New? Art? From Me?!?

[gonzai]

Yes, it's true. For the first time in 5 years, I did art. And reminded myself, painfully, why I quit in the first place. The doctor tells me I've developed carpal tunnel despite not having a job and doing a whopping one piece of art. Dammit.

Anyway, the Daredevil obsession brought this on. I found a nifty screenshot from the third ep


And decided to see if I could render it in scratchboard



If I can get the feeling back in my hands, I'd like to get back on the art horse. I haven't lost the talent, at least, just the physical capacity.

Since you are out of work, and presumeably COBRA'd, what about using the down time for surgery..

On Medicaid, embarrassingly. And my unemployment benefits ran out 3 weeks ago, so no time for surgery, must get a job no matter how menial. (I was turned down for a dog-walking job. Yes, I'm not qualified to pick up shit, apparently.) The doctor doesn't think it's surgery level right now anyway, more like medication/splint level.
