Reactivate!

Reactivating this Blog after a long absence ... Using it to record my thoughts for current activities and (online) classes I am taking.

:-)

Taking Flight 2

A revised version of Taking Flight.

I'm back! (At least for a few more posts!)

Anim@ngel

This is a representation of my muse.
(She) was the result of a series of introspective visual journals that explored my disconnection with my creative work at an earlier point in my life (3 years ago?).
(More later)

Slice of Time

Just a reminder to myself about time management.
Cut those projects up into bite-sized pieces!!
(draft; still needs a lot of work!)

Mindfulness

A work begins with a thought.
A work begins with a heart
A work grows with our attention.

(Technically this piece was done a few months back in a drawing class, so this is not a new work...)

World Building 101
I drew this in response to assignment 3 for Eric Maisel's Coaching Visual Artists online class.

We were asked to imagine ourselves (artists) as world builders. What kinds of worlds would we build as world builders ...?

The other part of the question was on the issue of desire--and what would we have to do to keep or reignite our passion for a project.

I'm still thinking of my responses, but I wanted to post this drawing up first for inspiration's sake ... The burning of the books represents the alchemical nature of the transformation of knowledge by passion and desire

Enjoy!

Waiting for inspiration ...


Cultivate new thoughts

And let the little ideas grow

maturing in their own time

into full-sized dreams...
