and music.
music first:
I'm loving this girl at the moment.
I have a messy head these days. This helps me sort it a bit. :)
I've been reading so many blogs lately. all nicely written and/or beautiful/pretty or creative. I've seen many many awesome artworks, and read a lot of amazing books. a=And I've been caught in the trap I think many artists become trapped in at one point or another. You know, when you start comparing your work to everyone else's, and with so many amazing artists out there you start thinking "what am I doing?" I need to be better, my art needs to be perfect for it to have validity. And then you start the inevitable artists circle of doubt. A circle that stops creativity and only depresses you...
But I realised today that what is the problem is not my work. It's the way I think about my work. It sounds so obvious when you think about it, but I really didn't see it before. Probably because I was too focused on how my work was "not good enough"... So I'm trying to stop focusing on being good at art, and start focus on becoming better. Simple right? Makes so much sense... Now. :P if I just focus on becoming better with every drawing and every painting. Making every pice I work on not necessarily perfect, but better then the last I think my life will become a lot less stressful.
I'm posting this mainly to remind myself by the way. But I don't think I'm the only person who needs to be reminded sometimes...
