13 December: Getting stuck

13/12/2020

Ghastly times when work hides behind a curtain while fire-fighting and just struggling with being alive happen to everyone at some point, and that’s okay. It takes time to heal and it will eventually fade into the background. But what about those other times when everything is apparently fine and hunky-dory and you should be charging ahead with brilliant work but the bogeyman comes to visit, settling into your brain in a bleak, growly fog just when art should be blossoming, and effort after effort ends up in an angry ball of scrunched-up matter in the bin, aka creative block.

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
