Action...one of the hardest steps in creating change in your life, your art, your home...anything! Sometimes you just have to shut the F*** up and do it. No one is going to do it for you and you shouldn't expect anyone to. This is a hard lesson to learn in today's instant gratification culture where we all grew up thinking it was so much easier that it really turned out to be. We are working on this one here at the studio...and it's a doozy.
I believe that we all have talents to share...creative elements to our souls that we work out in many different ways. Sometimes we stamp down these urges and don't take the time to let ideas and thoughts to take hold into activities. We are both creative individuals who have let the art in our lives dwindle for many reasons. We promised each other that we would make an effort to do better...to Create!
All Creative endeavors start from a small flame of an idea that grows in to a dream of what could be. Lofty life goals are the same way. We must first give ourselves a direction to travel, a dream to follow to reach the milestones along the way. So many have said 'give yourself the permission to dream'...this will light a fire to create and that leads to action.
See how I did that??
I love my Samurai...and I love learning from him. My hope is that a little of me rubs off on him too! I honestly believe that with open minds and open hearts he and I will be able to bring the creative nature out again and have a lot of fun doing it. :)
cheesy? yeah...so what!
Samurai is an artist extraordinaire. He will shake his head angrily at me when he reads that...but he really is. His passion is comics. Check him out on ImmortalGothic with his webcomic Cracked Masks. He is teaching me and I appreciate learning from a very knowledgeable source...
although my real passion is cooking I think...but that is for another blog.
