I recently purchased a new pad and pencil set, in the vain hope of starting drawing again. You see I spent nearly 6 years in higher education pursuing art and similar themes. And realising that I wanted to start up again ( and seeing how my collection of art supplies was thrown out in a general spring tidy by parties unnamed) I purchased a drawing pad and pricey box of pencils last pay day. Since then I have tried on numerous occasions to start something but my mind goes completly blank as soon as I look at the paper. I have a idea of what I want to draw but no way of physically doing it. I ahve listened to so much music to try and inspire me, I ahve been for some nice walks, watched many films and programs. Its evading me. Despite the added level of misery prevailent in my lfie at recent times it still seems unimspiring.
Of course this is all just whining at the end of the day but there is a serious lack of inspiration around now. Especially in my life. But you notice it in other people as well. At least I have.
This weekend I tried on many occasions to try and start some kind of drawing or piece of "art", but was sidelined by booze on the way. So much that I still struggle to remember what I actually did, no bodies have turned up yet so its all good. But I only realised today that I spent far more on getting mangled than I thought I did or could actually afford. Which means I am up slack alley for the next few weeks. The pile of CD's has been dwindled down and new favourites have been found in Crawl Back In, Dead Raven Choir and Comadre.
The only real ray of hope recentlty has been the release of one of my bands debut EP's.
The link is over on the left anyway but The Ergon Carousel pre-orders went up today so am pretty chuffed with that.
But as my Dad has said on umerous occasions over the years I have known him...roll on death.
Or whatever comes next.
Sorry for the lack of sunshine in this post.....so lets finish with something that always cheers me up.......
The Polyphonic Spree.....
Go on Poly.
