You'll need 2 years of cleansing after school.
Make a box in your heart of everything you love and need.
Live in the life of the eye, gathering everything for yourself through your vision.
Know yourself and be confident in your work before grad school so they can never mess with you.
Art is a life lived with a second lover.
Essentials: being cleansed from undergrad, a studio, working hard, finding confidence and optimism.

Become the maker, the lover, the keeper.
I'm only a few weeks into my post art school life and I'm fumbling. I know this is natural and it isn't freaking me out. I do feel like I should try to stay motivated, and after watching Julie & Julia last night, I think it might be time to start a more public log of my thoughts. I've been toying with the idea for some time now, and I think this will be a good space to post the things that don't belong in my 'yet to be created artist website', the things that I am still proud of and would like to share. This won't be a full version of the sketchbooks I carry around and write in, and I have no desire to post diary entries of my life. I will include some ideas and lists because I have always loved the idea of archiving and have yet to figure out a way to properly organize all the things floating in my head.
Dear world as known through the internet,
I will try my hardest to post at least one side project, series of drawings or other materials that belong in my heart box once a week. When life has other plans for me and I am stuck in a rut or otherwise lacking in craftiness then I will post ideas, quotes or musings about music, books, experiences and travel that affect the way I think about art and life. When this is the case I am to post a couple of these during a week. This will be a challenge, but I have always been a feisty competitive little monster, and without the setting of school studios I will need this to stay motivated. So world, I give you permission to get on my case if I'm not producing. The attitude I want to cultivate for myself is this: "I had an incredibly wonderful week. When I wasn't making things no one wanted..."
