Above it all

On my way going home yesterday, I was in evening traffic. I had time to think about what strategies I would use for create my paintings and art work. I decide that I will be create painting, drawing and even some mixed minimal work. My main focus is to designing images that will capture the emotions of the people that are experiencing the situation. The artwork has to show the pain of the Congolese people and the raped natural resources from their land. It tragic to see beautiful people that have very little medical supplies and the common necessity are minimal.

Payment For an Artistic Vision

Today it is snowing.There is more white fluff floating from the sky. I am in a pensive state about the art supplies that I have to purchase. I am going to Jerry Art-A-Rama this weekend to purchase supplies. At this stage in my creative process I will have to decide where this money will come from for my art supplies. Hopefully I can purchase these supplies by this weekend. But again I have to figure out where I going to get this money from.

The Coldest Winter Next to Ever.

These past couple of days that we have had off has been a bitter sweet moment. I don't know if it was a good or bad thing that I was enjoying this little winter break. It was a combination of happiness and cabin fever that got the best of me. This whole break I have been catching up on school work, errands and some artist ideas. It game time tomorrow. I cannot wait to see my student's bright smiling faces. I'm having moments were I am thinking to myself that I could be doing more with my day. Although on the other hand I am still thinking of adding more things to my artwork to make it appealing to the viewer's eye. The creative mind is constantly working and change directions at a constantly notice. The process is  beautiful thing, but again it is cloud by these cold and icy days. Its almost like look at a blank canvas with a brush, tube of paint or even a pencil in sight.

Purchase Supplies

Right now i am just thinking to my self where in the world will I get the money from these paintings. So I am trying to come up with these rational ideas to create some type of innovative idea to make money and then use that money to create for more supplies for my artwork. It is a slow and steady challenge. I was able to make a purchase of about 97.00 from Utrech/ Blick yesterday. So now I am trying to create a series of works to have auction off to create more funds for my supplies. This is a hard road but I will make it happen. Fingers crossed.

Today was a Inky Jack Moment

This morning I work thinking about what I am going to do. I am super pumped about the day. I reached over and grabbed my phone to listen to my song. I played Inky Jack. Red for Days. This group speaks out to me. Very soulful and revolutionary. This group is a member of a music genre, Afro Punk. Amazing group.

Artsitic Inspiration in Georgetown, D.C.

Yesterday was a great day for me. I was wondering what things should I do today to make my day useful and productive. So as I sat there in my bed wondering what to do, what to do,...Bling . I decided to go out to the upscale area of Washington, D.C. I decided to go with some friends and do a little window shopping. I'm always trying to find new things for inspiration for my artwork. Its amazing how their people of all different shapes, sizes and complexions. There were people stumbling out of bars, homeless people shaking their cups, loud people and families walked together. I noticed all the aged buildings. So this is  my new gem that I took away from Georgetown. Oh, yeah and the fact that Doc Marten has boots that has a lifetime warranty on them. lol

The Beginning of Now

Today is the first day that I have created my blog. I am actually excited about the journey that I'm able to capture, but in written form. I have just encourage my students to use this method also to painted their personal experiences so that people can gain a better understanding of them, their life and their journey in life. I think the funny part of all of this is that the will see me in another light. Although I don't mind the fact that they will see acting normal, artistically and in my true light. So I am pumped,.. LET THE SHOW Begin!
