Because I am an artist I can find hidden meanings in everything that didn’t come out like I intended. – Michael Lipsey

It’s hard to believe that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ debut album was released nearly 9 years ago (in April 2003). Although it’s a remarkably solid debut from start to finish, “Maps” is a notable standout demonstrating a strong (and relatively surprising) emotional foundation compared to the tracks which make up much of the rest of Continue...

EDIT - if you've entered my blog at this post, you need to know that I started blogging again on July 9th...click on that date or "Newer Post" at the bottom of the page and read why I couldn't stop after all! I have been blogging for almost 4 years now and have decided it's time for me to stop. It's not a sudden decision for me. You might remember that in February I blogged about Trying to get to where I want to be. From that post :: BEFORE YOU PLOP DOWN IN FRONT OF THE TV OR COMPUTER - GO TO YOUR {PLACE WHERE YOU STORE YOUR CREATIVE STUFF} AND REMIND YOURSELF WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO BE DOING This is a pretty wordy post, considering I could have just posted my first sentence, but I've loved blogging so much, I might have to come back and remind myself why I've stopped! I spend a lot of time creating my blog (taking photographs of my creative steps, cropping them, composing the post, loading the photos, editing, adding labels, linking to other posts) – that’s all time I feel I'll be happier spending just creating. Often I finish a smaller project to be able to get a blog post done instead of working on a larger project where my heart really is. I know that’s not what I have to do, and others don't work like that, but it’s what I've felt I needed to do to keep my blog interesting. Given the above, at times it can be disappointing to create a post and then get no comments – I didn't start the blog to get an award or 20 comments a day, but it is nice to know when someone has called by and liked what they saw. Sometimes it's hard to blog when you don't think anyone is interested. I've moved on from feeling disappointed about no comments. Stats show that people visit regularly. When I get comments they do give me a buzz, but they are not the reason I blog. When I started, my reasons for blogging included I want to have a diary of my art experiments/projects; a visual record of what I am watching, reading, seeing, thinking. My daily calendar journaling practice will now take care of that need. I've met lots of lovely people in blogland, and I will still call in occasionally and catch up on what you're doing at your online place. And I find it both nice, and ironic, that what I shared in my second blog post back in July 2010 Note to Self is now a really good place for me to finish ::
In this post, I want to share how an abundance mindset changed my business, and how you can see success in your art business by shifting from a starving artist mentality to a mindset of abundance! In business, we’re often told that success comes from hustle. There’s no denying that hard work is nece

There’s no way I could deliver a better quote when my competitors are only the most intelligent, world-renowned artists whose works hang on the walls of the most famous museums and galleries all over the world. Although art can sometimes seem like a purely decorative thing, there’s always a hidden meaning or an emotion lurking under the facade. And, of course, to create such a thought and emotion-evoking work of art, one should definitely have some pretty deep sulcus in their brain or an enviable ability to tap right into the subconscious. Sounds intriguing? Well then, why not check out what artists had to say about their creations in these art quotes? Surely, these are only the documented cases because we do not doubt that some of these virtuosos always spoke in cryptic riddles and smart euphemisms that just haven’t been written down by anybody.
