I feel despondent. Not so much as a hopelessness but more of this heavy feeling constantly resurfacing when working on art or walking through the city. What am I doing. These words keep punching me in the face. I can't shake it. I had a wonderfully successful show (thank you to all that came and to those that didn't it's still up until the 16th ( Read more... )

i think it'd be a really good idea for you to live somewhere else. the new experience of having to start all over with all new people will make you grow a whole lot as a person, and hopefully as an artist as well. but art follows experience, so have some fucking experiences already.

yeah I know. Living downtown has helped in a way, but in another way it's compressed my world into a few blocks. I keep seeing the same shit, going to the same places. I love consistency... well I tend to fall into consistency. i know you're right. I'm making a goal to leave by this time next year. so long as my bank account has 5 digits in it....

i'm the same way. i like the little ruts i create. but then i resent them as well.

I'm going through the same thing with my art right now. I just feel like I can do so much better, just don't have the resources or means. I know rooting somewhere is important, more than most. I've traveled a lot and know that if you are lonely now, it just gets worse when you get somewhere new.... at least for a year or so.

Call me, let's get together, let's bounce ideas. I miss seeing you around belltown, now that I'm on the hill. I leave friday for 11 days to Miami. In the same mental state, I need to disconnect for a little bit, hopefully to come back a bit refreshed.

my bf went to OU for painting (undergrad) and liked it. I visited the town its in and its strangely a lot like the northwest. small little hippie town. Plus its not a very far drive to NY!

and i feel your poor pain, i've had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch for the last 4 days and plan on it being my lunch for the next 9, perhaps alternating between other equally as cheap sandwiches.
