Damn Artists

So, I created this blog to humor my intensive need to release thoughts and ideas and not hold them in .  It is simply another way to express myself.  What I am doing, what I am thinking, feeling, etc.  It's just an outlet.

I will post pictures of my art here and there (both finished and in progress) and in the future I am hoping that this will be just my full-blown artist blog as opposed to me probably ranting and bitching about stuff.  

I feel like I have just recently awoken from a stupid slumber.  I have always had a passion for art.  Painting, probably being my favorite. I have been a graphic designer for 12 years now.  I have painted, been an illustrator, a sculptor, a writer, a musician, and a tattooer, so I am very familiar with numerous mediums. And finally, I think I have realized a few things.

My problem is that I have always wanted to do everything (if that makes sense).  You start one thing, then get bored of it, and start another.  I might finish what I start, but there was no follow-through.  No advancement.  Nothing held my interest long enough for me to want to passionately pursue it.  So I just work my normal 9-5 doing computer graphics and gettin paid wondering what the hell I should be doing in life. 

As well as art, motorcycles are another passion of mine.  I grew up on dirtbikes and when I was old enough and financially stable enough to buy a Harley, I bought one.  Even with bikes I wish I knew how to build them.  How to do metal fabrication work, and just having the know how of how everything works. But alas I am no motorycle mechanic and I do not pretend to be.  The pursuit of obtaining that knowledge would not work out with my lifestyle now anyhow.

So the big question is... 'What do you want to do?'  What do you like to do?  What makes you happy and what will keep you happy so that you will continue to do it.   1 of them is painting.  The other is motorcycles.  The answer seems obvious to me.  Here is my first finished painting from my new venture and hopefully many more to come. Stay tuned.
