drawing | cover {the great leap forward}

a sure crackle in the air last week suggests winter time stands confident, waiting to make a great leap forward. i realize how lucky we are seeking and finding relatively easy cover from the imminent cold, in these dire times of global human migration. i realize i am spoiled having to worry only about pulling my sweater a little tighter, having a roof over my head. i'm keeping hope for safe deliverance for all. 

in trains and automobiles, i have either my sketch book or my novel at hand to occupy my frenzied mind. drawing in the train has become a bit of a pickle since a relevant commuting train speed update, making it virtually impossible to draw anything steady. thus i retreat to my book mostly. marie antoinette is to die shortly, boo-hoo. 

the studio / dress room lies quietly; dresses, skirts, sweaters and t's everywhere. i need to call myself back to order, so that this much missed place doesn't squander completely. the more chaos, the less prolific i am. i'm so glad we called an inktober through cartoon classes. i'm sharpening that pencil at an ant's pace. still. ants are workers. 

currently i'm looking into writing my business plan. the good news about writing a business plan is that it is useful to write it over a given period of time, e.g. a few weeks. in doing so, i'm giving myself space to think things through, to consider what i want to do and how i want to go about doing it. in preparation, i find myself mainly in the thinking phase as yet.  

central stage are my houses {sounds terrific, non: my houses?}. i want to draw houses and sell my drawings on a commission basis, turning each item into an unique and personal piece. i need to further develop new and hone my existing drawing skills, and i'm currently doing exactly that, as a side kick to cartoon classes. Later, houses will become my main focal point. 

i want my weathered blog to stand witness to these intentions. having long thought about blogging, its effects and its meaning in my present busy life, i discover i want my blog to work for me. not in pennies, but as a control room to my artistic plans, asserting my progress and showcasing my endeavours. in that, our drawing challenges have helped trumendously to shake myself loose from rust.

my blog will hopefully help me to finetune the advance i'm making, from one weekend blogpost to the next. it sounds like a good start to the week anyway. ultimately {gulp}, i want to live of {gulp} {gulp} what i create. after all these years of staying quietly creative and procrastinating the financial rewards into a vague and undefined future, i now state i want to move up. 

i want the next level, which will be connected to the previous one. at long last i'm curious about what's beyond the hill. i don't know how exactly, but i'm gearing up and i feel ready. no cover ups, no more. apart from this one above here... we're coming close to a finished state to this one foot stool. and it does have a lid for cover... ☻ 

i suppose that about covers it for me, this time around. uncover possibilities, having fun and creating a personal great leap forward. let's. and come see ariane~rose's DC this weekend.
