feather2pixels

Paradoxically and as we can all see, the challenge of producing the perfect 400th post contributed to minimal activity in these pages for the past month.  In the end I shelved my more reflective ideas for this largely irrelevant milestone in favor of something perfectly trivial.  Actually, it’s almost five hundred total posts if I claim the largely irrelevant contents of  proto-feather2pixels from 2005, when everyone had a unique blog, before the great internet creativity cleanse.   Zuckerman, you could learn lots from the example of these monthly slop feeds.

I did want to mention that in my very first post (April 13, 2005) having just started my very first art studio, I was directly pondering my creative process

I have no fucking clue what I am doing, I do seem to have very specific ideas about what is okay and what is not okay at art studio. Primarily ideas about trying to set up something realistic and sustainable… I just need to go.

I can think about lot of ways I could have maybe got farther along by now, but reading this seven years later compels me to give myself credit for mostly recognizing the most important part and mostly getting it right so far.   Of the aspirations of an artist, the pinnacle is not a practice that you sustain but a practice that sustains you.

Wow even though I just made that up I absolutely believe it.
