So.....about dead week.....
12:03 PM Well dead week is almost over and once it's done I promise I'll dedicate alot more time to my poor little blog here. In the meantime check out this article written by a comic artist I'm positively NUTS about.
The article talks about anxiety and our brains. Personally I struggle with anxiety all the time. And it's incredibly stupid stuff that I get all anxious over too which makes it even more annoying. But I know that it always makes me feel better when I know that I'm not the only one going through these issues.
Best I can tell, anxiety is one of the marks of a creative mind. The creative mind is constantly going with all sorts of new possibilities and thougbhts, which can lead to LOTS of anxiety.
When I'm anxious what seems to help is when I attack my art and just go feelings first. I've made stamps, paintings, drawings, whatever. After I finish I always feel emotionally exhausted, but alot better.
Do you guys deal with anxiety? If so, how do you combat it?
