Sewing inner confidence
I am ecstatic about the internal liberation that's taking place within me as I explore the Spirits, Souls and Ghosts more and more deeply. I am excited to see just how far I can go with these 3 forms or shapes. I thought of Johnny Cash recently who said he did it with 3 chords. I'm doing it with 3 shapes, forms characters. The variations are endless and surprising myself while staying true to the unspeakable personal truth that was birthed upon the insertion of these 3 forms
From Annex to Studio
(This portion was created via my iPhone which I consider an annex for the opportunities I get to be seated at my actual computer to write and share. The content is copied and pasted from my email once I am at my computer.) I'm really quite inspired to make more Spirits, Souls and Ghosts. The series is really lifting my spirits. I like how diverse it can get from just the 3 shapes or forms, characters almost. I'm interested in developing them just more and more (This portion
Working through ideas
I'm excited about all of the freedom and liberation I am feeling from the Spirits, Souls and Ghosts series. I see tremendous potential in this work and am experiencing firsthand the benefits to my own life with the work I have already made. I am also revisiting a piece titled Union which has me compiling documents produced by the request for library materials through OhioLink and SearchOhio. The document ends up having my name along with the name of the person or project I ha
More Reflections
This one is straight from The Studio. I am at my iMac in its familiar space. I have a lot of ideas and thoughts about my work right now and how it is developing. My trip to New York couldn't have gone better really. I got to see several galleries and talk with several people about art. It was cool to see current work being shown in exhibition spaces of the now. It has inspired me greatly. I am all a buzz with energy and love for my work and for my website. I feel like
Reflections on me in New York (Annex)
(This was originally transmitted on September 17th, 2015 via my iPhone) I have been super stoked from my trip to New York. I got to visit many galleries in Chelsea along with a visit to the Whitney. I introduced myself to the galleries the best I could. I was carrying two paintings with me in a portfolio. I gave many people a little hand drawn card on really nice thick paper. The little cards had my website address and email on them along with my name. I learned of an artist
Free to be an artist
I'm working back into a firmer grasp of form and shape and purpose in my drawing and going towards painting again. I'm doing drawings with markers copic markers and they give a really painterly feel to both the making of the lines and shapes but also to the look of them. I've stopped thinking of myself as a new media artist, a sound artist, musician or painter and am easing into just being an artist where the medium is secondary to the inspiration. I mean I still love walking
Vacation, The Preciousness of Time
Originally transmitted on September 6th 2015 via my iPhone I'm usually physically at work at my job as a shift supervisor on a break writing here in the annex for The Studio. I think it would be good to be real with The Studio being like a blog and really using a blog format. Oh, I'm at a car service facility by the way doing a little work here in the studio. I'm at a cross roads. I'm going in deeper with being a manager and I'm also going deeper with my art. I guess I want t
Wonder
Originally transmitted August 29th 2015 via my iPhone. I'm writing from Starbuck's today, just got out of work. I have a book about Cezanne with me which has something about Einstein in it. I'm thinking about loosening up a little while focusing in on what is essential to my work here in the studio. I think of Van Gogh and his letters and this space now seems like a tremendous opportunity for me to compile my thoughts, discoveries, epiphanies, feelings, inspirations and such.
