That Old Sloth Re-set

Sometimes I can be a right old sloth! Yep, one of the deadly sins, meaning 'without care'.

Where Have I Been?

Indeed, where have I been? I am still here, but not in the world of creativity. My focus has been elsewhere. The sun has been shining. It has been stupidly hot and we in the UK are just not accustomed to it, and frankly I haven't wanted to be sat in front of the PC working on business things. Posting on Facebook and Instagram have been quite far from my mind. I need to learn Pinterest. Everyone tells me I have to be on Pinterest, being an artist and all that.. but the thought of learning yet another social media site fills me with slothery (is that even a word? It is now). You see, posting daily, or even every other day requires creativity. Should be easy for me you would think.. but sometimes I like to not have to think. I also like to be fresh in my approach with posting and sometimes I get the feeling I am repeating myself.. regurgitating.. being un-creative. And, I don't want to bore you. So, I disappear... and you miss me, right?

Anyway, today I (we) sat in a park. Under a tree. Talking aliens. Did we land on the moon? Books. Films (last one I watched was District 9. Brilliant). Seeing shapes/animals in the clouds. Random questions like why are dark clouds always below light clouds? I know the answer, just wanted to ask it (I have a very random brain). Is that a Fern tree, and do Fern trees actually exist? Google to the rescue!

It was a day of simple mindless but questioning chat. My kind of day. It was bliss.. then we talked about how we needed to re-set with Urban Fraggle. How our lack of motivation had set in..

I'm writing an article about my spiritual experiences.. If I was to get published it would earn me some money.. I've stalled.. but, the very fact I am writing this blog is, at least for today, a sign of re-setting and getting things done. I know my flaws. I used to chastise myself for my flaws. But now I don't. My spiritual path knows where I should be. That doesn't mean action should not be taken. But forcing something that isn't coming natural isn't the path you are meant to be on.

My Belief System

Don't get me wrong here.. I do believe my work is something special. As all artists do. We SHOULD believe our work is special. My work is an extension of who I am (click here to read the philosophy). My art sells, but getting eyeballs on it is one of the most challenging aspects of this journey I (we) are on. So, a different direction is being taken, hence why the change of website design. Finally, I feel I am happy with the look of the site, the feel of the site, and the story behind my work. Because, I am much deeper in my mind than many know.. and.. as with all art.. it is up to you, the viewer to interpret however you wish, but it's up to me, the artist to create what my mind allows, feels and believes.

Reflective. Feeling Zen. Feeling peace. Feeling free. Feeling me 💙
