I knocked out a work. And that’s just it – a work, just to get me back in the swing of things.

The more I look at other artists, the ones that I admire, the more I realize that they work both smaller, more quickly and with more dedication than I do. I spend so much time struggling with the process that it becomes tiresome and I just say “fuck it – I’m done just because I don’t know when I’d ever be able to really finish this”.

I need to stop doing that. Stop worrying about time and start worrying about the art.
