visual migraine break - saving things
I'm in the middle of a visual migraine so I figured I'd take a break. I've been moving around a bunch of stuff in my room. Getting my collage supplies closer to my present painting table. I swear - this room might actually seem spacious again when I get done. I spent a lot of time going through my old art journals today, rereading them, looking at the art I did. Some of it is pretty good.
I filled this box up with them. I'll be taking it down to the basement soon. I have a couple books that have 366 pages in total where I dedicated myself to a year of drawing or painting something every single day. It didn't have to be something fabulous - it just had to be SOMEthing. Many times the drawings were quite interesting though. One is a book of one self portrait a day. And one was called AYOA (A Year of Art). Berdella was saying the other day that she has been throwing out her old journals - figures no one will ever want to read them. I was kind of shocked. I don't feel ready to do that. I don't know that my kids would want to keep all my art journals when I'm gone but maybe an art lover would appreciate them. I hope if the family doesn't want them that they at least try to sell them as art works. Someone who appreciates artist's books might want one...
Now that the full journals are gone this shelf has half finished journals that I want to add art to. Should keep me busy for the rest of my life.
Break over - migraine over. Time to make dinner...
