Hello, my name is Lyzard, and I’m a… a craft addict…
I, uh, fell off the wagon… again… about a week ago… and I went on another three-day-bender.
It all started last week. I was really jonesing for a craft fix and as much as I tried to resist I just couldn’t shake that monkey on my back. So I went to my local dealer Ben F. (maybe you’ve heard of him?) to hook up. The sad thing is that it wasn’t even the primo stuff, but when you need it, you need it, man.
I told myself I’d only get a little something to tide me over for a little while, but you know how it goes…
Man, they had so much stuff, and all the paraphernalia to go with it. They even had people crafting right there in the open! I couldn’t believe it- old ladies doing it in plain sight and they weren’t even waiting to get home to get their fix!
But I didn’t care, I didn’t even give a thought as to what it cost; I just had to have it!
Work was a total blur the next day- all I could think about was going home, rolling up my sleeves and getting right to it.
I spent the next three nights in a craft-induced frenzy. I barely ate, I barely slept- I just couldn’t get enough!
First I hit the computer pretty hard. Those t-shirt designs have swelled into an insidious and all-consuming habit.
Having not sated my need I moved on to the harder stuff: airbrushing. I’m still new to this experience, but as all you closet artists know, drawing and painting were just gateway addictions to this new dependency. When I get my head clear again there will be full disclosure (and a full explanation) as to what the hell this picture is all about.
Then I realized that I still had some of the green stuff to finish off, but that wasn’t a problem as you can see.
So, here I am in the aftermath of my creative frenzy: eyes burning, hands trembling and all I can think is...
…Dude, I need another fix…
