As this semester draws to a close I take a moment to sit back and reflect on things. I find that I've grown a great deal as an artist already, but I also know that I've a great deal more to learn. I've learned how important a strong work ethic is when you make art; if you can't spend a little time each day at the very least just thinking about your next project then you've failed. Forward thinking is integral.
I didn't take as much advantage of this blog's capabilities as I could have and for that I feel some regret. But although over the semester my posts may have been few and far between, I like having a running log of my thoughts as I grow and my work's quality matures. I'll definitely keep and maintain this site for as long as it serves this purpose. And one of these days I'll get a fancy flash site like Vik Muniz--then I'll have really made it!
It's been a turbulent year so far; filled with failure, heartbreak, and melancholy. I'm a survivor, and I survived it just as I knew I would. Perhaps I'm a little bit stronger for it. A little bit colder, a little sharper. I'll take what I've learned about myself and about the world, dust myself off, and keep trying. It's just a scrape after all.
While I may fall, and it'll be flat on my face, I've still got some fight in me!
