To quote My American Heart, "lately I've been tired and uninspired, lately I've been tired, oh-so tired." I can't really get enough sleep and I'm always on the verge of drifting off into another nap. I'm also searching for that next source of creative drive and inspiration, and hope life will move from its standstill. However, on Sunday we're hopefully taking a trip to see art galleries in Waukesha or the Milwaukee Art Museum. Just getting out of Pewaukee for a while for something other than swimming seems revitalizing.

Just been looking through flickr for some inspiration. Above are links to some of the interesting ones I found. For whatever reason, you can't just get the image's url...

Also, this is the coolest thing ever. haha

Right now, pastels are more or less my escape from my throbbing arms and growing tiredness from swim season... blending is so calming.


I've also spent time between practices looking at different film cameras i could use to spice up my portfolio. I'm likin' the Holga 120CFN. Cheap, with some pretty cool effects. and colorflashes.

cute.

I recently read part of this anthology of dream interpretation and dream psychology information. Dreams are a manifestation of our subconscious mind that focus around certain unresolved conflict we have in our lives, and the moods that are set concerning our dream characters and settings are important in their interpretation. As I tried to think about this within the context of my own dreams, I realized the fuziness that I actually have regarding them. The visual effects, senses used, and clarity all differ. Creating pieces which convey the moods and themes within dreams could be a possibility to create some interesting art...

I realize I haven't been keeping up with my blog very well at all... But here I go again after an almost two month lapse in posts.
For the past few days I've mostly just been trying to get back my ability to render realistically. I've been drawing simple objects from around my house, attempting to create their full depth through shadows and shading. Yeah. I guess I'm not particularly conceptually inspired at the moment.
