We're here at Burningtree, up at all hours pondering and playing. Starting on Day 2 of the 365 Day project for Artist Trading Cards, I painted some beautiful Owlets for a swap I am in. Day one, I made Green Ball of String for a personal trade. That just explains the pictures. The real point is what's behind. This our business of creativity, invention, and creation. Smack in the middle of one Crazy life. We live to do art, and try to live by doing art. I can't stop myself I see it everywhere. In everything. I have a box Full of animals I made out of plastic silverware that were too cool to trash. I would love to make them out of metal in the future. My Beautiful silverware menagerie. I am working in pen and ink right now. Focus on Pointillism I seem to have a knack for it. Gordon, my cohort is trying it as well. This is all about learning. Everything is about learning really if I am not learning something, whats the point? I recently found Artist Trading Cards by complete accident, and I felt it was an avenue I was meant to travel. I have been at it non stop ever since, I am getting absurd amounts of joy out of such small things. At the same time I am learning and practicing better than I have in years. I have been an artist my whole life. My parents are both artists, so I came into this honestly so to speak. It's what I do with it that differs, I want people to see my art, to enjoy it as I enjoy the art of others. I want to give a smile, or some deep thought to someone on a day they really need it, without ever knowing about it. Even if I am handing my art away I know it is being loved and shared somewhere. I want to ask tough questions. The ones that people don't even know are hard until they really stop to think about it. I want to rant and talk, communicate and educate, explore and expound, most of all be honest.
