Hibernation
Yet again I have been swamped in the preparations for submissions, writing essays, trying to find inspiration and all the usual day to day activities of an artist. I also had the good luck to fall recently so I have been undergoing a lot of recovery and work to try and claw my way back to where I should be.
Fall seems to be a period of hibernation for me. the changing seasons and fickle weather give me more problems with pain than usual and I find that I seem to slow down. Inspiration is less frequent, I’m more susceptible to colds and to my occasional whybotheritis. I am trying to push through as best I can, I’m still working on some pretty cool submissions and I am trying to not let my whybotheritis make me miss any opportunities. I tend to let myself down at times like this and I am determined not to. unfortunately my blog has yet again been thrown to the wolves of apathy. sometimes something has to go and this time it’s my blog. if it helps I’m not twittering or doing much socially with anything. this period of hibernation always seems to apply most to my social activities, online and off.
I am still planning on completing my assignments for 31DBBB and I will probably post some of my submission responses because they are kinda cool.

I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
wondering what to do with your economic stimulus package? – Stimulate an artist!
every day we are faced with new information about the slowing economy, belt tightening news and now, the economic stimulus packages. these bonus’ are given out to taxpayers so that they can be put back into our consumer driven economy and help keep it afloat. the problem with that is that usually the money goes straight to a heartless corporation to buy a meaningless valueless product. will it make us happier? probably not.
and what if you don’t agree with the government’s stance on numerous issues? the cleanfeed? censoring artists? why not take their money and use it to buy yourself a lasting treasure, an investment and help out people in need all at the same time? and why not send a message while you’re at it?
Use your Rudd dollars to buy nude art!
feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that you’ve helped out an artist (many of whom live below the poverty line), and if you live in australia you can feel happy knowing that you are using your money to help out an artist who will not be getting any help from their government because of their subject matter.

8 reasons why making art is like making love
It has been occurring to me lately that there are many correlations between two of my favorite activities. and because I am going to try to write down the thoughts that come to me, instead of screening them based on some introverted fear I have decided to write this list. It’s been churning around in my brain for a while and was finally kicked out of there and onto my blog by Problogger’s 31DBBB project.
- The more you do, the more you want to do
- Thoughts about doing it invade your mind all the time, distracting you from your every day activities
- Gunk gets in places you wouldn’t believe
- You get really grumpy when interrupted
- If it isn’t going well you feel frustrated, inept and close to tears
- If it is going well you feel like a treat such as cigarette or a drink afterwards
- It provides a natural high
- There is a big sense of release at the end of a productive session
