First Post:, or What I Want to Do with This Blog

Pablo Picasso said, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." It's a nice quote that he kind of took from this musician from the 19th century and changed a little. Thing is, that for the viewer this quote might be true, but for the artist, art is part of everyday life, or at least it should be. Also, like my favorite book Art and Fear says, there's a lot of mundane things like work that goes into art. That's something that I want to chronicle in this blog, the work that goes into my art, and the finished products. I want to do this as I try to balance life with art, and try to incorporate life with art, and art with life. I'll write some of my thoughts when that relate to art and other things. At least till I forget.
