Art block is like writer’s block. It’s weird though. I can still draw…but it’s not good, it’s not what I feel like I SHOULD be doing, and it makes it feel like it’s a waste of time. I have certain weekly scheduled art projects (like my #OnePanelVSS, where I take two prompt words and create an image a writer can use for practice and write a little short story about) and those are…okay, I guess. But the bigger things I want to be doing just aren’t clicking.
I’m still editing my book Ghastly Crook Richies book (a rhyming picture book with billionaires getting their just desserts in horribly satisfying way. Subscribe to my Patreon (at ANY level) and see 2 new pages every first Wednesday of each month), but I want to try my hand at another. I have another children’s book that a friend wrote and I illustrated years ago that I want to re-work. When I first did it, I had NO idea what I was doing and I think I can do much better now and I want to do that for him. He wrote a really cute story and he deserves it.
So what’s the answer? I don’t know. I’ll keep pushing and working and see what happens. If you have any ideas…let me know below!
