Yes, I do become exhausted of ideas sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I have said everything already and the art isn’t saying as much as I want it to say. Since I’ve been in Saudi, I haven’t painted much of anything. That will change soon, hopefully.
Yes. You get to set the scene in your mind and pre suppose the punch line and then it’s delivered. Perfect way for he viewer to read a single frame cartoon from my perspective.
I could not see comment block for what are you reading on your post. Just finished The Last Centurion(post apocalypse stuff) by John Ringo and started Full Black by Brad Thor. Like Jack Whyte series post Roman Britain – Camulod
