Okay, so I've been nonproductive lately for a few reasons. One.. I recently went on a trip back to Utah to visit family and friends. Yeah I know I said I'd never go back, well I was there for a week, and let me tell you, I am convinced that Utah was trying to kill me and my sis (the one that went with me, not the one that lives there).
It was too damn cold... never got above like 25 degrees. It was to damn polluted! For those of you who don't know, SLC, UT can be comparable to LA as far as pollution. And the altitude was too damn high. I never knew how bad it was there, until I went 6 months breathing real oxygen here in the beautiful pacific northwest.
The whole time we were there, we couldn't breathe, it was like we were always out of breath. And not just us, Freyja, my dog, was panting a lot more as well. Not to mention she started getting like snowflake size dandruff from it being so dry there.
Don't get me wrong it was great seeing everyone again, (well almost everyone). But I swear it's going to take a f***in miracle to get me to go back. Which is sad cuz my sis is supposed to be getting married in September (the one that lives down there).
So anyway, while I was there I was feeling lousy, and getting sick... but on the trip back, the closer we got home, the better I started to feel. I could breath again. My sis and I kept looking at the outside temperature thingy, and cheering, when it was above freezing. I really went to bed saturday thinking that all would be great the next day.
However the next morning I woke up feeling like crap again, and by monday morning I was in the ER getting fluids and shit. It was nothing too serious, I'm doing much better now, but you can imagine why I think Utah tried to kill me. My sis has been sick since then as well. GRRRR
On top of all that, I'm feeling extremely frustrated with my art right now. Nothing is coming out right. I'm thinking I've entered another art block. One thing that just keeps coming up is faces and expressions in particular. GRRRR I could just rip up my art sometimes. I'm really starting to get to a point where I want to put more life into my art, but the heads are really starting to drive me nuts. Body's I'm not so bad at. In fact in some cases I'm down right happy about them. So who knows, you guys might start to see some headless figures floating about my gallery. Hahaha, that sounds like an idea.
Anyway, Rafica, I sorry that your half of the trade is suffering because of this. You have my permission to discontiue working on my half if you like. I might put up one of the ideas I had for yours, but I can't see myself finishing them. But thanks for your patience.
