I muse over this connection between art and emotion. Art makes us feel, but it can also embody how we (as artists) feel. Sometimes this can represent a long standing emotional response, other times it can be just a stolen moment. The video aboves shows this painting being created in real time. Ordinarily I am not this fluid. Ordinarily I obsess over every little detail. But I was so caught up in how I was feeling that I acted very differently. It was oddly empowering.

Following my recent experiments with pen sketches, comes this image. It is a combination of pen and paper and digital tweaking with a graphics tablet. A very simple image but one I enjoyed creating.

This dashing young man is a friend of mine, Blake. I think it’s a good likeness, though perhaps not a great one.

So in short art is whatever the artist says it is, if not dealt with it is likely cause considerable harm to the artist and it is, by it’s very nature, annoying. You know this definition really works for me…
