complete my portfolio

...finally complete!! Now I’m just awaiting the scores…

and I have until March 15, ‘08 to finish 19 more. I don’t know what’s making me more nervous, making the art or making really crappy pieces of art….I guess that’s sort of the same thing. I need to learn to just go for it.

I’m taking a drawing and painting class now. I can feel my confidence growing with every assignment. It’s pretty cool cause the class is composed mostly of fortyish-fiftyish women and like two men. These folks wouldn’t even call themselves natural born artists (like I claim to be) yet they are putting out some pretty professsional looking work. And they’re so nice! I’m inspired.

I will feel like a real artist when I do this. Right now I kinda feel scattered, like I have no firm foundation or clear direction. When I tell people that I’m an artist they wanna see my work, but I don’t think that I have much to show at this point. Just a bunch of sketches and a few weird ideas that I don’t know how to express. Nothing sophisticated enough to be put on canvas. I don’t even know how to paint!

I thought it was an ugly portfolio until I saw it printed.. very nice and done in a bunch of days!

If I’ll find time I’ll retouch it or maybe remake to make it greater!
