Work in progress

Here is a WIP (work in progress)
Not sure when I will finish it. I started it today.

Composition

Composition

Composition for me is the main ingredient. Or should I say the key to
mixing it all together. With out good composition the cake will be
flat or two lumpy.
This mixing the objects can be a very challanging part of creating
something works. So one needs to train the eye, mind and hands (body)
to work well with each other. If the hand can't move how the eye sees
it or the eye just can't see what mind creates the work will not work.
Simple.
So some form of excercise is needed for each key part of the body and
some to get them all working together.
Train your eye, mind and body to be one. Sounds like some stupid
Kungfu crap. But heh its true ask Caine (David Carradine)

Inspiration source?

Inspiration source?
Where should we get our inspiration from?
There are a lot places I thought inspiration came from. Some of them
do inspire but comes with some added crap that just take away from all
the hard work. Drugs is a good example.

For me there is no real steady source of inspiration, or one I can
count on 100% of the time. Like music is a good one for me but it
depends on the song.

One source I am really starting to rely on more often are close
friends. Manly newer friends. Some say love ones should be a good but
I think not unless they were always involved in your creative
actvities. If not they are not a good source. I think this has to do
with changes. Change is not always look upon as a good thing. Sometime
love ones don't think they should get involved but I think they should
try or listen.

Honestly I think your love ones should be your main source of
inspiration.

Well back to the friends as being a source. New friends are a good
source, probably because they met you as a creative person. When you
are older, you are wiser so you should pick better friends.

Finding a good source of inspiration is like finding the holy Grail.

Painting I started working on

It's in the truely early stage.

For pay or personal?

For pay or personal?

Should I do art for pay or personal reasons?

This is a big question. It causes so much meneal stress. I know I
should do art for myself but we all will love to make a living doing
what we love. Right?
I should bring some kind of balance so I can some money to pay for the
art I do for myself.

I will focus on doing art for myself mainly. This will help me to
develop my vision and techniques. This will in turn, hopefully, give
me skills to make money in the future.

Later!!!!

Hitting the trail

Hitting the trail for some photos and leg/back workout.

One day I will in here

One day I will be in this mag.

Laziness.

Laziness is my biggest enemy. Well it is one of them. Sometimes it
feels like a lack of motivation. Which I hope the later is true. I
would rather work with getting myself motivated then laziness.

One step at a time, right.

One print in progress

This one of many prints that I am working now. I continue to revisit
my prints.

Thinking about art this iPhone

Well I'm sitting here thinking about how I really want to be more
involved with art or have more a part of my life. Also I realize I'm
going to kill my iPhone battery if start using it to up date my blogs.

Later!
