can't sit still



despite my slacking on the "weekly maker" entries i've been unsuccessfully trying to keep up with, i'm working on starting a new "weekly" happening, a project section. it's been brought to my attention recently that despite my complaints that i haven't made anything in almost two years, that i actually make things all the time, constantly, incessantly even, i've become notorious for being knee deep in 72 different projects and scheduling social engagements around said projects. yes, lunacy, i know. i just haven't been making much "artwork", whatever that means, or the artwork i've been making doesn't see much of the light of day or attain any sort of resolve or finish, so i equate that as a lack of productivity, when maybe it's an excess of productivity and a lack of interest that's keeping me from the work that i would more formally consider my artwork.

so in the vein of art imitating life, i'm going to try to document some of these projects. anything that happens by my hands, i'm going to try to take a photo and jot a note about. little things, mundane triumphs, everyday explorations. hopefully a little diy information sharing. i've got high hopes these days, it feels good to feel productive and capable, it feels good to be holding tight and sailing along, it feels good just to be doing things and talking. i'm happy just to try these days and i guess we'll see how things turn out.
