Bored and feeling creative? Worry not.

OK, here's your guys' homework.

If you're ever feeling creative (writing, drawing, doesn't matter), but don't have any idea what to do with that creativity, and don't mind complete and utter crack, choose a fandom. Any fandom will do, honest. Then write out the names of all of the characters on little slips of paper (they don't have to be perfect, just ripping a piece of ruled paper into strips and then ripping those strips into smaller pieces will do) and put them in a plastic baggy, hat, etc. Label this your Random Draw _____ (actual labels are optional). Then I suggest either drawing a single name and trying to write a one-shot based on that character or drawing that character, or, if you're in a *really* cracky mood, picking *two* names and trying to write/draw them as a couple.

Alternatively, if you're feeling slightly *less* crackish, or you just don't want to do that, find a list of something. Phobias work well. [link] is a good website for this. Then pick a random phobia or whatever, and try to write or draw something based on that.

good exercise. What if you're feeling creative but lazy?

My general response to 'creative but lazy' is to grab the nearest art supply, the nearest piece of scrap paper, and do random things. Sometimes it looks like you took pills full of paint and vomited it onto the nearest surface, and sometimes it looks like something that should belong in a museum.

Then again, an ordinary glass on a shelf sitting 15 feet above the ground apparently belongs in a museum these days, so I could probably sneeze in a tissue and somebody would say *that* belonged in one.

I hate you and everything you stand for.
:iconaertistx:
ha!

Right on... thanks, I'll give 'em both a try.
