The Recovery Project

For the rest of the year, I’m going to devote this blog to a sketch a day sort of thing.

I have a rare inoperable tumor inside of my spinal cord.  The pressure is causing me to lose mostly leg and some intestinal function.  The radiation to my spine that was used to save my life has a brutally slow healing time, and I’m going to go nuts if I don’t have something to focus on.  I want to be able to sketch, draw or work on something.  I’ll post everything from silly doodles to large drawings, just whatever I’m feeling.  Some days I’m going to be sick and my work will reflect my inability to get much done.

The Goal:  To try and keep my drawing skills sharp and by the end of the year push to have at least 100 drawings done.  I will try publish updates on Saturdays when possible, at least once a week.  I want to take everyone on this journey with me, through the stronger and weaker times.  

This is what I tell myself when things are hard to stay motivated: Move one stone at a time, never giving up and after some time you can move mountains.
