it's time

Agreed. More than you ever thought.

Escapay

Actually this piece is so last week when I felt pressured and crap from The Pool. Oh and I just dubbed you, ridiculously talented wonderful people, 'The Pool'. It's all in the general commitment-phobe theme. That'll be my theme I suppose (personally) for the next few months. *snicker snicker scheme scheme*

I'm brimming with:

• nervous energy
• excitement
• passion

maybe in that order, maybe not.
I feel quite guilty posting the old work here, but.. I may only because they're possibly rather pretty.

Holy pixels artkid! new followers!

Goddammit. You guys are making me peek out of my little hermit hole. Thank you though I think I need to be surrounded by creatives and somehow guiltily forced into creating. *Snicker* Oh how I hate/love you.

I just one-night-standed Ms Paint to make that piece of crap graphic. *facepalm* Shoot me. It was quick, I was desperate, and I don't have PS on this machine (gasssp). Suckit.

Maybe I'll make a living doing really cheapass gross graphics. Oh..wait... *snicker*

I just went on a follow-blog spree. I feel all tingly and connected to people. Hah. Thanks for the followings new followers! Hope I don't traumatize you!
I'm making a bit of a switcheroo, from the main blog - which I've now dubbed the 365 blog, and I'll do more drawy, artsy crap here. Right. Needed to do that. Whew.Trust me folks, these days, the little victories count. Hard. It also helps that it's a slow day at work with no one annoying the hell out of me.

Anyway bit of mush here, but goddamn you people are talented. Holy shit! I'm absolutely proud of the work you all are doing.

I'll get to my whiny, self-deprecating artistic inadequacy post later on.

Ofili vs Doig

I was reading this Bombsite chill article with a foreword by Leon Wainwright, followed by a discussion/interview of sorts between Chris Ofili and Peter Doig. It's 2 years old I think, but it's quite timelessly brilliant and relevant to painters and artists of all kinds.

It fascinates me that some painters work for long hours on 1 painting... I am not sure if that's the way I work. I don't work like that. Ever. I'm impatient. I like getting things done immediately, especially artwork, though I guess even that has its exceptions. I spent a couple weeks on that damn scroll ... but I supposed if it was a mural or something I would have taken a lot longer. Don't know. It was all freehand and almost automatic.

I've been on a journey to get back to the creative space, to find studio time, and to actually focus on what I love. I've been working in a day job that makes studio time impossible without burning myself out. Damn you artist plague! I'm working to escape from that at all costs - probably pretty high costs too, but it's probably worth it.

Committing... it's a problem. clearly.

I have decided by the way I should actually keep posting shit here, because, err I have new followers, so I would feel abnormally guilty and such for abandoning this blog. Sigh.
In lieu of such grand statements : I will try my very best to post something artily interesting as often as possible, if not my own work. *pinky swears*
Right, so.. no huge expectations within the next few months, because I'm plotting and scheming. Ok? Good. :P
Marginal commitment only! Hah. There's also the main blog. *hint hint please follow there too!*

guilt

is terrible for the artist conscious. So I'm not guilty for abandoning this project for so long. It takes strange hours to get me going.Too many sites and things...arghhh and I just joined BlogHer. Sheesh!

I've been working and scheming and planning my life. (Yayyy go me!)

More action is  going on on the main art blog (though this should be it) Gawd.
The Photo365 project is going well though I need to be more technically focused. I have been distracted though. Ah well.

I'm getting there slowly, and within the next few months I'll be doing new and fantastic things. :)

No ... it's a secret.

Never fear, it'll come together. It has taken me far too long to realise that I need to live for me, and do my own work, and just do what I want to do. No one else is doing it for me! Duh!
