Oh me oh my.

Posted in the blog on March 23rd, 2009

Sometimes I feel like Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn have been reincarnated inside my art. The delicate and elegant ways they moved was so interesting. I can’t describe the exact connection to their movement and my illustrations but there is an element that feels inspired by posed movements.


Of course the era they lived in has a whole lot to do with it too.

I have some exciting news to be announced shortly, but I am superstitious about announcing things before they actually happen. But its one of those things that I would really love to happen and I hope that I don’t over-think anything. Hopefully I can articulate clearly and calmly all that I need to say….

I wonder if being in your 20’s is always suppose to feel like a transition. I’m tired of always having the almost theres…
Example:
I work on art every single day…sometimes for hours and hours, but I still don’t have a proper area to work in. I don’t have anywhere to store all of my art except this cardboard binder that I taped together.

I just wonder what I could make if I actually had room and not a kitchen corner. But at least I don’t use these hindrances to stop me from working at all. Someday I will have a proper workspace…when the money comes in. Stupid money.

Oh yeah! My art show was moved to July 3rd now! Seems there was some confusion in people confirming their show, but thats fine with me. More time to make it everything I want it to be!

The show will be called “Amis de Renard” (fox friends) There are a few Folklore fables with a Reynard who was a fox.
Ok,
Bye.

    I think you’re right about your 20’s feeling like one big ole transition, especially if you are an artist. Your work is incredible, seriously. Keep it up! You are so talented so good things will come your way. (And I bet you will have your own work space one day)
