INVICIBLE DOGS

Alright. Lately I´ve been focusing on drawing with graphite and ink. I used to but it was a couple of years ago since I last did it and it kinda feels like I´ve re-discovered the technique. Overall I feel like I´ve been drawing myself into a corner, beeing more afraid of failing and of trying out new stuff. Grasping and holding on to security is not good for your art since it stops you from learning new stuff. Tho I kinda seeing a pattern in the way I work. I always tend to focusing on something really hard and can´t let go till I´ve explored it enough. I usually doing that to the point where I don´t see any reason of continue doing it and that´s when I starting seeing something new.
I feel like I´ve reached that point at the moment.

In many ways it´s different tho since I feel that I need something new, something that is outside of what I´m doing at the moment. I don´t think it´s so much about my work but my life situation as a whole. I´m so tired of always looking forward, trying to tell the future. By doing that I´m loosing the moment, it´s so obvious but also so very hard to change. My life is starting to feel like a prison. Something needs to be done.



I updated the website a couple of days ago. It´s a minor update and some stuff have been posted before. Anyway...enjoy.
