:: Digital Diversions

So I'm in another funk and I haven't done a bleach painting since AUGUST! Sad, so sad.

I'm trying to make myself feel like painting by focusing on some of my computer based art, like you see above.

I'm finding that the digital diversion is really helping me. First, the color is so fun for me. The bleaches do get a little redundant when that is all you see. And using the Wacom tablet to 'paint' at least keeps my hand doing the same motion and gives the brain an outlet for what little creativity is in there right now.

I've also used many of my photographs as the basis for these half paintings, half manipulations and that makes me feel like I'm beginning to tie all of my creative outlets together. Now if I can just get the bleach back into the mix we'll be golden, literally. Get it? That's the color the bleach turns the paper . . . nevermind. ;-)

Leave a comment if your blocked too. Artistically that is. Misery loves company! heehee.
