Get to work!

Sometimes it's hard to think of being an artist as a real job. If you're a studio artist, it's likely that you don't have a boss or co-workers, scheduled work hours or pre-determined objectives. You have to do all of it yourself. It's hard to have any accountability because no one is really watching to see if you are being productive or doing your job well.

Since I finished my undergraduate studies, I have been trying to create for myself an environment that I will be productive in. School provides deadlines, feedback, peers, competition... all things that I miss and am not productive without.  

This blog is my way of setting some accountability for myself. In my regular studio routine, I sit down before I start to paint and write a to-do list. I intend for this blog to record my to-do list and my thoughts on my process. It's purely a tool to remind myself that there is more work to be done, and to help me know that I have accomplished some things.
