Busy life! I've been meaning to write in this blog for some time now, but it's one of those things that always gets overlooked. I think it's important to have some sort of marker on my artistic progress for each week, so I can look back and get a sense of my accomplishments. Here was a huge one. This mural represents a very significant chunk in my portfolio...I was most particularly proud of the fact that I handled business very professionally & completed the project precisely under the perimeters that I had designated for it. I was also able to involve a friend & pay him, so that was rewarding.
I have so much to do...so many things to accomplish...working on a hip hop CD, this perpetual "beautiful safety" series of paintings...working on getting smaller paintings into businesses....it's all about having a large product base, I'm beginning to realize. Chance favors the well prepared. I'm really just trying create a ton of content that can be dropped into different slots when ever chance arises. Aside from chance, i'm building a couple new websites, specifically to accommodate a mural/decorative painting business and the music I'm putting together.
Aside from all of THIS i'm studying Aftereffects and Final Cut Pro, which are two additional monster projects. In 5 years or so, I'm going to be proficient at so many things that I can just freelance a variety of different jobs and keep things fresh. Planning is crucial though. If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. The key is measuring, keeping a calendar, and allowing for some flex space as well.
Who knows what the future holds...i'm just trying to stay in the present, always satisfied with what I have, checking myself if I find myself miserable because of something I don't have RIGHT NOW. Patience is a virtue. Everything is perfect.
