Stuck in a Funk

This week I have been completely uninspired. I feel utterly exhausted, and I haven't been able to accomplish anything whatsoever. I have more than one project that I need to get started, and I haven't been able to come up with any ideas. I feel like my mind is dead. As I've sat and contemplated what to do, I have even tried to search the web for inspiring images or for anything at all that could spark my interest, but, nothing. I feel like I am stuck in a rut, unable to get out. Out of the frustration of being idea-less, I decided to go to the wheel and try to throw a few pieces to get me motivated to create something; but alas, my inability to do anything art related this week kicked in again, and I failed miserably on a few wimpy pieces. I need out of this funk! I want to be able to start on something, I just don't know where or how right now. So this is me, an uninspired artist, trying to find myself.

I feel like I haven't completed this blog, but I cannot honestly say that I have been inspired this week. I have failed. But to make accurately complete what the blog has asked of me, I googles "inspiring art" and found this image on the first page:

After clicking on the image, I noticed that it was part of a series called "Angels of Protection" by Rob Jacobs. In a small discription of the work, he said "I did feel that any series with angels would be conducive in helping me heal some of my own personal issues." He also explained that one of the angel works that he created hung over his fathers' bed for protection. I am Catholic, and strongly believe in God being part of my life, so this image was a reminder that I have a guardian angel watching over me, helping me to get through this funk. This series is the small inspiration and motivation that my week is ending with. Thank you Rob Jacobs. 

This series has also been compiled into a book with true inspiring stories.

I love the bright colors and collage technique used, especially of this last one!
