Artist Check In: Eric Suggs, Jr.

Staying Connected to Art in the New Age

Over the last 3 months it’s been hard to stay devoted to practicing and testing my creativity. I have my wife and niece to thank for getting me back into drawing again - man I missed this! Art has always been an outlet for me, and drawing specifically offered me an escape whenever I needed a break from the world around me.

My re-commitment was sparked last Friday in the form of a drawing challenge text I received from my niece. We decided to call each other and just talk and draw - you know, checking in with one another. She told me about the newest manga she’s reading and she's learning Japanese because of all the Anime she watches. How cool is that?

I’ve also had the chance to check-in on some of my follow Artists (the Art Fam, as I call them), and it’s been great catching up, hearing people's voices and seeing their current projects. I’m hoping we can do a group draw one day soon. I think that would keep the fire burning. Anyway, it’s been a blast reconnecting, and I’m looking forward to getting things back on track. I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and blessed.

Now… LET GET BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
