Post #29 funny how that goes

It's funny how things go.
Turns out my "side" project turned into my main project.  I am uploading a new image from this drawing series for you to view.

These drawings are done on mylar  - mylar is a semi transparent drawing paper - and I am using the layers in the mylar to my advantage to help the content feel distant, and dreamy, and nightmarish, and real, but not real.  It's been a great way to combine all my thoughts into this moveable interchangeable flexible medium.

When approaching the idea of the "side" project I was able to be very free, very non-attached, I didn't fret about it, and most importantly, I just let it BE what it needed to be.  And, it took awhile for it to tell me what to do or where to go with this - but it being a side project and all, I didn't really worry about it.

I was thinking maybe I should think of everything, EVERYTHING, as a side project.  Art, life, you name it.  Just let it be, let it develop, don't worry too much, don't fret.

So what's your side project?
