How does the summer get more crazy then school year? Whew, well it is good to be back on the blog, I hope all of your summers are going well, all the internships, the job hunts, the endless search for meaning!
I would love to give you a word for word description on all the fabulous art I've been making, but let's be honest... it has sadly gotten pushed to the side. It is painful for me to say it, but for those of you in the same boat-- feel no shame! That can happen in school. The rush of the deadlines and crits inevitably ends with a burned out artist. However, what I like to focus on is that creating and thinking are intertwined in every aspect of life.
Maybe my art is taking the form of a conversation, an outfit, sidewalk chalk drawings, or painting my butt wiped-haggard-transportation-device I like to call a car. It is everywhere my friends, it is in our blood. No matter what form you are taking at this point in your life-year-summer-day-hour you are carrying your perspective with you. Your life-lense does not just disappear. But that being said,
do something with it.
Take notes.
Write.
Tag a Do Not Enter Sign (but don't vandalize, it is against the law you know)
Read a book.
Watch people.
Watch yourself.
And then you take it all in, you carry it around and let it grow on you, this changing that we will always be going through. Look and see how you change.
Then show someone, not "reality", everyone knows that is a lie. Show us your own version of truth, because that is what I want to see, be genuine, the world will know. Or at least someone will.
Yours Always,
xoxo
Charlie
