Sore Arm Part Two: The Sorening. Struggling not to make an incomprehensible Star Trek joke here.10/30/2009 Yet again, my arm is killing me! But this time, it's from a delightful evening of bowling. Regular bowling balls are a lot heavier than those of the candlepin variety! Magically, I've spent a month doing nothing worthy of my art blog! Well, to be fair, I've been wrestling with many real-life problems, the outcome of these internal struggles being that it seems I'm moving to Portland in a month or so. It's not exactly the East Coast destination I had hoped for, but at least it shares a name with an East Coast city. Oh, I jest. I hear that Portland has a young art scene rivaled only by its meth scene, not to mention buckets of rain! Strange to be sick of sunlight. Well, I'm never sick of sunlight. I'm sick of static weather. Portland may not be the best solution to that problem, but for a while it'll do! On the art front, I've been working on several things, but nothing has reached the finished stage. A few things are coming close, and the prospect of updating my website is a delightful motivator! How depressing. I really want to start doing some more paper art. I've been looking at a lot of drawings I admire, and I'm able to loosen up with charcoal in a way I can't with other mediums. A lot of my ideas I feel don't need an entire painting devoted to them, especially the themed "sets" I keep thinking of. Painting out all these ideas simply takes too much time. I think drawing/mixed media would be a good compromise. And there's almost nothing I love more than making a huge charcoal mess! By this time next month I'll be firmly on the path to the next stage of my life. I fully expect to have a mazillion more things to upload here!
