Step Away From The Computer

Getting ready to order some prints in a couple of days. Truthfully I should have ordered them a couple of weeks ago, but I kept putting it off. No particular reason really, just procrastinated.

Procrastination is something that I’ve always had a hard time dealing with. Maybe a deeper look would suggest that inspiration or motivation would be better suited terms for my lack of production lately.

I try to stay motivated, but find myself often frustrated with my surroundings. Midland, TX doesn’t really offer me the creative outlets I desire. Well, that’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

My real problem is possibly comfortability. Or perhaps a few meet ups with some local artists would do me some good.

So here’s a question to all of you Midlanders. Are you a creative individual/creative professional/artist/craftsperson or writer. I could use some face time to see what’s really here in this community.

What am I missing?

Wanna do lunch?

Something To Watch Over The Weekend

I love TED talks. They’ve been recently released as free to the world and I wanted to share this little gem with you. I’ll probably periodically share random talks as I find them appropriate for the general topic of art.

This video is of Alison Jackson and her works looking into and dissecting celebrity. I love her candor, vision, and strength.

Enjoy.
