If you found this post before 8am this morning you would have read something much different, but I decided it was just a bunch of "sad bastard music" so I nixed it. Let's just say I've been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of talent out there in the face of my own weaknesses and struggles to get to a place artistically that I'm more satisfied with.

Dude, these are awesome.
very nice, i'm a big fan of the "strokes all going the same direction look"
but yeah the values are nice, especially the last three for me are the best
relax dude, I know what you feel, I feel it too. U gotta look at your own stuf from last year and think of how fast youre improving. Another thing is that you never see other people's "less-than-successful" stuff but youre looking at your own bad work all the time cause of course youre only fully satisfied with about 10% of your own stuff so most often youre thinking of your own mistakes and so its not really an objective comparison. I like the drawings but I'm not a fan of the "going in the same direction" look. But I like the drawings : )
Looks nice and casual; not labored over. Well done, bud.
I can completely relate Grant. I find that art is a double edged sword for me. I can't live without it but at the same time I find it one of the most stressfull things I've ever done. I know where I want to be but just never seem to be there. Rest assured though that most of us out there wish we could drwaw like you!!!
I know what you feel like but let me just say you've got some awesome work here. Keep on trucking!
Great stuff Grant! Keep pressing on.
Wow these are beautiful!
These are great . I know what you mean about looking out on the field of talent and wondering where everything is going . Here's the thing - most artists think the same way about their own talent and work .
Grant, these are very fine. Found you through a Google blog-search using the term "life drawing," since I'm about to dip my rusty hand back into that activity and it helps me orient by looking at others' work.
Don't fret -- yes, the world is chock-full of brilliant talent, goodness knows I'm intimidated and over-awed by what I see -- but you are the only one who can tell your particular "story."
Skill comes with time and practice (or so I hope). But heart and desire are something else.
You seem like you've got both.
These are very nice Grant, very nice. How is life back there in SF? Hope you are off to a great new year!
