The Hiatus is over, the cold is gone. Enough sleeping has occurred for an explanation.
First things first.
Q: Where is the Foster Project?
A: Good question. When I was drawing for the Foster Project my intent was to draw for the sake of drawing. Whether these drawings be ideas, thoughts, soul echos, or just an act to spur on creativity within my own brain. What the drawings actually became over time was not drawing for its own sake, but drawing for an audience. I am aware I was always drawing for an audience by posting them here and flickr, but there was a transition along the way to accommodate the audience, and draw something that I thought would spur on comments or recognition…it wasn’t intentional, and it took some chatting with a few wonderful people to realize this. I was editing/censoring my own drawings and that wasn’t what I wanted to be doing. It became a chore to do rather than something that was good for the soul, and for these reasons I took a hiatus.
Q: So what is going to happen to the Foster Project?
A: The Foster Project is something I want to keep around, as for right now I would like to continue the 30 days of drawing from where I stopped. This will begin as soon as I get a new moleskine sketchbook, which should be tomorrow. I make no promises as to starting tomorrow however, and with these next 15 drawings I will try and be consistent with days, but if I haven’t done a drawing for a day, I won’t be staying up an additional 2 hours to draw and post it for that day. That would be silly, and I am against all silliness*
Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your digital love and actual love.
This semester has been stretching me in new ways I would have never realized and more and more I am thankful for the people that have been placed in my life and I cannot attest more to the greatness of Gods provision.
