I am an artist, correct? So why am I wondering what art to show these people in my critique class, why does there seem to be no art to show? The answer is simple. I have not been making art for myself. It has been a long time. I draw in my sketchbook almost daily, but the other stuff, the cut-outs, paintings, big drawings, collages...have been forgotten, left behind, put away. I keep thinking it's because I have no comfortable space to make them in, or that I don't have the right supplies, or actually any excuse at all...I'm making excuses to not make art, the only thing I actually want to do. So here's the positive part: I have one class a week devoted entirely to critiquing new work that was not made for any other class. I no longer have an excuse to not make super awesome, sick-ass, kick-butt art work. I'll be sharing it as soon as it springs forth from the depths of my soul. Any postitive vibrations, intentions, energy you are dying to send my way in this vein would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm actually scared!
The time left in my beautiful apartment that I love is drawing to a close. My room mates are lame-oids and didn't pay rent or utilities last month. I will be moving in with a friend who is more responsible on the first of March. It is so fortuitous that March is approaching. It sounds so much less cold than February. It is close to 1 degree outside, but with the wind and all it feels like negative 15 or so. FUN!
