    I've always done art. Way before I even considered music. In fact, I approach songwriting just like I would a piece of art. I very rarely plan them before I start and have no idea what the finished result will turn out like. I also do D.I.Y. like this. Every project is an adventure and takes twice as long as it should.

 

    I did, in my early twenties sell my art, did commissioned work blardy, blah. But it soon made art a chore and I stopped trying to sell. I'm definitely no business man. Maybe in the future i may change my mind, but for now I'm happy just doing it for myself and sometimes friend's and family.

    Life today can be a drag. Paying the bill's. There's always some drama or two. Don't get me wrong, I'm very lucky to have an awesome wife and have more than I ever dreamed I would have, but sometimes you just can't feel grateful. In these moment's all I need to do is grab a pencil, a piece of paper and an eraser. I don't even need imagination, and I loose myself in drawing something right in front of me.

   

     The key to this is doing it for yourself. not to impress anyone else. That's hard to do in this age of self promotion and look at me mentality, make it only for you.

Try doing this for a year, and don't show your drawing's to anyone. 

No matter how much you want too, just keep them for yourself, no pressure to perform, to be good, just doing it for you. Firstly you'll be surprised at how much you improve, but more importantly you'll discover how truly immersive and meditative it can be. Remember to enjoy it. Do art you want to do. Let your imagination run riot.

Art can be hard and frustrating but ultimately it has to be fun or what's the point.
