things i forget

A painting can look like a painting, have brush strokes, be obviously
painted, have imperfections and intricacies built up, be involved.
A photograph is catching light on a frame, on a film, not a digital
representation of light on a film. Using digital spoils you to a point,
the constraints of film is a good form of pressure to get it right in
the frames allocated.
Drawings are made up from marks on a surface.
Notebooks are great for retaining ideas, roughs and plans.
Making work is a habit, and an addiction. the ability to create
something out of and idea and bring it out of my head and into a form is exciting... and I have to do it more.

Approaching 30, I'm realising there are still so many things I want to
do and make and be a part of: I would like to start a company that
creates imagery for the music industry for one, make large scale works,
make clothes another...

I guess it's all about momentum. There's a Sylvia Plath analogy that
plagues me: so many fruit on the tree, so much to choose from. Your
worried about which one to pick, there's so many beautiful ones you
don't want to make the wrong decision, by the time you decide, they've
rotted and fallen from the tree... and you're [ed. thanks jane] left with nothing.

I don't want to be that.

I am scared of dentists. This thing is so weird though... the fake patient.

I drew this on a hot day with a fountain pen, used my thumb smudge it in the heat...
I'm doing my first oil painting... it's hard trying to remember all the colour rules on top of learning a new medium...
I'm starting a book of collected images I like for things to look at, Audrey Kawasaki has inspired me to do so, I wrote her a few months ago and she wrote me back... I was having a whine about not working on stuff, she told me of a similar predicament she was in once... her advice has helped alot, I'm working again...

I really like the texture and the colours... it's wet, transparent and solid at the same time, stark and clean but dirty. I'm really getting into it...I'm getting a bit obsessed with Laika, the space dog... I saw someone had done a painting of her in a shop, really hap-hazard painting technically but I'm in love with it.

I'm preparing for a show in february. I've done a few marquets of what I'm planning to do, now for the real deal. I'm kinda nervous. I think I need to visit the art store...
