...its been a while. Since I last posted my wife and I spent a week in Dublin celebrating the various winter solstice holidays with copious amounts of Guinness and Smithwicks, which was in turn followed by about a month of recovery. So I took January off to gather my thoughts and re-orient my outlook on artmaking. Certainly it's something we all do from time to time, but I had a refreshing moment to catch my breath and realize that I have a distinct opportunity to not become a former art student, or let alone a former artist. So I finished my MFA. Was it anti-climatic? Maybe. But that desnt mean its the end of things. There is a great deal of work to made.That being said I guess I didn't really take January off. I didn't make anything outside of some sketchbook doodles and journal entries but the ideation process is deep and mysterious. The wellsprings are creativity are dark and cloudy. The moment of inspiration is... well... man, this sounds lame, listen to me. Alright, lets get to the point.
A large project is in the works. And for those of you who stayed tuned in over the past year you certainly saw it all pay off as the Houses to Homes project and The Distance of the Moon were brought to fruition. So yes, new things are happening. The picture is my new studio, located a mile beneath the surface of Parkville, well equiped for some forth coming works.
