Happy Creative New Year of 2013!
I was going to post yesterday but I was in a weird melancholy mood and whatever I seemed to do was not turning out right. Except the pizza I had made for dinner. That actually turned out. I don’t know why I was so down on myself yesterday. I know we all hit those moments from time to time. I usually pout for a few days and then for some reason get back on the horse and kick some butt.
Despite my melancholy moodiness, which doesn’t help me be the artist I am; unlike the misconception of what makes all artists create art, I am exceptionally optimistic for this year. I feel that because this year, and hopefully beyond, I can dedicate myself to art and creativity. My possibilities are endless, my options are limitless and I am in control of how far and where I put myself and my art out there, art even meaning my photography.
I have been in college for a long time or life events happened to where I was not focusing on my art. Even though I went to a dedicated art college there was still some direction and limitation to what I had to create and do at certain times. Which was great, it taught me skills and concepts I needed to learn.
The year 2013 will be the year of creativity for me. I hope not to be side tracked or mislead this year. That it will be 365 of creativity.
I am not saying I am not hoping for opportunities to get commissioned work or even work for a company. If I do, that will be a part of my year of creativity. In fact, that is my goal. However, right now I have the time to just develop my skills. I can spend time daily getting better and learning new things. Every day I have the possibility of creating something whether that be photography, painting, digital work, graphic design, writing, music or whatever my creative heart desires.
