I've been neglecting my blog (...and my artwork) in the past couple months since graduating in August. It's hard to keep the moment up without being surrounded by other creatives pushing and inspiring me. But now that the new year is about to start, it seems like a good time to make new goals to keep the art moving forward.
First goal is to post more in the blog. I'd love to do a post a day but I think it's more realistic to say at least one post a week. The act of writing formulates ideas into words and sparks more ideas.
Second goal is to get the studio clean and organized. It was looking like a bomb went of down there for awhile and the mess wasn't spurring any motivation to work on anything creative. I started some straightening up this weekend but it's gonna need a lot of work and time to get it to a completely functional space. I have too much stuff and not enough places to properly store it.
3rd goal is to work on my website and make a respectable web presence. I need to start getting my name and work out there but my website is well, terrible. I want something clean and simple and easy to update. So I may have to enlist the help of my brother and/or cousin who does web developer type stuff.
The 4th is simply to make more art. I might make myself do a doodle a day just to get things rolling. I also signed up for a class at Fleisher for the winter (i'll write more on that later) so that should be fun.
5th and speaking of Fleisher, I want to work on a proposal for a class that I could teach there. I'm thinking of maybe something with different image transfer processes. Kinda in the realm of printmaking but perhaps alternative printmaking processes like the acrylic photocopy transfers. (more on this too)
I also have some other non-art related goals like eating better and generally being more healthy... and trying to stay organized... and saving (or making more) money...
