Today Was An Away Game

The title of tonight’s abstract illustration is “Alone Around Other People”.

Today I did something I have not done in a long time. I was in Barnes and Noble looking around and I had the urge to draw. Don’t get me wrong I draw everyday but it has been a long time since I have had the uncontrollable urge to draw. I felt it deep inside and I had no choice it had to happen. I walked into the Art section and picked out the perfect sketchbook. I then walked into the overpriced stationary section and bought two archival pens. I rushed over to the cafe and bought my supplies and a cafe mocha and spent the next hour drawing like it possessed me. It felt good to be the artist I was before all the art mill partial owner duties began. I sold my soul to the devil for a beautiful studio and I wonder sometimes if I sacrificed my art in the process or at least my life as an artist.
