It's been a long time...

Ok, so this hasn't turned out the way I have planned it would. I thought I would be able to create something once a week and be able to put it up on here but alas, I have not been able to or I've just been too lazy. So here is what has been happening (with out pictures I'm afraid): I have been working on my art journals off and on when I can fit it in, the one is looking rather well, especially on the outside. And now I've been thinking more about Artist Trading Cards or ATC's, they seem very intriging, but I am still unsure if it's something that I can really get into. I can see how they can become addictive and perhaps a lifestyle, but I'm just not sure if it's for me.


Here are some links about ATC's:

And I figure this is a way, kind of like the found art thing, to spread creativity around.

Here is an example of what an ATC might look like:

This one I found on a Flicker group (listed above), the artist goes by: evascrap.

Other creative things that I am involved in is "The Cart", a horror/art film that Azzy and I are going to be creating. http://sitekreator.com/thecart

Here is one of the trailers for the film:

Here are the Myspace places I created for it:

I will also be working on the website for Azzy's (my creative friend) film company: Hirophant Fims.

I will be working as a creative director of sorts along with others on the art films for Autumn and Bryans (more creative friends) Cathedral Park project.

Otherwise I'm just trying to keep my life above water and keeping my home clean and getting to work on time, all of that stuff that tends to snuff out the creative spirit, that's why we must work hard to keep it alive, to keep the flame going if you will.

Okay, I should work since I'm at work.
