creative juices

Besides the dram that comes with life in a firestation, and the severe allergic reaction to tilapia (that sucked cause the fish tacos were killer...no pun intended) I had a decent day creatively.

I am finding that the more I let go of any preconceived notions about how the creative process should work the more I enjoy the way I am doing things. It also seems that while there is no rhyme or reason to my methods, the fragments that have been written or sketched are slowly coming together to form a cohesive idea.

Being able to draw a superhero or a hot chick definitely helps in the process of comic art, but understanding the medium, finding a way that works for you, and putting it all together to tell a story or share an idea that pulls the audience in is a whole other story, and this is where real practice, discipline, and perseverance will pay off.

So us aspiring comic gods must keep plugging away.

This has been a nugget of wisdom from Gortok.
