Artist's Block?

I've been suffering from "Artist's Block", just like "Writer's Block" but with paints. Trying to find inspiration to finish a few pieces that I've kept lying around the workshop for months now. I don't know if this happens to anyone else out there, but some projects begin with so much enthusiasm and passion and then you put them down and never pick them up again. One day goes by, then two, then two weeks, then you just resent them sitting there mocking your procrastination.

28mm Mechanic Figure

A 1/35 scale M.AK bike with scratch-built rider

1/16 scale SS Figure

So yea, there they stand. The M.AK motor bike was/is going to be part of a "post-apocalyptic" vignette I had in mind with an old Highway sign and stuff. Never really worked it all out. The 28mm figure had/has a really nice base in the background of the pic. And this sad looking German was going to sit in a patch of snow waiting for the next assault.

Yea, procrastination and lack of inspiration will kick you *ss.

Hey, look, here's a great New York Times Article on the psychology of procrastination. Maybe I'll read this instead of working.

Any comments, questions, or verbal abuse that would inspire/shame me to finish these guys would be encouraged.
