A good friend and coworker of mine owns a small, seedy bar downtown as a side business. Its incredibly tiny, and when they have live music on weekends I can only imagine its even tinier. My boyfriend and I checked out the place last week, as Jon had made me an offer I couldn't refuse - hang my photos in the bar. Its a great idea, I would be more than happy to not only have an avenue to display my work, but to have something to work toward. My creativity often becomes stagnant when I'm counting on myself to come up with ideas. But having experienced college, i.e. procrastination, I work best under pressure.
I brainstormed for about 24 hours after Jon made the offer - he told me on Friday and I promised him I'd have something by Monday. I decided to do pictures of Batgirl in the jungle. I had great visions that I don't even remember (should've sketched them, I always regret not doing that), and it didn't come out quite as I'd planned, but I managed to get a few semi-successful end products.The problem now, though, is I am doubting all of my creativity. I mean, do people really want to see a photo of a girl in a batgirl mask? What DO people want to see in a bar? Creative stagnation has set in again, and I have yet to give Jon anything. I'm so disappointed in myself.
