Burn out

Journal Entry: Mon May 18, 2009, 1:02 PM
First I would like to thank

As most of you know I stepped away from practicing any form of art for the last 8 months. I attribute this to burn out artistically. Starting back as a graphic designer means 8 hours a day of being mindlessly creative. Dipping into the creative well to draw out ideas for flyers, brochures, postcards and ads for which I feel creatively bored doing. And yet it does sap my creative energy so that by the weekend I haven't any desire to fulfill myself by doing meaningful art. It feels like work, Im creatively low energy. Im not sure how to find the balance between being creative at work and still having the energy left over to pursue my own creative interests. For me it is a challenge that I have not found an answer too... so chalk me up as one of the sell-outs for now! I have traded the uncertainties of being an artist for a stable job and paycheck, Im not sure if it was such a great trade.

Looking around in my favourites on DA, I noticed your name...
Maybe it's a step too far, I don't know,( we are just two people knowing each other by little fragments of text...) but I would like to ask how things are with you today ...? Your last journal was very low profile, like you were standing on the edge of a complete "creative burnout", something I know very well from my own experience in the past...

best regards, Roger
