Journal Entry: Sun Jul 12, 2009, 9:30 AM


When I first started this blog I was on vacation, so finding time for daily updates and daily romps through my various favourite creative playgrounds was easy. But I returned to my job on Monday and thus the slow down in activity both on the blog and everywhere else.

This, of course, is the crux of the dilemma. You want to do all this stuff, but after an eight hour work day what you end up doing is crashing on the couch in front of the TV. Some days I think that’s just the reality of your work day. I wonder at times exactly the sort of world we live in when we are required to consume some variety of stimulant throughout the day –- aka caffeine in the form of coffee or pop –- just to make it to quitting time without falling asleep on our keyboard.

Other days though, maybe you aren’t as tired, but you still feel the call of that comfy couch and some brainless TV consumption. I find this particularly true on weekends. At the beginning of the weekend it seems like there is just buckets of time to do everything that I might want to -– paint, write, animate, work on Keyframe, whatever.

deviantID

An artist / writer / animator / web designer seeking to revive some of her creative roots.

Much of the work currently in the gallery came from my time in animation school, which I completed in 2004. I haven't done much in the intervening years as I've been busy doing the 'day job' thing, however I am now looking for that to change.

Did I ever post Stumpy to Keyframe? I'd totally forgotten that.
I'm still trying to find a clean'ish copy of the short that I can put up on dA. You'd think I'd have kept the master video file around here somewhere, but a lot of things got scrambled in my last move.

It would be somewhat ironic if I had to DVDrip my own demo reel. :D
