Getting Greedy For the Next Project (AKA How Never to Achieve Anything)

Bryce and I have a project that has been shuffled around various burners from front to back for the past 3 years now. Such that I keep thinking Wow! has it really been 3 years. At anyrate like Terri Vegetable lady's parents I'm determined to keep the project alive, and seem to be succeeding.

Similarly FOWP was concieved as a project of significant scale that I could achieve it all on my lonesome and thus drive my own pace.

That's when you learn one of the least reliable people in your life is you. In many ways this is my defiant FU to the fallback fallacy.

But I started the pencil phase in like September after realising that I couldn't just get bogged down in a normal career but simultaneously needed to spend my freetime on the projects that will hopefully shape my life.

But creativity shapes creativity. It gives birth to new ambitions with each achievement. To make something is to make something poorly and become addicted to the pursuit of perfection.

Perfection of course can never be reached, but it can be reached for. And I think this can be a healthy or unhealthy thing. Expanding the mind I am in favor of, it's pretty efficient thinking on the miles per gallon spectrum.

At anyrate though, I know FOWP is full of holes, ambidextrous characters, ever changing proportions (almost as bad as the Godzilla remake) sudden hand changes of objects, all glaringly obvious to me but hopefully impressive to my friends.

But all in all it has me excited like I can't remember. I can remember Miki explaining to me after our second date that she was in fact really tired because she was too excited to sleep the night before our date, which was nice but not a mutual problem. You see I at the time had hardcore shit I could attempt to read and put me to sleep. Not like pornography but like the book I am currently attempting to read (and have been fro almost 3 years) which is GEB an Eternal Golden Braid.

Anyway, In life surely there is no greater feeling than going to sleep excited to get up and go to work tomorrow.

Well I have this feeling in spades. Infact as crappy as my product is, it's almost too exciting for me such that I get really excited and have trouble sitting still the very quality that makes for good illustrators.

But I'm still getting like 5 hours per day productivity out of myself a full 2 hours more than full time work!

Anyway I'm getting all sidetracked. Obviously this euphoria must continue, and so I cast my minds eye forward to a potential future. Not counting on FOWP being a run away success I will embark on another hand drawn pamphlet but more in the vain of my blog.

Yes I will make a movie out of my blog. No I will not make a movie out of my blog.

These are my two hints -

1. I want to make something in the pornographic genre.

2. It will like my blog be undertaken in the principles of the Johari window making wider the window of things known to myself and what others know about me.

And that's it, that's going to be the next project. Try and guess what it is. Or better yet don't.

I share this with you because I'm finally confident I will finish FOWP. It's amazing to me. (not FOWP but that I'd actually finish something without it being part of my schooling assessment or money motivated).
