Just call me Billy
Poke-a-long, because that best describes my attitude and my work these days. A little walk first thing in the
morning, a little breakfast, a little time checking email and the news, a
little time with my journal, a little time running errands (grocery shop –
library – post office – etc.), a little lunch, and then it’s into the studio
where the day really begins.
A little time with my
feet up, reading the latest mystery from the library, a little postprandial
nap, a little music, a little drawing, a little time working on the computer, a
little painting, a little more reading, and interspersed in all of this…a little
pacing.
Occasionally I will
gnash my teeth, frustrated over a complete loss of ambition, lean back in my
chair with my feet up, contemplate the purpose of my continued existence, and
promptly fall asleep. Ten to fifteen
minutes later I awake with renewed purpose and resume working on whatever.
A mostly comfortable
sameness has come to define my days, and I enjoy it, except when I don’t. Occasionally I feel the need to get out
of my space, either alone or in the company of others, but for the most part I
am quite content with my life. The
important thing is for me to be engaged in my work, mentally and physically,
even if it is only for an hour, more or less, a day. I am always amazed at how much I can accomplish in this
limited and inconsistent pace of mine.
Recently I have been
posting a series of drawings from my ER journal on my facebook page (in an
album called ER Drawings…duh!)
Most of these drawings are still available, matted and wrapped for
$125.00, The entire series
is also available in an IBook…ER Sketchbook for $40.00 (6x8: - soft cover –
spiral bound – 56 pages and 64 drawings)
