Illustration Friday: Focused
Focused … what a topic for a Friday … the word inspired me to draw an eyeball and a pyramid … similar in thought but not design to the pyramid on the back of U.S. money.
Right now, I do not have any money to watch .. thus perhaps why mine is in two pieces separate from each other … sooner or later … I will once again have a bit of money … but until then … I do without as much as possible and I ask for as little as possible from my daughter – she cannot afford to spare any anyway!
I had plenty of art supplies on hand when this recession occurred … it has forced me to use up what I had in the house since I cannot go buy more … for example, BEFORE I sold the house … I used all my 18″ x 24″ watercolor paper to create paintings … the good ones are in plastic ready to be shown and sold at a show and stored in my portfolio case for easy transport.
I used up the last of the first 100 greeting cards I had bought some times ago at Christmas time and now I am slowly getting started creating the next 100 cards … I still have watercolor paper pads too so there is no urgency or frantic … oh my gawd what am I gonna do without paper panic attacks … thankfully.
My watercolor pencils … I have plenty and they have already lasted me many months and will yet many more months! I have plenty so there is no drama or intense fear there either.
I have lots of ATC blank cards to use to create my business cards – I have a storage case too that keeps them organized so I know where they are and they do not go in there until I put the label on the back … I still have more labels that I can have my son-in-law print for me when I run out.
Right now … I am focused on … surviving … my life … the recession .. my roller coaster health issues … and continuing living …not just merely surviving. As poverty stricken as I am right now .. I am blessed beyond belief in good things … my family … my art … my pets.
Have a great day and follow your focus!
