Sarcasm in a Can
This journal has sarcasm, notes, scribblings, cans, and rantings. All packed in a small 5 x 5 journal bound between two smashed cans. The front is a tin can previously containing fruit, and the back unknown. Read at own risk.
The Turmoil of Depression and Artists Block
Yeh, I really don't feel so hot today. And it's not just because I've been sick lately... I dunno why but I feel kinda depressed today. I just finished drawing Ruw-Chan today, with a background and everything. But the problem is, whenever I look at it, I feel kinda embarassed and ashamed that it's so bad. Ruw-chan is such a good artist, that I'm embarassed to give him something so utterly awful. Even Ruw-chan's doodles are so much better than me.

Not just that, but when I tried to draw something, it looks it an effing piece of crap. It isn't just today, this starts to happen to me a lot lately. I'm trying out new techniques to my art, in desperate hope that something will turn out right. I want to hold an auction with Amy but I'm worried that no one will bid (more embarassing for me). I think that I'm not so bad, but I really am. Sometimes I feel like I have no ego but when I build an ego, I feel like I'm bragging, or I have too big of an ego. I want to tell someone how I feel at the moment to make my misery go away, but I fear they will just laugh at me. I'm hoping it's just one of those phases of depression I feel, and it'll all go away soon. I just feel really bad right now. Bad enough to write about it online. I try to hide it, but the depression builds up. Ugh.

Artists block and depression. </3

If it makes you feel better, I feel like I wanna cut my head off cause I have headaches, sore throat, and stuffy nose from being sick xp
Remember, it's just art your giving. It's the thought that counts ^^ Like you said before, all art has something good about it. The only hard part is looking for it =3 Besideds, I get all stressed out all the time. Whenever I tell you my problems, you laugh, what's the difference? Everyone needs to be laughed at to feel better.

(I thought I would be in your's and Amy's auction >=()

You are an amazing artist and it takes practice sometimes before something turns out good. Just let it come to you.

And I know what you mean with the depression. I'm here to listen if you ever want to talk 3nodding heart
