These are the songs I picked for January.

I do what I want. No Apologies.
When I was working three jobs and going to school I never had the time to create for me. I was more focused in making as much money as I could and having a degree in my hand. And like most things I feel I need I never get. Luck would have it, I was able to work two jobs allowing me to make up the time I was out of work for two and half months. And a few months down the road Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth would call about working in their shop. I knew when I was hired on for the part time evening job it was under contract and it would at the most last 18 months. So what the heck 3 jobs and school make the most of what I got while I have it. I found the spare time that I had I never utilized to focus on trying to earn money from my passion. I really intended to before the contract job ended, create more so that I would have fresh work available to sale online. However working for solid 7 days a week and spending most of my free time devoted to school, whatever free time that I had I didn't really use to focus on my art, but to rest. Maybe I could have pushed through and tried harder (if you really want it bad enough you find away right) I would have had a jump on things. I can't dwell on how I could have handled the past, but to move on and to utilize the present.
Now through my spare time and my only two very part time jobs, I'm slowly making my passion my main focus. And in doing so I realize that I get to create for me now. Which is so much more of an accomplished feeling when I finish a piece. It is uncompromised work done by me. And yes when I was in school I did get to create all the time, but perimeters where set, I was told what worked and wouldn't work and that it should look this way and that didn't make sense. Now I make whatever I want, how I want it, and it works cause I say so, it's my vision and what I have to say. And that is what has made painting and photography more exhilarating to me. I do hope some where down the line I get to do custom work. I would really like the challenge and the growth I would get. But for now it's all me. And I will embrace it and enjoy it while I can.

Insight
This is a piece among a series I started for a Saatchi Showdown. I had friend curious about it and kind of did a quick summary of it and my process and I thought what a great thing to share on my yet again revamped blog. Don't worry I'll still showcase other artist that I enjoy and influence me but include some things I'm working on which are also available for purchase.
This piece is a collage, one of my favorite ways mediums to use when creating new work. One of the reasons is it's a much quicker process for me than painting and definitely knitting. Photography is probably the most immediate medium that I work faster in than collaging. Collage lets me play around ideas so much freer. I tend to over think things in other mediums, limiting my ideas and creativity a bit. However, with collaging it feel much more informal that it's more like play and I tend to just go at it and not think much about what I'm doing. If it goes wrong I can just tear it off or cover it up, it's only glue.
With this piece and the others I have and probably in general, never have an idea or theme in hand. It's more about finding a piece here and another there and putting them together like a puzzle. Once I see it coming together I can see what my subconcious is developing. I tend to work with female faces and fashion. There is just, for me, more verstality with the female body than the male body. So once I got to a point where I could figure out what the four pieces were developing into I realized they become more about female archetypes in story and history. This one is the amazion female and the other is sleeping beauty and I'm still trying to see what the other two piecs are becoming. I'm not done with this piece so I will update this blog when I'm done and share the others once they're done too.
Have any questions are things you want to discuss, leave a comment, all comments are welcome.

Sorry It's Been Awhile
I've have neglected my blogger duties for awhile. But I'm back and catching up. This installment won't have any Corita Kent don't fret there still is more of her to come, but I'm going to talk a moment about what has been happening locally in music and art for me. So grab some tea and a english muffin and have a bit of a look.
Want to give some love to my friend Grant for his poster of The Burning Hotels for their Modern Til Midnight show.
I'm glad that The Burning Hotels was there for Modern Til Midnight and I'm glad that the Fort Worth Modern Museum invited them. If they have cool bands like this, I might be a regular. I also need to get my hands on a poster to add to my wall collection. To learn more about Modern Til Midnight and when is the next one visit the Fort Worth Museum's website themodern.org.

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming
morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.
Joan Baez
Would it embarrass you very much
if I were to tell you. . . that I love you?
Lord Buckley
You-- special, miraculous, unrepeatable,
fragile, fearful, tender, lost,
sparkling ruby emerald jewel, rainbow splendor person.
It's up to you.
Joan Baez
Jesus, gold and silver -- standing naked in roomful
of modern men. What nerve. Jesus, gold and silver --
you have no boots on, and you have no helmet of gun--
no briefcase. Powerful Jesus gold and silver with
young, thousand-year-old eyes. You look around
and you know you must have failed somewhere.
Because here we are, waiting on the eve of destruction
with all the odds against any of us living
to see the sun rise on one day soon.
You, Dear Reader -- You are Amazing Grace.
You are a Precious Jewel.
Joan Baez

But The Circus
....letters of the alpabet frighten me terribly.
They are sly, shameless demons -- and dangerous! You open the inkwell, release them:
They run off-- and how will you ever get control of them again! They come to life, join,
separate, ignore your commands, arrange themselves
as they like on the paper-- black, with tails and horns.
You scream at them and implore them in vain:
they do as they please. Prancing, pairing up shamelessly
before you, they deceitfully oppose what you did not wish
to reveal, and they refuse to give voice to what is struggling,
deep within your bowels,
to come forth and speak to mankind.
Nikos Kazantzakis
His costume was human frailty, human helplessness,
and his lot was the human lot
of one disaster after another, His comedy was misfortune
and his endearing grace the patience and dignity
with which he survived an existence
of interlinked catastrophes
Winston Brebner

A Month of Corita Kent
For This month I'm featuring Corita Kent's book "Damn Everything But The Circus". While roaming the aisle of the fort worth central library(yes the library is one of my visited places) I came upon this book. Amazed that it was a female artist and digged the typography it seemed so vintage yet modern for today. I thought I would share the whole book with you. I hope no ones comes after me for copyright infringement. I'm a fan sharing her work, for others who might miss out on this little gem and most of it will be cropped out because of my average size scanner. I hope you enjoy.
When ancestral kings corrupted their captains,
and the church blessed both captains and kings,
the court jester got laughs simply by sniffing
the troubled air : implying that the stink in the herring
begins in its head.
In times like our own, it isn't surprising
to find men and women crowding the night-clubs
in hope of seeing somebody sniff the air.
In such times, clowns become witnesses.
Nelson Algren

Soaring Voices-- The Crow Collection
If you live in the DFW area or you are going to be in Dallas between now and May 8th. Stop by the Crow Collection of Asian Art. They have this wonderful exhibit of Asian Ceramic art done by the women of Japan. The exhibit is called Soaring Voices.It's very amazing they really pushed the boundaries of clay. I really want to eventually get back into ceramics and these works really put fuel to the fire.
