An updated view of my current workspace.
Still chaotic but slightly less than it was just over a month ago. (Moving the movie box sets seemed like a no-brainer 🙄)
The rest of my studio is still a disaster. I’m hoping to work on it after winter cards go in the mail.
I finally solved one little issue that’s been bugging me for years. I use a planner throughout the day but never have a good place for it to live when not in use. I’ve laid it all over my table and my printer/scanner, but then I have to constantly shuffle it around when I need to work on a drawing or scan something. I finally made a space for the planner and a few notebooks to sit vertically between makeshift bookends. These resources are now easier to access and I’m less stressed because they no longer feel like clutter. One of those “Why the heck didn’t I think of that years ago? facepalm” moments.
I have a basic sketch done for the Winter cards. It’s really cute and I can’t stop glancing over at it. Will start adding ink tomorrow. I am dealing with overwhelm in a big way right now, but I’m so close to something vaguely resembling caught up, so I’m going to keep slowly trudging forward and do what I can. It was a relief to even just let myself sit and type some of this out. It’s not my strong suit but I’m trying to be better about going with the flow.
Speaking of, I wanted to go watch *Flow* at the film center this past weekend, but I panicked about everything I need to get done and decided to stay home and work. I’m trying to make a bigger dent in things this week, so that I can hopefully feel better about going this weekend. There is a 5002% chance that this movie makes me cry a lot based on the way I teared up during the trailer 😿
Can you believe 2024 is almost over?
It feels hard to believe but also… BYYYYEEEE!
