well HELLO my dear friends , unbelievable that it is now march and i am writing my first artblog for the year. the year has started rather wobbly and rockily, i started a full-time occupation, then the household got “the covy,” we have been renovating rooms in our home since before christmas and now this week we found termites in camellia studio :(
so on the bright side i went to a cool music festival last weekend just out of brisvegas, “springloaded”, with some dear ole mates from queensland, it was an excellent fun, cruisy, cool frivolity type of weekend. even appreciating bands like frenzel rhomb (which i naturally would not take to), their stage presence was electric and so theatrical and heavy to your soul. the fauves of course gave so much as always and regurgitator, well what can i say you hipster poleyester girls?
about my art side of things i have been really appreciating and getting into my typography, style guides, logos of the graphic designers and digital art, so as i said last year i am renovating, you will notice the website is now a fresh colour of natural green, (it was pink before) i am thinking about our natural world and trying to encompass a green attitude both aesthetically and humanistically to my life…
i was especially inspired over the weekend by regurgitatiors’ graphics, a circle of creative coolness behind the drummer at the music festival. think they were their video clips from a few years back, but man they were so choice and the implementation/drawing was spot on. this encouraged me to move forward with my digital explorations… i did visit a bit of digital art last year with fleur de rouge, so who knows what’s around the corner in all this coolness of the life…haven’t lifted my own pen or brush, only to show others… oh the art life is all encompassing…
in january i started bullet journalling, which has been a great thing, it just popped up onto my you tube because i watch alot of art related content, and now I use it as an organisational tool for my art life, to be able to reflect on experiences (even a film you may watch on netflix,) is so important for ones growth as an artist, i am appreciating my life so much of late with all the sadness around, it makes you accept the mundane of the day to day living and knowing of what is, i’m not trying to sound all cliche’ but the world is having a difficult period, and i am looking forward to brighter days,
thanks for reading my waffle,
have a great week, i am back, woo hoo
here’s to 2022, go us!
