I should have written this entry long before, but now I guess I have more things to tell than some weeks before.
First of all, I hope I'll be uploading more works than in last months (and year(s?)), I started a master's degree that I found to hate from the very beginning, and that made me loose the will to draw and do all king of things related to art basically. I'm still studying, or at least attending to its "lessons", but I've realized that I miss a lot drawing and creating and imagining and I want to start again. I've noticed that it takes me more time to develop and finish my works than before, serves me right.
I've entered a contest named "Arteshop Bilbao", in which I have one month (May) to prepare an art project for a shop located in Bilbao. Luck has been on my side, as I've been assigned the shop Derby Gardeazabal. Here they sell tailor-made suits and shirts, as well as suits, shirts, belts and other products from the best brands. I've already designed the idea, I just have to specify some details and hope that the shop owner likes it and gives me the approval so I work on it. I can't give any more details yet, but I'm sure that more than one will like it. I've made an instagram account for this where I'll also be uploading photos and details about the process, I'll leave the link HERE (amaiablesa)
Surfing the internet in research of Illustration contests, I saw one about illustrating some old storybooks for a website that has them hosted on it. After having a look at them, I chose R.L Stevenson's Treasure Island. I didn't read this book before, but I couldn't choose any other as I'm deeply in love with the movie Muppets Teasure Island (Brian Henson, 1996). I'm still reading the book, but I'll start with this project once I finish with the first one.
I think that's all for now. Apart form the master's degree I'm also studying French and German, and even if it is in a beginner level it doesn't leave me much free time, but I really want to start again with my pencils and paint.
I see that most of you have kept hard working, that gives me courage to keep up. Don't stop doing what you love !! I envy your will-power
