Archive for the ‘ sketchbook ’ Category
I could say I’ve been busy which is partly true after getting a second job but, for the most part I have been lazy. And, looking at the time I could be spending on doing more creative things, I end up chosing something unproductive and unrewarding. Then I go into a cycle of regret and loathing that I question myself if I even have the passion to create anymore or if I was just looking for that steady job to pay my filthy habits. There are many books that have been read partially or have been unread, many drawings and sketchings that haven’t been finished, and many ideas that haven’t seen the light of day on paper. Perhaps all creative people go through this cycle of aspiration and laziness.
These sketches were done in loving memory of Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop. The gathering of people I see on TV, the Internet and in every other area of life…speaks so strongly to the fragility and love we all share as humans. Micheal stood for much more than music and dancing to so many people….unity, peace, happiness and equality…(the music and dancing did help thou :). Even with all the difficult periods in life he faced, people still stood by him. The joy and memories he brought to so many people across the globe will surely be missed but also remembered. I still remember getting my copy of Thriller, which was my first fill lenght album. I listened to it over and over and over… Thanks for the memories MJ, and peace to the Jackson family.
