Stiff Littler Fingers
January 7, 2010
I’ve been spending a few nights this week painting watercolor flowers for a project at work. It has proven to be a good exercise for me…in fact, it’s made me realize how stiff my practice has become. I have developed bad habits as an artist, I don’t sketch, sometimes it looks as though every line I draw is micromanaged (which I have really noticed with the beauty/fashion portraits Ive been doing). It almost seems hard to believe how stiff my work is, when you consider that I drip paint all over the place. Sadly, even that I control- or have control of. Maybe its not so hard to believe….I just sort of recognized it now.
While painting with watercolor, I struggled. Big time. It actually HURTS me to leave out the fine tuned detail. Sometimes the gestural implication is all you need, I’ve neglected that. I’ve been drawing a certain way for such a long time that my creative muscles aren’t as loose as they used to be. I think I need to revisit life drawing and relax my line work.
On a different creative note, when I cook…the process couldn’t be more relaxed. There’s nothing stiff about it. I throw things together, I improvise, I rarely follow a recipe…
BUT I can’t bake for shit- The rules are too rigid and you have to be a chemist to bend those rules.
Seems as though I need to be more like a painter when I bake…and more like a chef when I draw.
Weird.

So, this dude, Marcus Nispel- he’s like famous or something…blah blah blah Texas Chain Saw…blah blah Friday the 13th…horror director…German.
Oh wait, Director of Faith No More’s 1993 video “A Small Victory”?!?! Sweeeet…
He’s still a dick, look at the horror he calls his home.
The study is STUNNING- that bookshelf blows my mind. Just looking at the living space- it’s like all of a sudden there’s 2 football fields of air to breathe in. Love it.
I hate him. Add this to reasons I wont watch horror movies.
The new practice.
