This is feeling pretty close. I'll take a look again tomorrow.
Month 8, Day 8
Primed this.
Month 8, Day 7
Moving along.
Month 8, Day 6
Working out this comp and feeling like I'm in limbo not with this necessarily just in general. Sometimes you just have to hang in there I suppose. I found this blue pencil in the street so I thought I would sketch with it first like I see people do. For some reason drawing in blue is very relaxing.
Month 8, Day 5
New panel ready to be primed.
Month 8, Day 4
A bit of this.
Month 8, Day 3
Second pass on this.
Month 8, Day 2
Sketching.
Month 8, Day 1
New starts always beg the question of where to start. As it turns out I have a small canvas that I just primed in almost the same relative proportions and the size of my 12 month pieces. Maybe I'll do a legit study this t me around.
Month 7 complete.
I've been looking at this all day asking myself if it's done. The answer is I don't know. It is done for now though.
Pocket Got Picked

ink, acrylic and spray enamel on wood
Month 7, Day 31
I'm working on this and I'm totally taking my time something I have not had the luxury to do for sometime it seems. Also since today is my birthday I'm giving me the day off. On a side note I feel as if I'm on the verge of something significant like I'm shifting gears or something.
Month 7, Day 30
A bit of work on this today, a lot on it tomorrow.
Month 7, Day 28
I made some more moves on this early this morning before I had to head out to finish up my current mural project. I'm glad there are 31 days in October. I expect a marathon studio day is in my future. More than on previous long term projects I find my self contemplating the idea of when a piece of art is finished.
Month 7, Day 28
Most of the line work is done.
Month 7, Day 27
Pigeon wearing hat day.
Month 7 Day 26
Moving along. As far as I can tell patience is essential to doing good work. For some reason I'm always concerned with how long something will take to do something it's a real distraction for me. Something I really need to work on.
Month 7, Day 25
Trash day.
Month 7, Day 24
Chipping away at this.
Month 7, Day 23
I find it strangely comforting that I still, after all these years as an artist, find myself in the position of having no idea what I'm doing and having to fight and struggle my way through things as well as having to acknowledge and stare head on my failures. It means I'm still learning, that there is still room to grow, that I can do better than I am doing now. The possibility of that reality excites me. I want to know what that looks like.
Month 7, Day 22
A little progress made. Sometimes you spend today getting ready for tomorrow.
