Facebook just seemed a quicker way to update everyone on what I was doing and keep track of everyone else. Bryan central faded to the background. So what am I doing?
Of course, I'm still unemployed, what with my career field basically disappearing along with the economy and all. But my big problem is I'm back at that "what do I want to be when I grow up" stage. It's like being 18 again only I have a wife and a son and another son on the way and debt and a house. So getting re-educated and retrained seems a bit of a daunting task.
I've been considering different options but I seem to go back to my original plan when I was actually 18. Getting back into the art, cartooning and animation field. I used to say, when I was young, "if I don't do art for a living, I don't know what I'm going to do." I still don't.
The funny thing is I have found my art skills have seriously eroded over the past couple of years. I've barely drawn anything that wasn't landscape architecture related. I tried to draw Mickey Mouse today. The first attempt was a disaster. Ten attempts later it was starting to click, but anyone who knew me in high school would know I could draw Mickey in my sleep. It's so strange not to just be able to do that.
I've started a new blog that will record this endeavor to get my artistic eye of the tiger back. It's called "bryan's art blog." Not only is it creatively named, but it will follow my progression and hopefully I can look back at it's first post and laugh at where i was and be proud about how far I've come. I don't want to not draw again.
Check it out at bryan's art blog!
