Wow! My first post.
Writing open-endedly here is somewhat daunting - it brings to mind a white, untouched canvas - but I wanted to set up and introduce a forum for people to share any and all artistic visions. I am interested in philosophical ideas, musical interests, multi-media art - any type of artistic outpouring. These can be poignant or silly, brilliant or nonsensical, smart or stupid. Remember, the word "ordinary" is also found in "extraordinary."
So, to get the ball rolling and some conversations flowing, I have decided to post some of my own paintings and renderings (and a few in progress), as well as some examples of my other interests. Please feel free to let me know what compels you to wake up every morning. Or, better yet, the visions and dreams that keep you from getting out of bed. Put simply, what makes you hit Snooze every five minutes?
More to come. Thanks for stopping by ;)

I don't know what it was today that kept me hitting snooze for an hour and a half, but I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with artistic visions or dreams.
ReplyDeleteLately, I have not been retaining many of my dreams, and I kind of miss them. I feel like I go through phases of intense dreaming followed by phases of not dreaming (or at least remembering) anything. My dreams are always the most lucid when I am going through transitions, such as moving and travelling. It's as if my unconscious mind is being stirred up and thoughts leak into my consciousness through dreams.
What have you been dreaming about lately, A? I mean, aside from Andrew Bird...

"But then I listen to Russell's music and I see true aesthetic value in his somewhat nasal tone and his departure from classical composition. To me, it sounds beautiful - it sounds human." Good point Anne. Beautiful it isnt but thats essentially what extreme metal is all about. Not clean sounding or easy to digest even but doesn't that accurately describe much of life? And what is art but a representation of the human experience? Good stuff.
