Post-Artum Stuff

[kybearfuzz]

I've not been a drawing kind of mood of late. Former LJ'er "prisoncitybear" coined the lack of desire to do artistic things after getting a project done as "post-artum depression." It's funny in a way. I'm not depressed, but just a lack of desire. I did do some designs for Christmas cards and I will have to work on a retirement cartoon in the next couple of works.

On the flip side of it, I've been trying to work out on a schedule again. Holidays are rough on the waistline. And I ate quite a bit during the holiday, especially when I'm helping with the cooking. My running speed is terrible, but I'm working on it.

I usually print one hard copy of my comic book for the "file," so I can put next to the original artwork. I was three issues behind, but I had Issues #21 and #22 printed today at Kinko's. It's nice to see them in print. Now I just need to assemble them into the sleeves.

The week is about mid-way done. I'm looking forward to the weekend already.

Art and Life

The Jungians have an interesting theory about post-artum depression. They say that fro some artists, an art project represents an alignment of the inner soul with the opportunities available in the outer world. So the art project opens a door or a channel for deep energies and deep satisfactions.

No wonder there is a sense of exhaustion when the door closes again as the project is completed!

It's an interesting idea. It's a lot of work for the output, but it's worthwhile to me. :)
