've also thought about what Luke told me this afternoon. He said that he's not clear on whether or not I should keep the "cartoon" aspect of my work or get rid of it as soon as possible. He said that it's a sort of fall back plan when nothing else is in place. I understand why he would say that because it makes a lot of sense. This kind of style falls into the same category as "cliché." But I think that it doesn't pose any REAL threat to myself as an artist. It's not like I don't know how to draw traditionally. It just means that I might just have to work harder at it, and I'm okay with that. I certainly am capable of producing work without this style which I think is important. I enjoy this simple style that I have because it's just something that is quick and simple for those days when I am just in the mood to create.
