I’m a shambling, mumbling, brain-eating zombie right now. Not the righteous killer zombies from 28 Days Later (or Valve’s Upcoming Left 4 Dead which I find myself waiting for like some kind of sweaty crackfiend). More like the shuffling Romero kind.
I’m an insomniac right now. Twisted and paranoid because I didn’t get enough sleep. Eyes red and bloodshot, fingers twitchy from constant infusions of caffeine.
I’m not in this state because I was up all night working on a website. I wasn’t up all night because I was caught in the grips of “one-more-round-itis”. Nope. The reason I’m up is because Crestock just launched another contest and I can’t help but duke it out in the field of Photoshop Battle.
Yes. There are paying freelance projects I need to work on. Yes. There are lots of billable hours I need to complete for my real job. Yes. Mel and I are tag-teaming Dead Space. But instead, I make excuses to myself such as: “I’ve always been meaning to master the Warp tool” or “I need to pwn the Photoshop brush engine” and wind up making designs for a Photoshop Design contest.
I don’t quite expect to win. Looking over 2007’s winner list reminds me that I’m just a little fish swimming in a huge salty pool of great designers and graphic artists. But I’d be honored enough to be mentioned in the same breath.
