1. For as long as I can remember, I have been a lover of the visual arts. For almost as long, though, and probably like many people, my artistic endeavors have filled me with as much anxiety as happiness. There is invariably someone else doing what I'm doing, and comparisons have to be made. I'm not sure when that point comes in life when drawing stops being awesome and starts being borderline misery. Luckily, I've always been a bit arrogant about my artistic skills, so I was not affected as much as most. Still, why do we want our drawings to look good? And if we want them to look "good", why is it that so many of my current inspirations draw in a very youthful style? What is it that makes some less accurate drawings "good" while others just look like chicken scratch?
2. How do people find their creative voice? Can you have a voice without seeing it? When does it come out, and what makes it original?
3. I spend many of my waking hours consumed by a need to CREATE! something, RIGHT! NOW! There are lots of exclamation points involved.
4. I have a lot of crafty hobbies. I'm probably not alone. How do some people maintain their creative voice across different mediums? Not like, drawing and painting. More like, printmaking/sewing/design. And can you have too many hobbies? Is it like too many cooks spoiling the broth?
