Final Resolution!

Hello faithful few, So I have come to my "Final New Years Resolution" for 2008. So here it is;

1. My one final resolution is to make sure that I continue to stay focused. That I continue to stay up on my art.

Its not just enough to talk about it here to you, my faithful few. I need to stay sharp. Stay focused. Lace up my shoes and JUST DO IT!

I have started working on some projects that I hope to have finished for these two shows locally coming up soon that I want to participate in. With proper motivation and the right focus behind me, I am sure I can bang out some real good stuff.

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

The Antsy Artist

Hello faithful few, I am taking a break from my new years resolutions until next week. I will geive you the rest of them then. I want to quickly talk about what I am conspiring to do.

I am going to start a series of drawing, which I will just let everything happen as it happens. I want to try this practice for a little bit to see how it comes out. I know this is a brief blog post but I need to get crack. So check back next week for the rest of those resolutions and I might have pictures.

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...

Hi again...

Faithful few, here I go again. Another week, another post. You know, this is the week of my birthday(Jan 12th, capricorns stand up!) and it also is another week that I bring you some more of my new year's resolutions. So let's get to it:

1. I will travel more this year.
2. I will visit museums and galleries more frequently this year.
3. This is the year when I really pull it all together as an artist.

That's all I am going to give you folks today as far as it goes for my resolutions. Look for more next week.

I am having a mini-block right now I believe, I have tried starting a few pieces but then my ideas get thrown out of wack. I mean, the creative atmosphere is there but creative juices are not flowing as freely as I would like them to. I mean don't get me wrong I am working, but everything is really raw and rough. Nothing is close to being fully resolved like I want it to be. I am not trying to force anything but I really need to make more headway into my projects. I am hoping that in the couple of weeks my work speaks more to my inner artist and begins to show itself.

Until next week sometime, namaste and stay strong...

Enter 2008...

I would like to welcome you, my faithful few, to the year 2008! Man, can you believe it. Where is all the time going? I don't really have alot to say this week. It is such a shame this being my first post of the year and all, but I am going back on what I said in last weeks post. I won't list all my resolutions here but instead I will give you a few each week until the end of January. So for now lets get down to it.

New Years' Resolution

1. I will combat my procrastination.
2. I will remain focused on creating more art.
3. I will promote myself more effectively as an artist.

Well that's all I will give you for now. I hope I have at least mildly whetted your appetite to see what I bring to you guys in my next few posts. Hopefully I will feel more up to unleashing a plethora of brain fodder for you guys to gnaw on.

Until next week sometime, namaste and stay strong...

Last post of 2007!

Well, well...here we are my faithful few! My last post of the year! Can you believe it in approximately 3 days we will be in 2008! I am looking forward to next year. It will be a new beginning for me. I am in the midst of working on some new work; as well as going back into old work that I still have unresolved. I have a few series that I started but left open for awhile. Now is the time to return to them, I believe I have some good stuff in them that I haven't explored. I know that these series have unrealized potential that I MUST FINALLY tap into. Next year is a good time to do good work!

Going forward I want to wish everybody a happy and safe New Year. In next weeks post I will list my new years resolutions as well as my goals for the coming year.

Until next week sometime, namaste and stay strong...

The Holidays

Happy Holidays!!!!!
Well its the time again, my few faithful, another weekly post is amongst you. Let me start by saying I love the holidays but for some reason I find it hard to get excited about it these days. Maybe because I look forward to my birthday(which is a couple of weeks away). Enough of that, now to the business at hand.

I have begun to employ the use of Xerox transfers in work. Its is a pretty straightforward approach with magnificent results. For the time being I am working kind of small with it(8" x 10" and up). Alot of artists employ this technique to some degree of success but I want to take it to a somewhat different level. In the beginning I will be very basic with it but as I get more involved with it, I will begin to do more of a deconstructing process with it. More along the lines of putting it down and removing it then re-applying it and then repeating the process.

I am more involved mentally with my work then ever. I have had a more interpersonal approach to creating art and I am really driving myself to produce more involved and focused works of art. I am definitely trying to carry myself into the new year on a high note.

Until next week sometime, stay strong...

2 weeks!(Just about)

Hello faithful few(trust me next year I am going to have alot of people reading and subscribing to my blog). There are just about two weeks left in this year and soon I will begin posting my resolutions here. I know one of them will be to CREATE MORE. Later here I have been starting work and then stopping work only to pick up on it later or months down the road. Right now I am in the midst of 4 separate projects, not to mention I need to photograph my new stuff for my portfolio. I need to come up with a way in which I can devote more time to my craft. Maybe instead of trying to be more spontaneous with it, I should set aside a time period where I say, "This is when I will go about the business of making wondrous works of Art!" Hopefully that will ignite a fire and I can perhaps get better focused on what I am doing. Well thats all I have for you guys this week.

As always...Until next week, stay strong...
