One of Those Myths

People on Twitter don't know me for modeling. Actually I tend to keep that part of my life fairly quiet after the initial reception from my family. I go to Twitter to keep up with vikings, comics, friends, artists, and more vikings!

Occasionally I'll come across a tweet (generally followed by mass stupidity) that makes me think.  Rosalarian (a burlesque performer and queer comic artist...author of "Lesbian Pirates from Outerspace) tweeted about the stereotype of the starving, depressed artist creating amazing pieces of artwork.

While some might thrive on that, most artists are too busy paying bills or dealing with their emotional health to create much, or be inspired at all! As with many artists, I didn't create much during that time, and the few things I did create were (in my mind) sub-par.

This year, maybe because of the location changes, and all the life events, I've started to explore as an artist again. While it keeps me busy, if feels good, and I'm never going to stop!
