.first: HATE COMCAST HATE HATE HATE I WANT PRETTY ANGSTY JOHN RIGHT NOW DAMMIT.

.cover: While writhing in searing torment waiting for my chance to snag the episode, I ventured into Photoshop for the first time in some weeks and doodled out a cover for sheafrotherdon's Iowa!verse fic [These Men Who Have Flown].






I have been having serious creativity issues for the past several weeks. While there's an obvious reason for it, i.e. more stress and work than I'm used to, I rely a lot on MS Word/Moleskine/Photoshop to alleviate some of my tension and that these venues haven't been working has kind of made me even more neurotic than I usually am.

It's SO lovely, aitches! The space and the wee plane and adsflasdfkasdfasjdfasdfas;dlfksadjf scruffy John, eeeeeeeee!!!

Naaaaaaaw. *pets you gently*

John is adorable. I love how the plane matches his shirt. And the little techy bits. Just lovely. :)

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

Wow, you do lovely work!

[winkingstar.livejournal.com]

Oh that is lovely! With the plane and the checked shirt and the empty spaces waiting to be filled. Oh, so lovely!

And I am sorry about your creative block lately. I think it is the worst feeling in the world when even your escape venues leave you adrift. But this here is a good start in unblocking that creativity, yes? ♥

Nice! The colours are so crisp and clean.

[tardis80.livejournal.com]

I always love how you blend textures and images and text to make something poetic and lovely. ♥

Yay yay yay scruffy John!!! \o/ \o/ *licks his scruffy chin*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

Oh! That is gorgeous! The plane flying through all the big empty spaces and beautiful John, scruffy and checkered and lovely, dreaming of it all. Stunning.

I love the layer of scribbles and the wash of blues and scruffy scruffy John and mmmmmm.

:o)

*whines pathetically* I want John, Amber. I want him right now.

I love how the plane matches his shirt.

That was fate! I was determined to use Joe in his plaid shirt for Iowa!John, and the first photo of a Piper J3 I found was a yellow one :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Eeeee *blush* Thank you!

Get used to that feeling, hon. He's so magical. So so magical. *dreamy sigh*

So adorable. I can't believe Joe owns that shirt on purpose. I am glad it's good for something other than making me giggle at him.

Thank you kindly!!! ♥ ♥

I hope so! Usually even when things are really rough I've been able to do fun things to calm myself down and refocus, and not being able to do that has only added to the stress/general misery. Hopefully, that will all be over soon :D

So pretty!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! I've been trying to work with bolder, sharper colors, so I'm happy this came out nicely :)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*wriggles joyfully* Thank you!!!! ♥♥♥

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Pretty pretty John! *siiiigh*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

mmmmph *loves her some scruffy scruffy John toooo*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you thank you! That's just what I was going for--John with the plane schematics, and then imagining what it'll be like in flight :)

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

Oh me that is loverly!

And you have my sympathies with the creative issues. I can relate. So not fun.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Get used to that feeling, hon.

*siiiiighs, resigns herself*

I am glad it's good for something other than making me giggle at him.

I thought it existed so he could leave the top few buttons undone and drive me to distraction whenever I look at pictures of him wearing it :>

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :) :)

When you really really need to have creative time, not having it work, or not being able to find it... oh man, oh man does that suck.

[clear-as-blood.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this is really pretty.

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

oh man, oh man does that suck.

It really, really does. Most of January was like that for me. Work stress didn't help matters. But now it's February and I'm optimistic!

[siria]

Oh, Aitch, it is so pretty! *rubs against his stubble*
