sharing pin hole sketches today along with a post about posts…ah so very meta;)
So…about a year ago I switched things up and rebuilt this website. Like all things, it was a ton more work than I ever imagined.
I hoped that this new format would be easier for me to make blog posts. The good thing is…it is!
The not so good thing is…some people think that since the rise of social media…individual blogs are now obsolete. Apparently, with so much happening online no one has time for something as old-fashioned as blogging. I guess…I’m suddenly old-fashioned…who knew!
Something…I think a lot about is the need to stay close to the creative edge. To keep stretching into unknown places. To find the sweet spots where I’m following a path but not repeating myself. The only way to be there is to experiment and let things be a little messy…a little all over the place.
I want this blog to be a way to share the paintings. I also want to create a place to collect my random creative tangents.
Anyway…I’m thinking that in the coming year I’m going to use this space even more as a place to dip into the stream of consciousness. For the most part, I’ve been holding back because of some notion I have that a blog should be focused on one thing. I hate to say it but better for marketing…and all that blah. blah.
The shifts and upheavals of the pandemic are a catalyst to revamp a thing or two.
I’m not exactly sure what is going to show up here but I’m feeling an unexpected sense of freedom in being suddenly old-fashioned.
Please feel free to dip in here from time to time but going forward I’m not going to send out an email for every post.
I’ll send out a round-up post from time to time if something especially good bubbles up!
