Well I'm back home, with the vibrant greens, chilling winds, harsh accents and showering skys. While looking for a job (which is turning out to be a quest fit for Indiana Jones) I am trying to sketch and doodle different ideas for my direction next year, it gets complicated very easily though.With the stress of having no money, no social life and a constant threat of severe boredom, means that there is nothing concrete I have come up with. Someone suggested to me the other day to start drawing caricatures and sell them on the seafront in my town. I tried out a couple of quick undistiguished mark making and exaggerated forms, I didn't much care for them. It may evolve into a money making venture but at the moment I do not want to be the guy who sits on the pavement, obeying the commands of the general public to create 'An Art', not that I have anything against the demand and supply of art for the public, but being an artist that is available to all and not losing the artists integrity along the way is, to me, the essence of art.
Overall, I am planning on building up a Summer portfolio of work, possibly exhibiting it at the end of Summer before Uni starts again. Which means I am going to have to learn all the tricks of the trade. Selecting venues, cheap advertising, and creating some kind of interest and rappore with whomever may come.
Well, you gotta do something with your spare time i suppose.
