Happy Freakin' New Year

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Finally 2007 is over! I don’t know about the rest of you out there but 2007 sucked donkey dick then swallowed, in my opinion.

But alas a new year is upon us. I know I should just take it day by day and think each day is a chance to start over. But there is just something about the whole New Year thing. Of course it is also possible probable that the New Year resolution shit has brainwashed me but nonetheless it has worked.

I didn’t “ring in the new year” by getting drunk. I also didn’t watch New Year’s parties on television where sub par bands prove how much they suck live while the sheep constantly cheer them on in a drunken frenzy. I didn’t watch vapid, insipid celebrities attempt to count backwards from ten. I also didn’t spend it with friends. Not that I didn’t want to per say, but I had something I wanted to do more.

I wanted to do something for me, and that something was to draw. I know, I know you guys probably thought I would be the mastermind behind a jewel heist, using the New Year as a diversion. Or you probably thought that Brazilian models would be arriving at my estate in exotic cars while I had the mother of all parties. But it wasn’t like that at all.

So why would I choose this over everything else? Simple, because I wanted and needed to draw. I am not happy with my current state of affairs. I want to do more and I am tired of trying to extinguish this fire. Self-doubt, fear and laziness aren’t going to hold me back anymore. I am not saying I will be a professional illustrator anytime soon but for the first time I am going to try.

So my New Year’s resolution is simple. I am going to push and apply myself like never before in regards to my artwork.
