About a year ago (at what I imagine is the same time everyone else discovered him) I ran across a comic with a Bill Watterson quote done in Watterson’s style. I started at the beginning of Gavin Aung Than’s Zen Pencils and started reading. Eventually, I came across a comic for a quote by Neil Gaiman titled Make Good Art. Yesterday’s post was inspired by the first five panels:

Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do.

Make good art.

I took everything I was feeling and channeled it into something besides feeling bad for myself. Now that I’ve done that, I feel so much better for it. Everything that I’ve kept bottled up has been impeding me likely more so than the original problems I talked about then.

This is the reason that I started posting to this blog again. I’ve went out removed a lot of out of date or sub-par quality posts. I’ve updated my resume and professional presence.

I’m going to go back to trying to be the person I want to be instead of settling for the person it’s easy to be. I’m going to make good art.
