I love all the papers creating the bridge. Do you think the "volume of work" needs to all be the type of work? Could it be a broad creative bridge that is being built to a less specific creative place?
If there are three things I'm good at it's doing too many things, being disappointed, and quitting.
My inventory of abandoned projects is longer than War and Peace. And collage is one of them. The catch is I keep coming back to it. It's how I know it means something.
Lately I've been on the verge of quitting again. Nothing I build is big enough to bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to be.
I don't have have an inspirational note to end on. I wish I did. I just keep trying...
This is so interesting to me! I used to work in the comic industry but more so on cards. It got extremely complicated. Some who I trusted, etc. and worked with for years seemed to turn on me. That was rather heartbreaking but I realised that it shouldn't have been because they were simply artists doing their jobs. Plus, if I didn't actually grow up with them and I didn't know them in person, I shouldn't have taken it personally. The thing is local non-comic artists who I did also talk to about it made me feel small and as if I couldn't do anything. Sadly I DID grow up with many of them and had known them for years. They were not comic artists though and probably assumed that I couldn't handle certain issues. Which was rather idiotic seeing as how I had been in charge of a team, etc. for a couple years. Either way, I gave up on it but I don't know that I should have. Locals may not have believed in me, etc. but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't. I've changed the meaning behind it from comics to Abstract art, etc. and changed the sizes as well. In my point of view now, people will either help me to help others or they won't. I know NOT to take it so personally. That is just one project though. I have multiple projects, ideas that seem to always be there. I have many projects that are not finished. I'm also mainly working for myself at the moment and many great ideas are never fully created by one person alone. I know exactly how you feel. I have to put certain projects aside for awhile at times. I can't always follow a schedule perfectly in all cases. As long as I get back to those projects that are unfinished, I think it's ok. As long as you get back to the projects that you may have in mind, I think it'll be ok. Try not to push yourself. Anyway, great post. :)

What a fantastic question! Love the idea of a broad creative bridge. More thoughts in tomorrow's newsletter.
