ArtyStart Monday: Powered By MOJO

Posted by Lisa Hetrick on Jun 9, 2013 in ArtyStart MondayMakin' Art   

 

 

So, I was on the road all weekend...and I had this amazing idea for a SEA inspired illustration that I was itchy twitchy to create. Before, we left, I was diligent. I packed up my sketchbook and my peerless...

Inspiration struck and I was ready to draw... and

BLURF...

NO Waterbrush. NO paintbrush. Wha? I grabbed the wrong zipper bag of supplies. WHA?

BLURF... motivation gone. 

The next day on the beach I saw this guy with THIS shirt. I chased him down to snap a shot (no fear  ). He was really cool about it. What a cool SHIRT. And, If MOJO is like a MUSE... I want to meet HER. 

 

On the way home, I flipped through my sketchbook, a little burned by the fact I forgot the supplies I needed to execute my idea. Then, I pinged off on IDEAS in general. I came across this and immediately thought of these words.

And... Its was OK! I moved on. This painting was going somewhere when I left it. So, I got a chance to revisit it and just think. Instead of DO... Just think.

Then, I fell asleep. HA! In the car. Sitting straight up. I guess I'm a better DO'er.HA!

That's how MOJO works, eh?

Happy Monday. Hope it's filled with MOJO!
