If you've been working in art-stuff as long as I have, mistakes, goof-ups and huge setbacks are open invites to creative opportunities. I'm hoping that this is one of those. Recently, my computer was taken in for much needed repairs, which coincided with a up and coming day-job change. I couldn't afford much. Well as it turned everything on the my poor PC had worn out. Power supply, hard disc, video driver had all been replaced. The motherboard is on its last legs and could give-out at any moment. After reinstalling ally my graphic software, most struggle to work. Photoshop and 3d are pretty much out for creative freedom. The only thing left working well is Adobe Illustrator. I was hoping to develop Matt painting skills, and that is just not looking good right now. So I am now experimenting in vector. The challenge now is getting inspired and relearning new and old skills.  Nothing is being submitted right now, just playing and trying things. Could that creative explosion be waiting around the corner? Or am I just biding my time. Just have to wait and see.

I wish you a creative explosion! Good tools are needed too, though. I hope you'll get them back eventually. I'm pretty frustrated with my computer too. It's 7 years old and gradually running out of steam.
