I’m in the studio as much as possible. My current job that makes me money pushes me so much to create art. I feel like a fish out of water there. It’s just awful. Like I said though, the upside ( dry much upside) is that it’s pushing me to get better and better. Now I still have a zillion years to go, well, I’ll never get there (to be as good as I would like to be), but it’s a goal nonetheless. And while you should set SMART goals, I don’t think it can apply to this. I mean, you could get “artists block”, whereby you reach your potential and begin to question why on earth you are doing art at all, that is when you grow. That is the challenge between those who are truly artists and those who just dabble. I don’t dabble. I’ve had artist’s block many times and worked my way through it. You just push through it. Don’t think, just create. Make that boring art that you’ve already mastered and need to find your way through to continue your journey.
