Answers to questions given in
's
journal. I recommend to every artist to go to his journal and answer these questions, or just answer them for yourself, but think very carefully on them. It's a very good way of getting to know youur own style, muse and creative process better
Do your ideas seem 'external'? Are you most often inspired by what you see?Sometimes I am. Mostly I'm inspired by something I hear of/read about, like in history class, but quite often I just think of something while listening to a song, or quite randomly inspiration strikes, and when that happens, I have no idea what was the catalyst, because I concentrate on the idea.
Do you tend to think of concepts in your mind first,and then incorporate them into a work?Mostly yes, but usually the work turns out quite different from the original concept, while other times it looks just or almost as I intended it to. However I always try to think things through before I start, so I don't have to restart a drawing twenty times over.
It doesn't happen very often that I just draw without thinking, but I find that these absolutely random drawings are often the best I have.
Are you inspired by what you feel,your emotional state?Hm, I don't think so. At least not in the right sense of the word. When I feel depressed, I can't draw properly, even though I'd really like to get the bad feelings out of my system somehow.
Do you find it difficult,or very easy,to absorb ideas from others?I think it's easy for me. I like to draw when someone sets a theme for me. It's a great way to develop the active imagination.
When you get an idea,can you let it 'simmer',or do you feel you must drop everything an work on it NOW?I'm quite often afraid I'll forget a good idea before I put it down on paper, but I am capable of waiing for the opportune moment, or when my hand feels surer, because sometimes it happens I have an excellent idea, but can't seem to draw properly, so I wait.
Are your ideas stand-alone concepts with nothing to do with your other work?I have ideas of both kinds. More frequent are the ones that have some sort of continuation, but I also have individual ideas taht are not followed by anything, and I like them just as they are.
Do your ideas tend to 'branch out', with one central concept powering several related works?Yes, they do
Do you tend to explore a concept serially,with several works,one after the other,in a certain order?Lately, yes.
Do you actively seek ideas?If so do you do this only as long as it's enjoyable,or do you drive yourself on until you have found something?I don't seek out ideas, when I think about it. But when I get an idea, I don't push it. I have several ideas for fiction, fan and original, whiich I write or work on very slowly, because I know that if I push it, it will become absolute rubbish, no matter how good the idea was, initially.
Do you sit back and let ideas come to you?I haven't noticed to ever have done this. Ideas usually really just come to me without much pursuing.
Do you perceive ideas as they form,or do they tend to go unnoticed until they are 'complete'?More often, I percieve those ideas when they form, but I do have several pieces that just sort of happened, or that ended up completely different from what was intended, and they changed or fully formed in the process of drawing, painting or writing.

Sentimental
. It's about a gay teenager's life through his sixteenth year, and lit's not some sort of cliche where the poor boy is all confused and stuff. He's exactly like every other teengae guy, except that what gets him hot and bothered aren't girls, but guys
