Too often I get caught up trying to blog or make money off commissioned artworks and I forget to create for myself. Visually expressing my life and thoughts through images is therapeutic and vital to my sanity. Therefore, during the next few weeks I want to dedicate my extra time to creating a series of Visual Diary entries, like the sketch below. The purpose for my virtual hiatus is to focus more on expressing myself and less on exhibiting my artwork through the internet. This isn't a permanent "goodbye" ...more of a "see you soon".
