even though the holidays are nearly gone, i still have much to do before the new year hits... with a couple swaps in need of completing, as well, as stocking up my store with new items, there is quite the to-do list... and somehow, everything seems to be coming along slower than i thought.... while diego refuses to sleep, and the baby wiggles in my tummy, i stay up until nearly 3am working... at least, i am trying to....
there are days when i get caught up on cleaning and organizing my studio... perhaps its a form of procrastination, yet, it's the only way i can really work.... i dislike having scraps of paper or dust on the floor... i really dislike having diego's forgotten toys or comics left in my studio, while he is somewhere else playing with a different toy... he has his own room, i am entitled to mine, right?! i need my workspace to be clean and uncluttered in order to work efficiently... so sometimes that is where the time goes- cleaning, organizing, and going through my papers to find out which ones will work best for upcoming projects.... picking out colors and papers beforehand, makes illustrating move along faster too... like these two....
here is how they look full size... both are 8x10" and already taken... ah, i barely have time to make illustrations for the shop, but no complaints because most people are ordering custom designs.... with all my new papers that my hubby purchased for me, i have too many ideas floating in my head... at least i never run short of that... or paper... just the time and energy part.... but to be expected, i suppose...
anyhow, this weekend i will finish the swaps and relax a tad more... by next week, i will begin adding new stock to the store and working on a few more illustrations on order....
have a wonderful weekend!
