Progress.

Been making lots of new art lately. It’s a beautiful thing! Have been thinking a lot lately about alter-egos, taking it to a dark place, or humorous, playful, sexy, mysterious, etc. Trying not to overanalyze, just going with it. Doing lots of work on paper these days, as opposed to my usual oil on canvas, which is more or less for financial reasons. Gotta be resourceful, there’s a damn recession happening people!! Gosh, but I have so many creative ideas, problem is just finding the time & money to execute a lot of them. I’m already burning the candle at both ends many days, but I have this intense desire to be productive and push myself. I’m not easily satisfied with my progress. When I leave this world, hopefully a loooooooooooooooooong time from now, I want to leave behind a prolific body of important work. I want to make work that has an impact, leaves a lasting impression on people, but on the flip I also don’t care what people think and I need to remain true to myself. Sometimes the finished product isn’t always so important as the creative process. Sometimes the mania driven frenzied thought process & execution of such is more important to me than how saleable the final piece might be. I’m cool with that at times, however I need to get out and line up some shows. I swear there are not enough hours in the day!! Also been thinking about green ways to make quality art. Definitely am not wasteful with my materials. From time to time when I see something interesting put out for the trash, I’ll take it if I think I can paint on it or re-work it into something neat. I’m all about recycling & reusing stuff so long as it doesn’t look cheap. So that’s the dealy yo yo. My mind is racing in a million directions. Ah, if only I were working in the studio right now. Where are you, wealthy benefactor?? I know you are out there somewhere. Sigh. :)
