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.
