Hey there!

I'm posting this before going to my morning job, because I feel like I've been going a mile a minute lately, and posting in my journal actually makes me feel calm and collected.

I'd really like to start by taking a minute to apologize for my general lack of activity here, lately. I have many watchers that have so far gone un-thanked, many comments that have barely been read all the way through, and many replies that have been sitting in my inbox for weeks now. I feel like my commissioners have had to wait too long to see the results of being on my list (with one person recently added who hasn't even received a sketch yet), and the absence of fairly regular art updates from me have been scarce.

The truth is, I just haven't had time to do anything art-related, at all. In fact, I haven't had time to play video games or just relax, either, so it's not just my art that has suffered. I have two jobs and an apartment now, and when I'm not working, chances are I'm either running errands or cleaning. For the past four days, I have barely had a second to breathe, having worked at Blockbuster for all four of the days, and having had all sorts of unexciting things to do before then (be it my other job or just stuff). In fact, Sunday morning is a total blur. I don't remember anything about it!

So yeah, I'm sorry, guys. I'll try to make more time for art, and more importantly, commissions.

I guess I should ask for some advice, though. I've been looking for new sources of inspiration as far as subject matter is concerned. Do you guys have any recommendations of anything (can be a game, a movie, an art movement, whatever)? Keep in mind I'll continue to do things in my style, I just want something new to be interested in, and not having time to find that myself, I knew that my loyal DA friends simply must have something in mind. XD

Thanks for being awesome and understanding!

~Andrew

PS: Yes, I'll get to most of your old comments, for those who haven't gotten replies. ;D
