Back to a normal rythm

So this week is a return to what could be considered my "normal" work schedule. Whatever normal means for me that is. Anyway I am hoping that with going back to normal hours, I'll have a little more energy and a little more free time to get my own things done. Not too long ago I took a long look at my schedule and goals that I want to accomplish and adjusted it for the actual reality of my life as opposed to what I think would be ideal. Now that life swhould be a bit calmer, I hope to put this into effect.

On the upside though, I have been finding a little more time to draw/sketch. I haven't been working on any illustrations like I want to, but I have found the time to do some sketching either in my sketch book from photos or quick gesture drawings from life on index cards. The index cards are a trick I picked up from an SVA professor, and seems to work well.

Also, though the war anthology isn't running as smoothly as I would like, there is some slow consistent progress being had. The amount of personal juggling, organizing and just general people skills that are required is fascinating, but good practice.

In terms of other personal projects, working on the dinner set is coming along well. I finished the cups and most of the goblets. The bowls have been thrown and trimmed and now need to be fired. Next I need to move onto plates. Once this is done then I can actually move onto some sculpture, hopefully over the summer.

Lastly, I just got an email from the NY CAG coordinator. It looks like I will still be inking pages for their anthology ICONIC 2. So I am looking forward to that as well.
