I think I'll limit myself a bit.
With Illustration Friday, each topic provides numerous sketches and ideas, but I have to narrow it down. My thoughts this morning were, "why don't I cultivate a specific character to use for each week's topic?" I still have the freedom to pursue the other sketches and ideas. And really, I'm not limiting myself, but rather giving a more specific direction... one week is rather short to really throw together a grand composition, all the while managing our home, caring for our son, cooking, cleaning, shopping...
I made a list once, regarding all of my responsibilities and qualifications by working in our home:
Job title: CEO, March Residence, est. 2006Description: Domestic EngineerHome Management SpecialistDirector of Health, Education and WelfareHead of Childcare: MOM (Manager of Miracles)Creative DirectorKitchen Manager - Head Chef, Baker & Meal PlannerFacilities ManagerHousekeeperCounselorSecretary - Maintain Records, Write/Proof/Edit PublicationsWhew. I was tired just looking at it! And we only have 1 little boy... imagine 2, or 3, or... WeLL, I'll just leave it at that!
Anyway, I'll be working on my character and focusing on the creative process that goes with that. I'll have another I.F. submission hopefully by next Thursday!
