Thank you guys for hanging in there with me. Man, I'm a terrible blogger!
But for brief update on my artwork and such- ●I am still working. ●I am available for commission work. ●Currently working with Snow College's Business Department for an advertisement video! ●"Grandpa's Owies" is coming together! Check out Blurb when the link will show up! That third bullet though... man... this has been an interesting one... Have you ever signed yourself up for something you feel inadequate for? Or maybe not realizing what you signed up for? ✋ You, my friends, are not alone. And unfortunately, this happens to me often outside of artwork, and not enough within my career. Frankly, this is within my career, so I'm totally cool with that! I've never done any sort of project like this before. It's a stretch that is quite frankly a little painful (literally... my hands were aching for 3 hours after working on the drawing.... ok maybe 2.) But what an awesome experience this is, doing this project! To give a rundown of what I'm doing for the Snow College Business Department, I'm illustrating the advertisement in a commentary time lapse! Have you seen those sweet advertisements on TV or on YouTube of the time lapse drawing videos that are instructive? Yeah, I suppose I am the hand that you will be seeing in the video! The joy! (Apply the lotion and trim the nails right?) I never would have imagined myself signing up for anything like this either. But maybe it's my new mindset going on. I've discovered how hard it is to be an artist... how the difficulty of being an artist isn't necessarily about the whole selling of it, but it's of the personal war that the artist has with themselves and thr constant nourishment of ideas that are needed to be an artist. No, I don't go insane, angry at myself and throw my chairs against the wall. But I am always quickly bored at the project I do. I think I have discovered that I want to try going about my art in another way- Pump put the ideas when they come. That means: ●Following through ideas ●Believe in myself ●Get it done- until I am satisfied The reason why I say this? Having the unfortunate chance to not be taking any studio classes opened my eyes to the reality of how much my art needs attention -my ideas need to be displayed in any way possible. Many artists that I have spoken with this semester (Through Art Talks and other means) have taught me one thing overall: Say Yes until you are "Worthy Enough to Say No." And so I've done so.... to the best of my ability. Say yes to everything- even though I may feel inadequate! :) Peachy huh? Thanks for reading everyone and please contact me if you wish for me to do an artwork for youuuu! Stay Peachy! GO
