The struggle of an artist

I've really been struggling with my work and the directions that i want it to go. i feel that the fact that I'm not employed full time, i should be making work non stop, but I'm not, and i feel horrible about it. i just don't feel very creative, and its not that i m burnt out, because i haven't really made anything that substantial for awhile. maybe its just me be to hard on myself, i need something to ignite that spark again, this is all i want to do, and i feel now is make or break time, i need to paint, to create, to have that run down feeling when you've been up for four days working on a painting only to wipe it all away and start over, i need that, and i don't have it right now. while I'm damn proud of the work that i made earlier this year, i just dont feel like that says who i am as an artist, I'm not sure what would say that. i have tons of ideas and maybe it just a matter of making every single thought that i have for a piece of work until i find what  is gonna fill that hole that i have. 

been awhile eh?

I've been inspired to start this bad boy back up after reading a friends blog, seems to be a good outlet.

 So i'm now a college graduate, woo...hip hip.....fuck it, i'd give anything to be back in a classroom setting, the studio, my art family. but that chapter is passed. still no job, havent really been out of the house. but im trying, im trying to think positive and keep my head up. I have been making some art recently so thats a good thing, trying to use my "time off" in a positive way, my goal is to be in a show this year yet, still lots of time, just need to do it. I guess i dont have alot more to say.....birthday next week, and as much as i dont want a party, i invited some people over to laura's. a few weeks ago i was all about the "dirty 30" party....now i could honestly care less about it, but she insists that i keep it, its not gonna have monster trucks though so i am kinda bummed about that, and who knows, it might be a really good time.

thoughts about the future

with the end of my career at pcad rapidly coming to an end, i cant help but think of what the future will hold. its scary as hell. how am i going to keep the intensity that i have now towards making work when i dont have the structure that i have now. i dont think that it is wrong to say that i want to sell my work to make money, some might call it selling out, i call it making a living. and i dont really give a shit f i piss off the "art guy" that thinks they need to stay pure and not give in to the corporate world. not that im going to whore myself out to the highest bidder, if an opportunity presents itself, and tasted good,  would be stupid not to bite.

so theres my thoughts about today. i had  a really bad week, followed by an even worse friday morning. though it seems that when situations like that arise, you grow up quick.

 this is the only life i know. this is the life i'm paying for.

first

so this is my first blog, as much as i loathe that word, i took the plunge and created this space.  thoughts on cool stuff and what not that i see. i'll try and keep it updated as often as possible.
