Happy Thursday?
Feeling glum about the whole industry today. I'll get over it... just the usual issues...
- magazines "creating" celebrities with all their contests.
- people who are obsessed with "celebrity" blogs. I love Ali... but I'm pretty sure if she'd tell us what brand of garbage bag she uses they'd sell out. Not her fault. "Our" fault. Really! I love Ali... love her art, her perspective and outlook, and her as a person... totally inspiring! My #1 fav! I just think WE are silly sometimes... the way we act.
- my own personal lack of publishing, although I'm pretty sure I don't suck.
- magazines publishing the same stuff (some even scraplifted from previous issues).
- getting sucked into the whole "recognition and affirmation" thing that comes along with submitting. Really... why do I care if 6 people I've never met like my layout???
Thrilled and inspired about scrapping though... that's a plus! Flipping the bird to submitting. (Pardon my French)
And I'm loving "non-celebrity" work lately... ala Kristina Contes, Heather Burch, Jill Hornby, Amber Skolnick, etc. Totally gets me inspired!
I'm leaving you with a little piece of my home...
