Right now in my life, I'm at the lowest I ever be on creating stuff (graphic design, illustration, etc). I don't know why, it just happen.. i dont have that urge to create stuff as I used to have before. Maybe its just temporary, maybe it comes with getting older...
Weeks are passing by really fast. I have martial arts classes 2 days a week, and from Friday night to Sunday, my time is dedicated with my gf. So i have 2 days in a week where I really have a lil' time to create stuff. But instead i surf the web, play video games and chill.
I can't imagine what it would be with childrens!
What about you?
- life is often consumed by the detritus of everyday.Gnash
- you improve at whatever you spend your time on in life...since1979
- I'm in a similar spot at the moment. I think it's the kind of projects and mostly how they are being managed that is killing creativity and motivation.monospaced
- Think it probably comes with age. When you are younger you are more passionate and out to prove a point.microkorg
- These days i'd much rather be making music or watching netflix than designing in my spare time. I'm still very much design inspired though..microkorg
- I think design is a way of life that stays with you even if not doing commercial projectssince1979
- Similar to myself - but with a kid with my ex wife so multiply that time gauge by 10!
I have a project I always do and always work on regardless how I feel.mugwart - Even after a day of not getting shit done out of non-motivation for my paying job, I have no issue doing a great design/drawing in the evening for a small partymonospaced
- I feel you Benn, i am right there on the same path at the moment. Care to do a stupid art exchange just to force us to create something this week?capn_ron
- We should start somthing within the QBN community that would "force" us to get creativeBennn
- I was thinking of starting up photo assignments. I'll post something soon.ORAZAL
- we talked about an new photo exchange, but if you are interested in something quick, i'll do a drawing and trade with you.capn_ron
- would be cool capn_ron, but not this week, i dont have timeBennn
- Haha... Wait to have children!OBBTKN
- ron, I think I still have your film from that exchange .... :/monospaced
- mono, is it the double exposure exchange? the one that I shot first?capn_ron
- What are you? Solo?pango
- yeah, capn... I think I just need to expose it, honestly ... can't remember but I have it around here somewhere stillmonospaced
- I like you Benn and I like your honesty which is refreshing on here. You have to have side projects to stay sane if work projects are not making you happy andfadein11
- let's face it you are lucky if they do. But if you are like me and go a bit crazy when not getting creative kicks find something you love doing - music, photogfadein11
- or anything as long as it gives you that serotonin hit we all understand as creatives. hope that made sense.fadein11
- totally fadein11, thanks :)Bennn
- p.s. having children focusses the creativity if anything, partly because you spend so much time at home. Well it did for me anyway.fadein11
