Hi there,
Welcome to my my new blog, Art from the Heart. I have to confess, I am an on-again, off-again blogger. The last time I did a blog of my own was on August 24, 2010 (well over a year ago!) My last blog was known as The Daily Reeder, referring to my last name. Yes, while I don't want to play too fast and loose with my own identity, I will show you, the reeder, some parts of it.
My last blog focused almost exclusively on politics. While this blog is called Art From the Heart, it is not just about what I create. This blog is about the experience of life. After all, art imitates life, right? Anyway, I might mention some thoughts of mine about politics or society or the economy, but when I talk about it now, it will be much different.
The blog you are reading now reflects a very different person than the aforementioned one did. I am proud of what I did on that blog, but, to be honest, it was exhaustive, to come up with a long editorial every time I sat down to blog. So, sadly, I gradually lost the energy to keep blogging. It is sad, because I like blogging, but that became harder and harder to do, and with all the work I have to do for college, and trying to find an actual job, I kind of zone out on my off time.
Yes, by the way, I do currently go to college. Yes, I'll fess up right now: I still live with my parents. There. I said it. So I am a bona fide part of what people are now dubbing the Millenial Generation, (hey, at least we get a cool name) those currently age 15-30. However, when you're young, no one thinks you're that intelligent. However, many people I have met, including my brother and I, have more wisdom and insight than conventional wisdom would give us credit for.
Anyway, enough of that rant for now. What is the point of this blog? Well, it will feature a few things. First and foremost, it will be a place where I can showcase some of my pencil drawings. I have been sketching and drawing for as far back as I have a clear memory ("As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be an artist..."). It may also feature writings I have done, or other art or media I have encountered.
I will take photos of the drawings I do, and then post them at the top, and blog a little about it on each entry. Bare with me; at first, the quality might not be that great. I will probably have to work out all the kinks as I go. However, what I have learned about working in art, it is not about putting a product on the market, it is creating that product, then letting it out into the world. So I will have some good stuff up for you guys soon. Till then, keep wondering, folks!
One thought I'd like to add on the previous blog, is that this is simply an evolution of the previous one. Please don't think of that blog as being dead and gone now, think of it as having gone into its cucoon, and now it is crawling out, stronger than ever.
