“Overcome”
13 September 2011
9″X7″ visual journal
Paint, vintage papers, ink, vintage photos.
I feel as an artist as if I am compelled to create, create, create. If I don’t I feel lost, grouchy, repressed. I have a need that must be met and I am never satisfied. One idea brings another and another. On and on it goes. I wake up at night with ideas, thoughts, feelings I must express. Ideas I must try. For years I did not make art, I almost feel as if I am making up for lost time. Lost time…
Wow, beautiful..you are on a roll, beautiful to witness, in both art making and in sharing sentiments with words..moved this morning..
I love this spread and this post Brian. I agree that one idea begets another and another and another! I think that the time you were not making art was a period when your ideas were simmering under the surface waiting for the right time to come to fruition…I always remember the old saying: “An idea whose time has come” as well as “There is a time for everything” =-)
I’m glad I get to witness this time of beautiful and colorful ideas coming from you Brian!
Do you create one spread at a time, or do you have more than one journal going at once? Really love your journal pages!
Lovely spread, and yes, the need to create is growing when you feed it.
