This is another blog. Yes I know, there is flickr and deviantart and all that stuff but I wanted to have a blog where I can write more about my art.
Now we live in 2007. The last year was a bit weird. It was the first time that I was unemployed and I had very much time to think about art and things around it. I sucked in applying for study because today everybody seems to want to study design and maybe I'm not good enough?? Oh no...I know that this is the right thing for me. I know that....but when it comes to art, everybody has a different taste. Professors are strange. I don't like beeing judged all the time and maybe art should not be my profession. Maybe it's better to have art as hobby, as a thing you can hold on to in bad times.
Whatever.
I was always kind of sick of making something. You know, this feeling when you want to do art, when you really want to be creative, but you have no idea what to do. You have no muse waiting for you. Really frustrating.
Then I read Danny Gregory's The Creative License. And this book is so amazing and brilliant and everything. I really loved it and it gives me so much power...
Finally, I have a plan for 2007:
* draw, draw, draw. Every day. Fill journals. Doodle around. Don't waste time with watching bad tv-shows...just draw :)
* Do a lot of acrylic paintings on canvas... crazy, abstract paintings.
* draw on the outside, draw people, draw animals, draw landscapes
* use more watercolor
* find other people who wants to draw with me
* start college ...
* draw more from imagination (because I suck at this ;D )
* draw a lot on summer vacation in Italy this year (me and my boyfriend are going to travel to italy this year, 3 weeks through the whole country. Venezia, Florence, Rome, etc.)
* draw series of things
* make my own handmade-book
* work on calligraphy
Maybe I add more in the next time :)
