Boredom:


Been drawing a lot of hats recently. Below: Hand-drawn pattern consisting of 3 caps and 3 beanies. Might use it for something some day but at the moment it's just a pattern. (Click to enlarge)

  1. "Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful or to discover something that is true" - W.R.Inge

    “The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.” - Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

    “No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.” - Robert Adams

    “Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.”

    - Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

  2. Haha! All wise words.

    I think Earl Nightingale had it right with...
    “You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea” Pretty much appropriate because I didnt know where I was going with this before it actually happened!

    “The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” - Ellen Parr
