"As a painter today you have to work without that essential platform. But if one does not deceive oneself and accepts this lack of certainty, other things may come into play"

Blind Contour Drawing? …Yeesh!

Livestream replay

There's a reason why I hated these exercises in school. The results are nightmarishly wretched. That said, I still managed to take away something that encouraged me to try again, and even weave it into my artistic practice.

But I spend the first 25 minutes searching Procreate for the option to turn off QuickShape, so I can hold my stylus on the screen for as long as I'd like. Adding time codes so you can skip ahead.

00:37:07 - 2nd attempt (QuickShape off)

We all have to grow up sooner or later. Some of us will live out our dreams, finding success with their artistic passions. While others are doomed to become what they always feared to be, ushering themselves into corporate America and letting go of the goals we had for ourselves. In doing this we become an alternate to ourselves, and ultimately wind up as as something less then what we were meant to be... an "Imposter" https://youtu.be/C9OmTjw0_JY #embracethefilm #etf #oliverbuckley #oli #youtubers #youtube #youtubepuppet #youtubereview #shortfilm #shortfilmreview #contentcreation #artisticstruggles #imposter #impostershortfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/CCQ5r2kg45b/?igshid=1xvj6rljrpjw3

The only way I get any work done is to stay up during the night but in that process I've maybe found my artistic "voice" or calling??? Portraiture and Sepia tone is really peaking my interest, so is the show Stranger Things. I am very much like the character Eleven so far and drawing her has been a fantastic therapeutic revelation. #artistHeatherJaeger #TheSpyderDuster #instaartist #StrangerThings #eleven #netflix #ink #portraiture #portraits #fanart #copic #realism #creativeprocess #artisticstruggle #mindovermatter #cheaper than therapy #arttherapy

The way to study characters for me. Art shall be created soon. I promise.

Should I post my list...I feel like I should.

“Manus Island refugee Behrouz Boochani has won the top prize at the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards after organisers made an exception to allow him to enter despite not being an Australian resident or citizen. 〰 His novel — No Friend But the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison — won the country’s most valuable literary award, the $100,000 Victorian Prize for Literature, as well as claiming $25,000 for first place in the category of non-fiction. 〰 The Kurdish-Iranian journalist remains on Manus Island and, has been denied entry into Australia since his detention began in 2013. Boochani wrote his entire book on his mobile phone and sent it in bits and pieces over years to translator Omid Tofighian via Whatsapp. 〰 Speaking to The Guardian, for which he is a columnist, Boochani described receiving the award from a country that has kept him locked up for the better part of six years as “a paradoxical feeling”.

always return to baldwin in times of artistic strife:

the role of the artist, then precisely, is to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through that vast forest; so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place. 

the state of being alone is not meant to bring to mind merely a rustic musing beside some silver lake. the aloneness which one sees in the eyes of someone who is suffering, whom we cannot help. or it is like the aloneless of love, that force and mystery which to many have extolled and so many have cursed, but which no one has ever understood or ever really been able to control. i put the matter this way, not out of any desire to create pity for the artist-god forbid!-but to suggest how nearly, after all, is his state the state of everyone, and in an attempt to make vivid his endeavor.  the states of birth, suffering, love, and death, are extreme states: extreme, universal, and inescapable. we all know this, but we would rather not know it. the artist is present to correct the delusions to which we fall prey in our attempts to avoid this knowledge.

The Drawing In Your Mind Vs The One On The Page

Livestream replay

In our minds, the drawing is perfect. Once we manifest it on the page, it frequently becomes something else. Not necessarily something bad, but something different from what we envisioned. However, that initial vision is what we're always chasing. Maybe that's why artists tend to be so self critical.
