Good stuff for the creative.

I listened to a random speach the other day from Steve Jobs.  I loved the things in the speach especially the thing he says to himself everyday for the past 30 years.  "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.  This is the best way to say be creative and keep recreating yourself each day of your life.  I hope I can try to do this in my work, and my art, and in every aspect of me.  I think I need to hand this above the bathroom mirror untill I begin to say this to myself as I walk through life.  I think that would make a huge difference in the things I do.   Look for something to inspire you today.

Latest art Happenings

Well I just had a few pieces of mine put in an art show. The show was called art $100 and under.  So I created a small art piece of an old man and a larger canvas piece of a girl spray painting and then a few of my sketches that I like.  I felt really fortunate that I was invited to show work in Jeff's awesome gallery. He is a great guy and the show was really fun with a lot of people there.  With the down pour of rain that day I didn't expect such a turn out.  I would like to thank my friends for showing up as well the art show is what I love. It's what i live for as an artist the chance to show my work and talk about it to others. 

Check out Jeff Clausen's Gallery Blog there is a few pictures of my work in the photo's he took. http://jeffclaassen.com/blog/

If your interested in this painting it is $100 go to Jeff's blog to purchase. Look at the other talented artists too.  Some of these paintings are less than a tank of gas so ride your bike for a week and buy a painting.  Priorities people:)
