Fear Fear
"Good works of art take a longer time to do." This is such a myth, it's not even funny. Good works of art aren't determined by the length of time you spend on it, but by what you DO end up putting into it, be it after five minutes or five hours of thought. I believe that this is the very reason I tend to procrastinate my art. I take my time because I'm convinced it can't be rushed, and that creativity comes at its own pace. Doing art on the spot makes me cringe. Also, it has an after effect of making me feel that I haven't put in my best and a million other things could have been corrected/revised/eliminated completely. However, I've been proven wrong time and again by amazing artists who don't ponder for hours before painting, and instead work with spur of the moment inspiration. I need to crawl away from my shell of perpetual fear and just...just... do it! Fear of failure doesn't make you fly. It just means you'll never leave the ground.

Can we stop pretending that the world is never ending?
 Would it be weird for me to admit that I admire her body as well as her style? Pretty edgy and she carries off the pixie cut with such confidence. I can still imagine her in maybe...a polka-dotted sundress, an evening gown, a trenchcoat. So very versatile ♥ Found on Trading pictures for 1000 words.  It could be us someday. ♥ Oh yes, I came across an amazing website yesterday, it's called Newspaper Blackout. Basically, Newspaper + Marker = Poetry. Take a gander, you won't be disappointed. :)  On a side note, I'll be listing what I borrow from my college library in this blog, just so I can keep track. It's like a land of rare and precious art books. >.< I still can't believe they let us take them home. For this week: The Age of Feminine Drawing  It's very pretty, delicate, and colourful. I'm very much attracted to fashion illustration so this book is just a happy place to be. It's so coy and elegant and very, very girlish. Illustration by Makiko Sugawa Fantastic Folders and Exceptional Envelopes  Mmm, I picked this up as some side research for a class assignment due this Thursday. It's interesting but wasn't really what I needed. I still can't figure out how to get the library's digital library to work so finding books have just been potluck and chance.

This Is Where The Heart Lies?
When I look at good art now, I am no longer happy. I'm still in awe, and there might be admiration, but there is no joy in it and I will tell you why. The difference between appreciating art before I came to my art school and now is akin to eating good food...but at the same time, you're listing out all the ingredients in your head, how it's cooked and with what utensils. In the process, you can't really enjoy the taste of it anymore. There's so much competition, criticism, tension, an amalgamation of negativity. Also, the standards have been raised. The more good work you see, the more it takes to be impressed by the next one. I suppose that's why art lecturers seem jaded, in a way. They have probably seen it all. I know creativity is limitless and unpredictable, but art students are, after all, beginners in this field and will mostly make the same mistakes, hence creating similar art. Competency in art contributes as well. If you feel your art isn't good (and this is a constant inner conflict for me), it will amplify the uneasiness when confronted with better art by better artists. This is like having to eat your own cooking because you have no other alternatives and every bite is as ash to your mouth. But if you don't eat it, you will starve because looking at other people's tasty food won't make you full, just hungrier. I'm not saying this isn't a good thing. I'm sure it's a good method of encouragement to improve yourself but constant comparison and judgment can really bring my mood down. After all, you are your worst critic. I just don't know how to react more positively because so much time, effort and emotion is invested in my art, I want to at least like what I see on the paper/board/canvas. I could be perfectly happy with my art one minute, see something better the next and there it goes, I feel like utter cr*p. When will I feel happy again? Or have I chosen the wrong field? Sigh.

Brace Yourself
Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason…. Poetry is sane because it floats easily in an infinite sea; reason seeks to cross the infinite sea, and so make it finite. The result is mental exhaustion…. To accept everything is an exercise, to understand everything a strain. The poet only desires exaltation and expansion, a world to stretch himself in. The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits.G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy ♥♥♥  But, do I know enough of either to tell the difference?

I'm Not Paralysed,But I Seem To Be Struck By You.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels it finds darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. - Reaper Man, Terry Pratchett Labels: Literature Me Hearties, Quotes |
