I won’t draw my neighbor’s black Civic.

Today’s morning drawing! It interests me how my controlled drawing replicates my uncontrolled splatter paintings. I guess I really gravitate towards that type of design. Maybe because I don’t really care about things. So drawing a thing, like an apple or cat sounds uninteresting for me. I feel that art can be anything, so why create something that I see every day. That’s how I feel when making my own art. But I greatly respect other artists that want to recreate things. Maybe I’d recreate what I see in my day if I enjoyed what I saw. My neighbor’s 2008 black Honda Civic is the perfect object. So beautiful. So inspiring.

While drawing this sketch this morning, I ended up looming on a gentle feeling that creating art is what makes me feel best. I couldn’t tell you why, but it gives me purpose. And it feels like a point of relation to reflect the world off of. A way of understanding myself. I did what felt good without any forethought, made a new thing, and now I look at the world again after seeing this new thing. “So this weird abstract thing (my sketch) came from me…and that weird abstract thing (the world) came from something else. Maybe I see how these two things relate, and what of the world catches my eye, catches my interest.”

I am going to focus on making a batch of EP’s. 4 songs each. Bust em out like hot cakes. Under the artist name Metasmith. EP’s seem like enough commitment to an idea. And I want to explore many different ideas. AND I do not want to make an album with 15 different ideas. I like when a musical release, or any piece of art, is just one cohesive concept, so I know exactly what I’m in for. In a sense, it’s the limitations of staying in one style to force creativity within that. I can keep talking but I gotta move on with my day. Peace
