I am an artist. That sounds a little pretentious writing it out like that, but I’m working on being a little less self-conscious about it. Creating art is sort of the main “thing” I do before anything else. I certainly have a lot of other things I enjoy doing, but if I had to pick just one I’d be making art. So I guess, based on that line of reasoning, I’m an artist. Anyway. I was sitting around the other day trying to come up with something to write about for my blog and the thought struck me that even though, as previously established, I’m an artist I rarely (if ever) write anything about art. Thoughts on inspiration, process or technical details, I basically never touch on any of these topics in any of my blog posts, and that is something I’m going to challenge myself to change. Up until this point the only art-related posts on my blog (which is written by an artist. I don’t know if I mentioned that yet?) have been me posting my new artwork when it’s finished, often barely without any comment. That seems to me a little boring in retrospect, and I’ve had a few very nice emails sent to me over the years asking if I could expand further on my workflow and process. So the challenge for myself going forward is to write more art-related posts. From a purely egotistical perspective I think it’ll help me to get better at what I do by spending some time reflecting on the various aspects on my work and everything surrounding it. And, hopefully, some one else will find it interesting too. Exactly what this is all going to look like I haven’t quite figured out yet. As with most things I’ll make it up as I go. If you have any suggestions or things you’d like to know, please feel free to send me an email (link down below this post), and I’ll be more than happy to try and write something about it.
