RE: Entering the Matrix // Gallery of 10 New Digital Artworks
Wheee! You‘re kidding, I just saw that you made some fine freaky art at dada ;-) If for any reason Phill holds you back from doing what you love, you should definitely give him a break. Weekly pages are certainly cool, but bi-weekly pages are just as good.
I actually enjoy making Phill, it is all the other stuff, the routines that are supposed to make it possible, that takes away some of my precious time and mental capacity. All the swimming in the morning etc.
I suppose it is just whining and I guess I compares it to the same time last year when I was ill and miserable. At that time there was only work, it was the only thing that kept me together, so even though the doctor said I had to tone it down and relax, I couldn't take her advice. It was the only place where I could stay sane. So I worked disproportionately much, while my poor wife took care of all the things I normally do.
Now I am back to normal, I have the strength to do things I couldn't back then, but at the same time my ambitions and ideas grow too fast. I am back to my old annoying self :)
I think I can easily understand what you are describing. I myself am often torn between my artistic ambitions and the challenges of everyday life. Especially at the moment I have much less time to be creative, because my wife is about to enter a new decade. We're planning a big party next week and I won't have much time for anything else until then.
On the other hand, family is king and I wouldn't want to live without, even if my artist's self sometimes longs for more freedom and independence.
It is about a balance in life. I think like you; family comes first no matter what. Then the rest is just planning to make things possible. Sounds easy, right? :)
