Retrospect

Tue Aug 15, 2006, 4:47 AM
A year has passed and I'm temped to say that I’ve gotten wiser, prettier and happier. But that’d be a lie.

It's weird how ones life can evolve to drastically different than one thought.

One year ago;
I thought I'd be in art school by now.
I thought I'd be painting plenty and feel truly happy with my life situation.
I thought that'd I'd burn for the subject I'd be taking.
I thought I'd be richer, prettier, much more outgoing and more confident in myself.
...and what happens...

I end up in a media school in Bournemouth England studying Advertising.
Feeling confused about how I got here and if this is what I really want to do.
I haven’t painted a single painting,
I haven’t drawn a single drawing,
nor have I made a single sketch since I finished with the IB.
I'm not prettier, I'm definitely not richer, and from the lack of painting I feel that I've lost myself again.
…so how could this happen...?

I'm too afraid. - To scared to take the risk. - I mean, advertising seemed to be the safe compromise to painting. - And what do I do? - I learn how to plan campaigns and make strategies. - Do I enjoy it? – I can be fun.......
….. but it's definitely not anything I burn for.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you ever stand in front of the same decision making as I did..
Take the chance!
Do what ever would make you feel happy!
And I know that one day I'll end up like these people here below. With a concept, a passion and the guts to do what I really want to do.. Paint…

thanks for your comments Amanda!
i usually start with random images, play with them, not really thinking about what i SHOULD do and then luckily something interesting happens and tells me the way i have to follow :) that's a bit different when i'm doing commissioned illustrations, because the subject is imposed.

hi just popped by... i hope you are still drawing, advertising or not, as you have so much ability. I think your figure work is very expressive and it inspires me to get out the pens and pastels!
hope your course is going well, if not switch to illustration
