Most of the time I don’t take myself seriously when I try to visually relate my thoughts... Drawing hasn’t come as easy to me as writing and somehow I am more impatient for results with drawing then I am with writing. That has been a problem for any sketchbook I have thought about starting in the past. You do that thing, you know, when you are alone somewhere thinking and you declare to your headspace that you will go out and do that thing you keep putting off and it’s going to be awesome! This time I actually picked up the sketchbook here and forced my hand to transcribe the picture in my head onto paper. I didn’t waste any time thinking about it and I made the conscious decision to not worry about time(I always worry about the damn time.) until the sketches were done.
I’m proud of what I did there.
The page pulls that self-portrait idea and grounds into a reality that I could create: a pair of Aircrew wings and an Xbox 360 controller sitting on top of a school book. Beside the book sits a #2 old-school pencil. It follows a simple rule of thirds and I could arrange the wings and pencil to symmetrically flank the controller on top the book. It was – for all intents and purposes – a solid proof. It feels so damn good when you set your mind onto something and accomplish it.
