Work hours

Being self employed can be exhausting at times.
At the moment I’m suffering from insomnia - getting a maximum of 4 to 5 hours sleep a night.
Occasionally I will receive a voicemail from a frustrated client saying they have been trying to contact me for days but to no avail. This has happened twice in the past. And it’s simply because I have a phone I use for work calls, which I keep switched on from 10am untill 6pm Monday to Friday. Any conversations or meetings outside those hours need to be arranged through email. Otherwise I’ll be eating dinner, playing games, in the cinema, all sorts of things.
Happy New Decade Hombres!

So getting back to work after such a nice christmas break has been tough.
Just getting my brain back into gear again.
The balance has been really hard to get right - spending some of my time sorting out fairly small problems and panics for people, and the rest of my time trying to be creative and come up with inspiring art ideas. It’s been difficult to switch my brain from the structure of code, to the freedom of art, and back again.
But I’m getting there.
Watch this space.

Books!

I recently spent a fair amount of money on a load of art books. Books about chiaroscuro shading, and how to create light and volume in artwork. Books on anatomy drawing, on digital painting techniques and approaches.
And I just selected a load more that I think I will probably get in the new year if I have any more success.
I really love books. They are one of the greatest things us humans have ever created.
I highly recommend everyone goes out there and buys more books
Also everyone should check out these two people :

and

as their work is amazing

Ok, so I finally realised that I was getting no comments since I messed with comment approval settings - for some reason I’ve not been getting email notification of comments, so I think I’ve now sorted it…. we shall see.
Anyway, comments have been approved. My apologies for the long delay
