Progressing Forward With My Art Career

Plain and simple it just feels good to always be moving forward with my art and my career as an artist. It truly is a great life. Great in the sense that it is always up to me how much I want or don't want to put into it. I always find it funny now days when I look on the Portland Craigslist under artist and to see the whining of the anti-RACC, anti-art person and all of the other comments that follow. It appears that many of these so called artist have no clue as to what it takes to be a professional artist. When I say "professional" I don't mean commercial, I mean some one who has dedicated there life to there art and making a full time career out of it, or not. Many up and coming artist that whine about the art scene are doing so because they have not had many opportunities to be able to show or sell there work. They seem to think just because they put paint to canvas or snap a few pictures that it is art worth someone's investment of time and money to purchase or support or promote. The ego gets in the way far to many times at this point. I do not feel these type of people are true artist. They are wannabees, or better put whhiinnnabeees. The world is full of too many of these types. The work is the important thing and any artist that has stuck with it for any length of time knows this to be true.

I myself can't go for more then a few days without working. It is like breathing to me.

I am glad that now I am in a place to handle most anything that can come my way with my work. Even if things were to start taking off even faster then they are now I know I would be able to handle everything coming my way. My assistant mentioned to me before the holiday's that there are a few steps I need to take first but that when everything will be breaking wide open (and it feels like it is very soon) (so scary to actually admit that out in the open, oh my god/goddess-I believe in equality among the worshiping of the deity's) that it will happen fast because I do have soooo much work. It feels extremely satisfying to say this. I love being prolific. And anyway I get to add a new word to my everyday vocabulary. PRROOOLLIIIFIICC. Say it now. PROLIFIC!
