Artist's Block
I am stuck. I have not really been able to create anything much since the last Sigil I did for myself ...https://steemit.com/esoteric/@in2itiveart/sigil-s-soul-mirror-talisman-for-the-healing-after-a-big-fight-part-5 (really part 6)
I have not had Artist's Block since 1989, this bad. I started to get it in 2015, and that's when I decided to listen to Mark Passio's podcasts - I was blocked and I needed new information.
When I tried to use that subject matter, it was too dark to dwell on creatively - I did
https://steemit.com/comics/@in2itiveart/introducing-the-adventures-of-azotha and I did
https://steemit.com/art/@in2itiveart/cathy-o-brien-mk-ultra-and-monarch-programming and a series on Satanic Ritual Abuse - and I could not delve into it creatively because it brought me down. So then I found Sigils and I tried to do them for people - and no one wanted them much - I did them for free and gave them away, but now I have run out of people to do them for.
I thought I had cured it with Intuitive Painting... but I got tired of all of it. Mainly I am tired of not selling my work and not having an audience - not having people who give a shit. It's kind of pathetic actually that I require people to like my work in order for me to do it.
It worked for a long time to post artwork on Steemit - but now, for some reason, no one stops to say much more than "nice!".
Am I that shallow? That I must get other people's approva,l to be creative?
This Sigil, of course, worked, and me and BFF are back and stronger than ever, because I learned what I needed to learn and have put some things in place.
But I am still not on a roll with making art right now. I did a few more paintings after that...
I did The Emporer - Tarot Card and now I know who the Hierophant is, but I have not done the drawing yet.

I had some life-changing events take place in the interim - I had a bad mole show up on my chest and I did this Sigil:

And then I did the Master Cleanse and then I went vegan again, and I am on my 10th day of being vegan - I got through Christmas dinner and am still vegan... whew!
But, I am stuck on what the heck to do - I have been copying some Alchemical Drawings searching for inspiration there...
We'll see.
Yo! Do you have a street presence? Muh dude, Larry, is an artist and has found he has a more prevalent street presence over some superfluous "online" presence. Take this work to the streets, my friend! If it doesn't work, maybe you are in the wrong location? Where are you?
Thank you so much for your inspiring words...Oh yea been there done that for sure... i have been doing it live in Denver for 12 years in various ways and locations-
I am definitely in the wrong location for art - but I cannot leave here for other reasons...
I have lived in New York City and Woodstock, NY that would be an ideal location for this work...
But now I live in Denver, CO and I would seemingly have to educate my market to the work- out of my league...unless I get an inspiration and help on how to do that...
Probably will pursue teaching Intuitive Painting.... with again - help - that will be drawn to me auricly....until then I will discipline myself to draw daily again...
