A Year of Making Art, Day 182: In the Midst of Hypomania

October 18, 2007  Day 182

I am definitely hyper this week.  I've been getting up between 5 and 6 a.m. every morning, and find my head buzzing with projects and ideas.  If you haven't read it before in this blog, I am bipolar.  I love the hypomania, but also know that it takes its toll, and the aftermath could very well be depression. 

I enjoyed making this morning's drawing, which began with an unpromising beginning.  Step by step, I urged it to come together:

I believe one thing that's making me hyper is hosting two art trail open studio weekends, one last weekend and the next coming up in two days.   After that I'll probably crash, or at least relax a bit.  My online art business has heated up lately, also, and it seems that I spend more time at the business than the art-making end these days.  When business is slow, I get depressed.  When it is good, I get hyper.   

(Note:  There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
