I am sooo tired this evening. Down to the marrow of my bones exhausted. I got a lot done today around the house, and I am feeling it in all my joints. I decided to try to channel some of that into a digital photograph. I snapped a picture last week from a package that came of the fragile label, thinking it would be neat to incorporate into a future project. I have several ideas bouncing around my head. I decided to play around with some of them using photos already on my phone.

Although I kept catching myself nodding off while working on these tonight, I was able to get two pieces I was happy with- the self portrait and the Detroit sign. You might recognize the images I overlaid on the Detroit sign as ones I took at the Henry Ford Museum this weekend. I like the texture and industrial feel they give to the picture. I’m glad I pushed through my fatigue and got these images finished.

How do you motivate yourself to create art when you’re feeling physically and/or mentally exhausted?
