Wow, I cannot believe that I spent the entire day on this thing. I have met some great and interesting people and have learned the basics of how to do all this. Its amazing though, I couldn't believe I spent the whole day on this. I mean I have a myspace but I only use it to keep in touch with friends so me using it consisted of loggin on, checking and replying to messages then loggin off. This has more interaction and you get to know your friends. In myspace I never added people I didn't know my mentality towards it with different. This site more encourages it which is fun. I just hope I can fit enough time in for this between my social life and school. Anyways I hope I can keep all my new friends entertained, its what I do. =)
Anyways I just wanted to say thanks to the people who added me and who accepted my adds, today and in the future. Hope to get to know you all well. I am especially interested in people from my area who like to smoke, nothing more satisfying in life then meeting new people who I can just kick back and smoke with.
But onto more important issues... I guess. I have been having problems finding inspiration to draw and paint. I think the problem is I am trying to move away from lettering, but the people I hang out with on a day to day basis really only inspire me to letter more. Not that theres anything wrong with that, I'm a huge supporter of the people who are doing it for art and not for bangin. What I think I need to do is try to find some new area's to go to, new people to see and new experiences to undertake. Which is hard since I have lived here my whole life. I mean 3 weeks ago was the first time I had stepped out of this state since I came into it and that was only to Vegas. I'm sure I will figure it out at some point, I just hope its not too far away. I have to have 5 canvases done by the first of April to apply for an art scholarship.
I also think I am way to hard on myself within the art itself. Nothing is every good enough to meet my own standards. I think that is one of the first things an artist has to overcome. To realize that they are and will always be their biggest critic and if they cannot accept themselves and what they are trying to do then they cannot accept what they are trying to create. This is something I need to overcome before I can start to put my mind on paper.
