Where Do I Start???

well.... I could tell you all that I have been on some extravagant tour of the eastern hemisphere or that I went on a hiatus of sorts, but that would be lying.

It just so happens that life got in the way of anything involving art. I have had the longest streak of proverbial "artist's block" (since I graduated college in March) that even thinking about picking up a pencil or delving into the digital realm of Maya once again has felt like work. Frankly, I truly haven't made any time to devote to art and the happenings in my life have pushed me to neglect the very thing I am passionate about. I lost my website due to bad job situations, my backup hard drive crashed, and work/ looking for better work have had me so stressed out lately that I can't begin to imagine what would happen if I picked up a pencil again.
who knows... maybe I should just to see what twisted results I get.

Don't get me wrong, I have drawn here and there since graduation, but everything I've started I've not completed. A promised piece for my girlfriend hangs on my wall staring angrily back at me begging me to finish it, not to mention my girlfriend begging me to finish it as well....potential art pieces lay strewn about just waiting to be picked up where I left off...it saddens me.....I need to get back to where I used to draw / use my creativity for fun. I haven't done that in ages. I miss it dearly. I just haven't found/made the time.
Perhaps I'm uninspired, maybe its not really artist's block and its an extremely long continuation of that college "senior-itis" that everyone experiences pre and post graduation , or maybe its sheer laziness whatever the case may be, i need to get back to the way things were when art was fun......Any suggestions???

Hay man!

Earlier I thought you said "Rainchildart", which is why I couldn't find your gallery. Then I got distracted. Brainchild is way less fruity than Rainchild.
