Are you doing stuff like this in between projects or have you got a quiet period now? I feel so full on with what I'm doing (and also slow) that I wouldn't be able to do anything random like this even if I was actually capable XD (I always need a project, random stuff just doesn't happen x_x)
I am in crunch. But exactly because of that I put an afternoon of my week to do something not work related. I still have to work hard on client projects.
I need to keep my mind fresh or I start hating my work as it becomes everything I do. So.. I take a bite out of the work for a little social and artistic fun.
Ahh that makes more sense.
