On the Drawing Board: Shot in the Dark
/ Michael Breyette
I hadn't been working on this piece very long before I knew it was likely to end up looking very different from what I initially imagined. Often a piece will evolve and change as I work on it, but with four characters 'playing out a scene' and a setting that's rather dark but has numerous sources of various colored lights in play I don't know where it will end up. I also haven't yet decided if the the 'losers' should be completely naked or not.

I've never really had a terrible bout of artist's block. Though from time to time I do have dry spells. I've learned that it's not due to a lack of ideas, but rather it's a lack of a strong desire to make it come alive. So when I do have a dry spell I try not to fret. It often helps to go out and see new things, have new experiences, and thus was the case with my 'strip pool' idea. :-)
