LoveBot


I have a quotation by Deena Metzger painted on my studio wall: “There is time only to work slowly. There is no time not to love.” It helps me keep my focus when I’m freaking out about a deadline or something. Whenever I get frantic & try to rush things, I end up making mistakes that set me back even more. And when my children were small & constantly interrupting, seeing that quotation helped me remember what was really important.

My patience was tested today (with gradient mesh, what a surprise!) & I’m still not happy with the results, but I’m trying to remember that this project is all about exploring a new program, & the only way to make progress is to keep learning from my mistakes!

  2. He does look love-sick. If I met him on the street, I might find his smile a bit disconcerting and keep my distance. ;p

  3. *Love*ly to visit all all these little fellows! And what a quote--perfect for visual artists. ; )

  4. That's a great Lovebot. I don't know if your 'work slowly' theory would hold water in the animation business of weekly deadlines, but I totally agree with it for my own art.
