Greedo [a minor Star Wars<\/em> character] feels not only like something I shouldn’t draw — “Copying<\/em>!” “”but like I shouldn’t even acknowledge that I know about him. [‘Cause that’s geeky and not cool? Too commercial? What?] But this is my culture, this is what I grew up on.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

I’m finding that since I took on this idea of doing an art show it’s hard to think of what to show — that classic thing, just like writer’s block, of getting stuck on what other people would think.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
The hardest thing is that there’s just room for four drawings. If I could bring twenty, then there wouldn’t be pressure about any one of them — I could have some serious ones, some funny ones — but since there’s just four, they have to count! I know I have to forget about this, and that I do have to make a decision about some point…<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
