I don't know, but that's ok...

This is a blog for all the people who have told me the following about my art:

"you should do it"
"you should totally do it"
"you should freakin' do it already!"

I am thankful to say that you all are in the majority.

I think it's easy to believe you are alone in the process. When I work on art, my mind closes off to the outside world. It's like meditating and those moments when you are most aware and also at the most peace. It's a difficult feeling to place and create, but once it's there, you cannot help but want to sustain it.

I work too hard to give myself even more of a hard time. I do not want to be the world's most well-known artist or a wealthy one. I want to express the ideas I have. It's like I've spun a magic wand and all the things I see and acknowledge and want to incorporate into my art all start flying towards me.

My head hurts often. A certain someone has told me that I think too much; I think that person is right (most of the time). I've been a bit afraid to express what I actually think and feel. Perhaps it is too difficult to visualize or vocalize. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of failure. I have to keep reminding myself, though, that ideas are evolving.

Conclusion:  I'm going to freakin' do it already.
