Burrowing

An interesting thing happened tonight. I had a brief flash of a body of work! This happens to me every time something good is about to happen related to my work, so I am really excited. The past few weeks have been interesting. I cut the tip of my index finger pretty badly (cut the nail off down the middle with a  pocket knife) and couldn’t draw comfortably for a few weeks. It has sucked. I did manage to keep playing the drums, thankfully.  I have been able to draw for about a week now, but I haven’t felt motivated. Everything’s cool now, so I am ready to start making more work!

I started with the concept of a burrowing roly poly alien and halfway through, I started losing interest in it until I started experimenting with patterns for the background/forcefield/whatever. Then, it got exciting again and I could remember what I saw in my head earlier. Basically, I am not sure what’s happening, but I am just going with what my gut is telling me. I think it’s leading me somewhere. 

I hope you like it.

UPDATE 5/9/12: I hate this now, but it’s ok! Life goes on. Check out progress shots of what I am working on at http://facebook.com/scaredofsalad. It’s way better.
