REPO! (<3) and Repo (:/)

February 26th, 2010  |  Published in art

So, I’ve really loved REPO! The Genetic Opera and even had the amazing fortune of attending the premiere and meeting some of the incredible people behind it. Seeing this idea come to life against much adversity has had a huge impact on my own choice to wholeheartedly pursue my creative passion. :)

With Repo Men coming out, there’s some interesting discussion going on- I just want to say that I love the classy viewpoints Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich have been sharing: Read the rest of this entry »

02 Self-Portraits: 01.24.10-2.13.10

February 16th, 2010  |  Published in Uncategorized, art, self-portraits

Oh, still rusty!

I guess I’ll just soften my goal to having little groups of self-portraits, hopefully twice a month, which are either better than the last group or on par . . . According to my subjective evaluations, ha.

Right now it’s a little extra challenging as I’ve been so busy with Edgewater . . . But I’m always becoming better and better. :)

Oh well. Always growing. :)

Someone asked me . . .

How my art has become a big thing in my life.

My response:

I’ve always loved drawing and painting since I was little and it was very natural of me to pursue it in school. After letting go of my “secure” job, I thought I’d dive fully into art, but that actually didn’t happen. A source of resistance in me has been this idea that I *have* to work HARD at art DAILY to be an artist. But all that pressure hadn’t really been working out . . . Growth came with a better and better understanding of the creative power of the universe; I’ve ended up seeing art in everything. So I’m coming more and more to see life as this great work in progress which shows a flow of creativity, regardless of whether I spend 10 hours today painting or put that off in favor of watching porn and eating ice cream.

Of course, once I let go of that pressure it’s easier and easier TO regularly put 10+ hours into art. Oh, Universe. <3
