A struggle in art?

I make my living by drawing at events such as weddings and corporate events of all kinds and I love what I do but I also enjoy creating caricatures of celebrities and try to push the exaggeration and produce something that my peers enjoy and admire.

My problem is that due to the high number of events that I draw at and also the regular stream of commissions that I receive, I find that I simply do not have the time to devote to sit down and put in the hours to create new celebrity caricatures.

Other caricaturists like Paul Moyse and Neil Davis are producing some outstanding work and I can see that they will continue to do so and enjoy successful careers.

So my personal struggle is with time. How can I find time to work on my projects such as celebrity caricatures and also my cartoon projects, which I love also!

Sorry for the heartfelt bleeding but just wanted to share with you how I feel and how as an artist, what kind of things go on inside the 'head'..!

I do not want to change a thing as I love drawing live and entertaining people, it is such a wonderful feeling to have everyone laughing at what I am doing and also the finished drawings!

I am very lucky to have such a great career and work hard at making sure it continues to grow.

But maybe one day when I slow down I shall find time to do more on the other projects, until then its 'pen for hire'.....
