Fruitloops in Farnham

With so much time on my hands, not being in school, not having any friends around and only having a part-time job, one would think I'd have managed to get a great deal of creative stuff done. ah ha, not so! Actually, you know what's weird? I find myself avoiding doing even things I enjoy if I decide to do them. it's like- I have to surprise myself into doing things. if I say to myself 'I am going to do some drawing in a minute' the minute suddenly becomes an hour, taken up with lots and lots of very unimportant, but time consuming, things- like making cups of tea, walking to and from town or having long showers. Which is absolutely ridiculous because I really like drawing. like just now while I was waiting for something to download I did a little doodle and quite liked it.
Here it is, I call it Portuguese Dog of War


And then, when I do sit down and say 'just.. for fuck sake! just do something that isn't nothing! DO IT FUCKING DO IT NOW'* I come up with other stuff. Actually, I've been writing a kind of script recently. It's quite fun to do too- I'm taking lines from different audio books and mashing them into one story. It's a little daunting because I'm pretty much making it up as I go along and when a direction formulates it often gets turned around or stopped because I just don't have the dialog that would fit... or I do but it means listening though about 72 hours worth of books.
Here is a possible character, I call him Holden---->



And this is a fat naked man in a hat.
That's all from me I think. Might do some script stuff or maybe some more characters. Though I do need a shower...


*yep, walk past my bedroom some time and see me with my head in my lap, pulling my hair, screaming this into my thigh.
