I've been painting all week! Hooray smile

I wake up every morning with creation on my mind, I make my morning coffee, smoke a cigarette, and immediately rush to get a paintbrush in hand. It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to make something come out on paper or canvas, especialy when it just flows out on its own. I do my best work when its spontaneous. For me creativity is something that just happens. I can't turn it on or off. It comes when it wants, thats why I always have a sketchbook on hand, if not an entire bag full of various art goodies. I must always be prepared.

This explosion of creativity was definately a much needed one. I have been feeling pretty low lately, painting helps to take my mind to a better place. I'm just terribly frustrated with this town, and I want out of it. I've been feeling trapped here and its been tearing me apart. As soon as my hubby and I can save enough money we are getting the fuck out of here! Unfortunately I'm having such a hard time finding a job right now, its difficult to find places around here that want to hire someone who looks like me. frown

"If at first you don't succeed
you gotta recreate your misery
'cause we all know art is hard
young artists have gotta starve"
... some lovely little lyrics from the song "Art is Hard" by Cursive. Wonderful band, all the CD's are good but "The Ugly Organ" will change your fucking life!! Check it out it's amazing.

I want to be back in art school so bad, or at least in a place where I can sell some work and make money as an artist. I would love to start selling some pieces, or showing them in a gallery. After all what do I need a room full of my own paintings for? I make them so share with others, for other people to enjoy and interpret. Right now they are just taking up space in my room frown People in this town just dont get it...

Here is a photo of the painting I just finished. It doesn't have a title yet, maybe you all could give me some suggestions?

I will put more up when they are finished, I'm going to go work on a piece right now. biggrin

Hope you all have a beautiful day

XOXO
Bullet <3

Beautiful work, I'm glad I happened to see your blog mentioning your painting!
I then went to your profile to look at the other artwork...dude. Amazing stuff.
I'm not even a fan of gasmask art, but that is just so excellent to look at the marks you made.
I'm also renaming the one piece "Licking the Flying Mayonaise Jar"...so good.

That's such a beautiful painting. I've always wanted to be some kind of artist myself but I just don't have the talent. You should be proud x

Very lovely painting! You should just get out of town if it's holding you back, you don't really need money, that's a farce society makes us believe to keep itself moving along smoothly. Maybe you already know it, but etsy.com is a great place to sell artwork. Good luck, and I hope the inspiration keeps coming.

That painting is pretty!
Cherish your talent! Try to do something with it. Maybe find some small gallerys where they can display your work, or get back in to school, but I have no idea how hard or possible that is where you're from.
And good luck with finding a job. It's hard enough finding a job you enjoy as it, must be way harder when your looks exclude a lot of possibilities, what I think is absolute horse shit by the way.
