Inspiration

My god for a second there I thought I’d actually forgotten what it was like to be truely inspired. I draw a lot of inspiration from graphic novels and graphic design in general. The thing is though it’s been a while since I’ve been truely inspired to do some kick ass work in the past week and a bit. I will admit that a lot of it has to do with my current slump I’m in (which is why the updates haven’t been fast and furious as they usually are around these parts).

So I’ve been reading and trying to gain inspiration. It’s not soo much that I don’t have the ideas, or the projects to sick my teeth into, it’s just that right now I’m lacking that drive that motivates me to go for it with absolutely everything I’ve got.

Yesterday I sat down and read Mark Millar and J.G Jones' Wanted. Now usually I’ll buy a book based on the writer. Seldom do I go for the artist alone. This was not the case say 6 years ago when the artist was everything. The thing is though, that while the writer makes me think, COOL, that was great. It’s the artist that will make my jaw drop, and my imagination race for a while, and there’s this silence in my head, as everything begins to become clear and I know what I was missing all this time.

It’s the spark that’s been missing, and thanks to Jeff Johnson and a pin up he did for Wanted I’m inspired and I can start doing things again. I’ll be updating everyone about the portal we spoke about a while back, as there have been some interesting development in that area. Just need to get my thoughts in place before we get that going.
