SPX ROUNDUP
Had a lot of fun! Met a TON of new or previously internetfriend-only people! Saw old friends again! Saw… some guy and his questionable life choices in a DRIVE jacket! What the fuck! Got conscripted into filling in at the Super Art Fight show after the Ignatz Awards…
Sorry about that… Got condescended to by a 60-year old man in a cheerleader uniform! Ate pancakes with human suffering-flavored syrup!
Thank you so much to Sam and Lee for taking me along and my roommates Brandon, Krishna, and Jeremy for putting up with me being an awkward, neurotic dipshit most of the weekend.
This was a good experience though, professionally and personally. The last two SPXes I attended, I came out of depressed at just how soul-crushingly far behind I felt in comparison to everyone else and that I’d never get anywhere, but now this year I’m eager to keep pushing and draw stuff again. Finally.
On the personal end, I think I may be coming to terms with the idea that people kind of might sort of maybe like me and enjoy having me around? I know I come across as cranky and nebulously misanthropic, but I really do like being around other people. I have a terrible habit of trying to keep people at arm’s length but that’s because I always feel like I annoy or creep the absolute hell out of everyone I come into contact with and they’re just barely managing to tolerate having me around.
So maybe that’s starting to change a little? Maybe?
I dunno. Sorry for rambling. I kinda need sleep.
A sketch dump blog thing. I draw stuff. I post it.
