I haven't even mentioned my book addictions *grin* I spent so much on amazon and then quick frantic trips to barnes and noble when the internet couldn't feed my needs fast enough. ahaha oh yes… I haven’t even mentioned my book addictions *grin* I spent so much on amazon and then quick frantic trips to barnes and noble when the internet couldn’t feed my needs fast enough.

That's never been in the cards for me, though at times I wonder if I should just relegate it to a hobby. That's really hard to hear about the cancer. I do hope they've gotten it cleared for you. My medical condition isn't nearly as bad, though it's an incurable disease, it's treatable and maintainable so I can live a perfectly normal lifestyle. But it kills your self esteem, and your artistic drive something fierce. But how cool to find a job in a studio!! That's fantastic! Those jobs are few and far between, but are so worth it when you can snag one. ah well, thanks for the kind words. I'm going to be posting more over here. Not many people watch this area, so it feels comfortable to just sort of.. work out my thoughts and bumble through putting things back together. I most definitely won’t stop doing my art.

I am kind of in the same boat as you, only you're more accomplished than I am. I turned 33 this month, the recession has been a bitch, my self esteem is low, and back in March they found cancer and I had to undergo surgery and chemo... Let's just say I stopped doing all of the art I do and I lost some of myself by doing so. Now, I sit down and go what am I going to do? When before I was rushing to pick up my camera or make some jewelry, or even experiment with some new medium. It's been very hard to find the artists inside me. I know she's there. It's like she's at the end of the hall, and I'm walking towards it, but not getting any closer. In hopes of jump starting things I applied to a photography studio/art gallery last week. I got the job! I think that means I don't suck! You are an amazing artist! I've come to enjoy reading your rants just as much as seeing your newest piece of art. I think the world would be a duller place without your artistic vision in it. Just seeing the things you create makes me want to know the person behind the painting. That's a first for me. I only ever wish I could know dead people :) "But today my goal is to accept how far I’ve come, rather then focus on how far I have to go." These are words of wisdom, my friend. Anytime you doubt yourself come back and read these words. Hope things look brighter to you soon. Well, please don’t stop doing your art.

We went to see it on Wednesday evening as well with friends of mine, but when we arrived at the cinema almost *an hour* before the movie, tickets were already sold out. O_o;; I hope your surgery went well! *hugs* Oh my, I can’t wait to see that movie.
