I've never been one who can just sit still, who can stay at the same job for years and live a simple life. My life has to be colorful, complex, and overwhelming, yet fun all in one. What's a good name for that? If you read enough medical reports and listen to the news, it's probably considered a "disorder."
I don't like files, I don't like organization really. If you hire me to organize then I will but I hate doing it on my own time. I don't like perfection and I don't like complainers. But, isn't that what a blog is for? For complaining really? Maybe not, because I will not admit to being a complainer.
My new thing now, which I think I'd be happy if it stuck, is being an Artist. I like the sound of it, I like the thought of it. I like the thought of being in my own giant roaring mess making things. Beautiful things. Actuality I've been a starving artist for about 8 years but just now am thinking to take it more seriously.
I mean, what better thing could I be right now in a recession... but to be an Artist making things people don't "need." In a recession they say people only buy things they NEED. Well, painted roses and other strange things I make may not be "needed" so I suppose I will continue to starve in my disorder.
So I have a page on etsy.com now. www.impulseART.etsy.com is my page. Share your thoughts with me, tell me what you think. I love the things I make and I am just as content to let them sit on my wall than anywhere else. But I am kind of hungry and if you buy something then maybe I could get a .99 cent taco somewhere. Don't worry, I don't smoke or drink so I wont spend it on that sort of stuff.
This is my first blog post on here. I have my other blog on www.DARRENandHAILEY.com, feel free to check it out. I think I may post some of these blogs on there or maybe i'll just tear down my blog page on my other site and refer people over to here.
Whatever it is I do, it'll be random, with lots of thought but little action that one can ever make sense of, including me.

Hey.
ReplyDeleteThis is Sara. I bought your adorable mountain scene.
Anyways, it's interesting, deciding to become a creative person - an artist. It's a process and really is so subjective. It's not like with degree granting programs that then qualify you to be able to practice.
There's this new movie coming out "Art & Copy" that talks about the real artists in the Advertising industry - which is an oxymoron in theory. It looks pretty great. The people in the trailer look like characters at least.
