Yes, it has been a while. I am not sure if my interests have been lying elsewhere over the past month, or if I just haven’t needed the release that this blog has given me. Maybe a little of both.
I’ve picked up a new hobby of basic graphic design. It’s something I have always wanted to learn how to do and now I am combining it with my love of great quotes. I should probably try and get some of the images up on my website as it is the most current of any “marketing” projects I have worked on. There is something really fun about putting words into some type of image. What is even better is that people can interpret those words and images completely different than the next person. I created one image based on losing someone in a romantic way. I know of two other people who have look at that same image and one took it as missing her husband who was far away and the other as losing a loved one to death. Sometimes I think that art that is not so concrete, not so to the point, not something that can only be seen as one way, is best. What’s even better is when your same eyes can look at something one day and see something completely different the next. I am not even close to that level with my work but I am glad that at least a few of the images can mean something for one person and maybe something else for the next one to come along.
Seeing things in a different way seems to be a theme lately. My last posting touched on it quite a bit – in a sense of perspective on life. Add to that the fact that I just had eye surgery, letting me see things differently as well…literally. I am just a few days out and my eyes feel very foreign to me. Many people have asked me for a photo of what they look like right now and the closest I could come to sharing was with an artistic twist. Trust me, I am not a pretty sight at the moment.
So that’s the update. No drama. No crazy stories. And from my perspective, that’s a good thing.
