this happens to me from time to time.

indecision

209. the great battle of indecision.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

should you go left or should you go right? I like to think the two thoughts battle it out in your head.

I always forget something

208. groceries, I always forget something.

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I don't hate grocery shopping, but I still always manage to forget something, no matter how many lists I write.

207. Identity crisis.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

You ever wake up and wonder why you do what it is you do?

206. The morning after..
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

yes, I'm feeling a bit delicate this morning.

Clean up!

205. keeping my mind in order.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I think a lot of my thoughts and ideas are a little sarcastic, jaded and lack a bit of optimism, I think it's time I sorted my brain out.

Take me away from all of this.

204. I've had enough, take me away from all of this.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

if only :)

awkward!

it would be great if a giant hand could just take me away when I out my foot in it.

no more listening

202. people don't have the capacity to listen any more.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I know too many people like this.

framed

201. Framed.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I wonder how many people who claim to have been framed actually have been set up?

Artists don't do the greatest hits of the visual art world.

200. Artist don't really do cover versions of other artists work.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

It's odd, musicians get asked all the time to play other people's songs, sometimes in the style of those other people. but no one has ever asked me to do someone else's painting. I never get "hey, I love that Damien Hurst fella's spot paintings, whack one of those out in your next show, they're great!"

my state of mind at the moment.

growing and changing.

195. I've never noticed myself change.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

perhaps it's something other people see, but we don't see it ourselves. does it happen all at once or is it something that happen gradually like growing a plant? I don't know.

what happen's when you get there?

194. What happen's if you actually make it to the top?
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

if it's all about the journey, then what happens when you get there?

make some noise

it's good to be loud sometimes.

always smiling.

192. Be mistrustful of those that smile all the time.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

no one is happy all the time, i do not trust those that appear to be, maybe I'm just cynical.

Potatoes can't see, can they?

191. The non seeing eyes of a potato.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

why do they call them eyes on the potato, they look more like warts or zits? I mean can potatoes even see?

uncertain

190. I don't know where we're going, but we're going anyway.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

Just how I feel today.

caged

189. caged mind.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

the hard thing about this project is that I have to an art work every day (duh). my art is based on experiences I have, but if I'm stuck in doing artworks, I have less experiences... I shall have to remedy this!

Cheesiest Image I've ever done (so far).

188. ..and you thought yesterday's image was cheesy.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I normally try and avoid cheesy images, I felt yesterdays was a bit on the cheesy side, so I though, I'll make today's deliberately cheesy, managed to resist putting a unicorn in there though.

not a heart surgeon

187. I'm not a heart surgeon.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I have no idea, really how the actual or the metaphorical human heart works.

Tynwald

186. Tynwald day.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

I know Tynwald day was on the 5th, but the ceremony is today and also it's a public holiday here on the rock :)

Some days!

185. Some days, the cogs are turning, but nothing happens.

Like I've said before, some days the ideas come thick and fast, some days not so much.

Thanks to all the positive comments for yesterday's mile stone, I'm feeling pretty good today.

Lots of views

As of today the blog has had over 20,000 views. so here is the process video of today's painting.

Half way through..

182.being creative under pressure.
Acrylic on board

30cm x 21cm

today marks the half way point of the project, so i thought I'd do a painting for a change (it's been awhile) I wanted to do a piece about the pressures of producing an original artwork every day. so here it is.

No news is...

181.the illusion of good news.
Digital

10.5cm x 10.3cm

when you work freelance, there is only so much promotion that you can do. eventually you have to just wait. this is the part of the job I hate. I find myself trying to will the phone to ring or make an email arrive, in this context, no news is not good news.

putting myself back together

180. Putting myself back together again..
