Stumbled across this guy, Tony Maxymillian in Portland OR: he does pencil sketching, but not like most people do. It's almost photo-realistic, with amazing textures of fur and qualities of light. What a talent! Check out his site here.

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...
NBPC - The Daydreamer
Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color
You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

The distillation of this insight: we need to create inviolable space to do art in not because our art is "good" and therefore "worthy" of such space, but simply because we are engaging in art. By creating sacrosanct space, we are honoring the process, not the product. The quality of the product is irrelevant. Your art/stories/music/whatever can suck until the day you die. What matters is that you are creating, and are making space for the process of creating. THAT is what is worthy about your endeavor, and why you need and deserve sacrosanct space to create in.

This is a big brain dump in convo with my artist friend
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
juice100, in which she poses the trenchant issue, and I spew many things in response, all of which I practice from time to time - and now am aiming to do all at once. Since I've already hogged her LJ pages on the topic I will leave my ruminations there and just link to it - also in the hopes that more of you will discover the thoughtful commentary in her pages. Please feel free to comment there, rather than here.

I just withdrew from the Project That Ate My Life, and essentially fired a client, and am now eying the prospect of doing Other (creative! fun! at-home! ) Work for cash flow purposes instead of bleeding myself to death over old-style (for me) freelance work.
Epiphanies at last.
Thank Your For Your Support. No, really. And especially to
alphaviolet who said the magic words that enlightened my subconscious and meta-Self all at once. (see post before last for context if you don't know what I'm on about.)
Huzzah.
