So when I hit a creative block, I'll sit down and just let my mind wander and whatever I see is what I draw. More often than not, it comes back to something personal. This time it's my heart, and the idea of how my art to me is both mental and physical by extension. I've thought a lot about how my mental and physical health intertwine, and how I can boost both while not sacrificing one or the other. Most times these doldrum sketches are just a loosen up thing...but in this case it was a fully formed idea. And now that I've come to what I think is is conclusion, I feel refreshed and have already started thinking about some new work. 2023 is shaping up to be a good year... #ruffmadeart #ruffcreator #creativeblock #doldrumssuck #sketching #illustration #lineart #igart #igartwork #artistlife #artistslife #rma2023 (at Palm Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGP4LCJ0Qc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So what you up to tonight? Made some fresh veggies worth Italian sausage. Working on some pieces for my upcoming project. Listening to Culture Club and watching The Last Of Us...✌🏻️ #fattyhasfun #fattygottaeat #fattycooks #workinprogress #ruffcreator #ruffmadeart (at Chateau Ruff N Baker City Deux) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnf57Katbam/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I'm trying to draw daily outside of pieces in working on...nothing specific, just straw to keep my mind loose. Today I started playing with the idea of towns building on top of what came before. The stacking of time and materials...just pushing the old down while bringing the new up to the top. How do you keep climbing upward? How do you keep finding the new in the canyons of the old? When do you build over what you built before? Maybe I'm thinking too much and I need to just let things flow. Line, line, line, line...keep adding lines. Let it flow. At least that's what I keep telling myself. #workinprogress #wip #ruffcreator #ruffmadeart #sketch #industrialstyle #cityscape #penandink (at RuffMade Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2BVNqLnlJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
