I’ve been busy, but that’s not a real excuse as to why this blog/art process hasn’t been updated.
However, it is my excuse.
Not that it’s bad or anything, a lot of good things have been going on.
There are also negatives.
A gallery space I started to frequent recently decided to close down for a bit, and while the people there were cool I’ve realize, in talking to some of the recent graduates or at least trying to investigate where I am compared to the people my age, I’m a bit ahead of my time, with the proper skills to negotiate, but not too much to show for it.
In the past I’ve done some crazy things, but was recently invited to an Alumni dinner for an organization I used to work with. Which was cool, and I quickly accepted, only to check my events later, to schedule that date off of work, and realize that the event was gone. I was either blocked from it, or the event was taken down. What I should be doing is calling my old supervisor to figure out more about this, but remember that line about crazy things? I did, one day, show up KIND OF unexpected wearing all black with a fresh haircut, and dropped off a letter rolled up like it was a scroll.
Shit happens, we’re moving on.
And speaking of that I’ve been cutting people off. I mean, it’s not a bad thing or anything like that but it’s high time to be like “Oh hey Daniel, yeah, everyone can’t be your friend.” And as I reflected on the year and my activities, who I interacted with, what I was doing to myself and what I was allowing to happen to me, and I can see why I fell off the deep end as rapidly as I did.
I am however, on the right track to recovery, via holistic healing, and deeper understanding of the self. Myself, to be specific.
Anyway, back to moving forward, a few smaller groups I’m a part of are now taking much bigger steps to make merchandise and create a culture that will hopefully have a large impact on our surrounding areas, effectively, and literally, changing a bit of the world, one person at a time.
As monumental as those words sound when read without stuttering, or dislexia, it’s really a fairly simple process once all the tools are in place, and the right strategies are taken and put into effect.
Timing, Location, and better communication are all we really have to work on. The job of a manager, a middle man, i.e. my job, but right now, I’m trying to finish up all the entrees before I get to the main course.
Sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach, know what I mean Jellybean?
Ya’might not. gof*ckyourself.
Just Kidding… or am I?
As soon as I’m done coloring this sketchbook from 2010-2011 you’ll see that and more new work.
