day 040


i actually didn't get anything creatively done today. i am starting to question whether or not i will be able to keep up with a creative endeavor every day while engaged in the shoot i am working on until january. i don't think i am making an excuse. i am working from basically 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., then dinner, then a moment to relax, before i crash because i need to wake up and do it all over again. who knows. i can always lie in bed with the puter and research historical events during my lifetime.

• i could put together a new blog header.

• i could go through some magazines and pull some tears for concepts for testing.

• i could work on designing a website strictly for an art endeavor. it was a concept i had some time back. it would just be a website that changed every month. think of an art gallery where the artist being shown changes every month. but on my site, my art would change every month. so i would be forced to have a whole new concept and see it through every month. i started chatting with a co-worker about it today and i immediately started making excuses as to why i have not began work on it yet. then i snapped and realized i was not giving a single valid reason.

• i don't know web design - i may not know the tools, but i know enough about design and i can learn the tools.

• time - i make enough time for keeping up with this blog, why couldn't i manage an extra hour a day towards learning a new skill?

• i don't have the domain - that should be my first step. i should just go ahead and buy that today.

tonight i spoke with brandon of Maxim baby fame. the above photo is a scan from the magazine and he is the one on the left. we made a date to get together and shoot on wednesday for our photographic comic strip. he will supply the test, i the imagery. should be fun.

i thought there was something else, but i can't remember what now.
