So, this week I am photographing my art that I have ready to seal and varnish. In addition to that, I am going to clean and organize the studio. I also got a new kind of acrylic paint made by Lucas CRYL. I plan to see how I like this paint and I will get back to you on it. Yeah, I am going to be putting myself back out there. I have been gone from the scene for far too long. I have a great short film to direct and possibly act in. I also am back to painting and want to get that out into the world and sell it.
Yeah, I don’t see myself as a filmmaker, writer or painter. I am a creative. Creating is what I do and I do it in many different ways. I just saw Taika Waititi’s Ted Talk he did in Doha. He explained how he was not one thing but many things. His talent was creativity. We are all creative. You are creative whether you recognize it or not. Find the outlets that let you express that creativity. It may be just one thing or many. I am getting back into filmmaking, but I recognize that there is more to my creative output than just film. I paint, photograph, make multi medium pieces, direct, act, write, produce and what other ways I can find to express myself.
You are all creatives, regardless of what you’ve been told. Get out there and create. I know many of you are very busy and that is fine. You can carve out an hour or two just for you to create. And don’t feel guilty about either. You need some you time.. A good way to self care is by creating. Trust me. Get out there and make something
Ok enough for now. I will be writing here a lot more often.
