Summer...


Okay so I've been a little less than productive this summer but it's important to take breaks from time to time and after last semester and graduation, I deserve it. My summer was filled with all things "un" art related, such as my wedding on August 14th that my bestest college buddy Ashley attended and played a huge part in, thank you. And moving to Florida immediately after the graduation ceremony in May. I found a job nearby and have been working hard at making a good impression in order to move up. Completely "un" art related. So after a few months of having so much stuff on my mind that had nothing to do with art, it hit me that I want to draw. I have this urge every day to doodle and sketch and although I'm cramped into a small space and unable to really get my paints out, I've wanted to paint, which is a huge step for me and I think it's all my stress wearing away. It's been really nice not to worry about how much I should be producing but instead creating work for the fun of it again. I'm happy and working hard to get to where I want to be and not where I supposedly should be. So thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding as I get the important things in my life in order. With any luck I'll be moving into a house where I'll have the space and drive to create millions of silly drawings that I love. In the meantime, I need a new sketchbook...

  1. Larissa,

    I'm so so very proud of you. I knew you had it in you, you just needed a break. Everyone did, including myself. I've always told you that you are an artist at heart and I'm glad you've re-discovered that. Now get paintin'! And I want scans A.S.A.P. :DDDD
