Lost in Art

Writing is difficult for me. I overthink every sentence wondering if I used the correct combination of words, spelled everything right, grammar, and punctuation.  Just had to get that out before I started todays blog entry.   Last night I worked on an idea I had that l’m calling, 3 DJs.  Its three Monkeys on 3 separate cardboard canvas.  Wait, 2 are on cardboard, one is on the back of a a Seattle Mariners poster.  I wanted to do the last image big but did last have a large enough piece of Cardboard.  I also wanted to see how the airbrushing would work on a surface with glossy sheen.  Pretty good it turns out.  I want to go back to that one tonight and add colors.  But they’re pretty much done and I’m content with how they turned out.   The creative process goes a few different ways for me when I create art or music, let me explain.   I make time to create everyday weather I am inspired and have a great new idea or I have nothing, I go do it.  In sports they have what is re
