Well, here I am at 2:12 a.m. typing my first blog. It's only taken me umm, too many years to count. After many requests, I hope to start blogging more and documenting my art and creative things better.
This may sound crazy but I sometimes don't think of myself as an artist. I'm all self taught, I don't have a degree in Art, a find myself in all directions when it comes to creating. I love any and every craft there is. I get bored very easily and so I tend to not to like repeating myself when it comes to crafting. I often find crazy ways of getting things done and honestly sometimes just struggle with thinking my art is good enough.
I often will compare myself to others or my work to others and get incredibly discouraged by my lack of talent. "Do I have the right way of doing this? Do I have all the right tools to succeed? I can't afford what I need to do this right? This isn't coming out like I see it in my head? I wish I had gone to art school. Why can't this turn out better." These are just some the questions I often ask myself when creating. I think this is why it's taken me so long to blog or post anything to my website. I am definitely my own worst critic, but here I am; taking the first step to being human and vulnerable before you all. To owning my own way of doing things.
I will try to just put myself out there, be real and honest despite how I feel in my head. I am learning, like all of us, how to master my craft and talent. Welcome to my journey1
