Commissions, Me, & The Best Season Ever!

As of late I've been filling my time plotting and planning out a Halloween costume. Halloween is by far superior  to all special occasions!  Personal opinion of course, but I mean how can you not love all that awesomeness and of course the crazy artistic lengths some people go to! This year I'm hoping to put all of my creative juices to work! I have a few plots a plotting in the old brain box, one such idea is a tribute to a couple of animators whose work I love.  We will see however if my schedule permits...more on that later!

In other news, I just completed and sent off a commission for a good friend of mine who is in theater. It was actually a super fun build and brandished one of my bird skulls as the center piece.  The choker was steam punk inspired and was meant to warn by a head mistress.  I couldn't have been happier with the end result.  As a result of the result I now have more commissions and that's exciting! :D

 

Brain Stealing and Lindsay Stirling :D

I have to say there are a lot of people I admire and it really has to do with their accomplishments. There are so many people in this world, and creatively speaking to bring something to the table that's is fresh, interesting and captivating is a challenge all in itself, but to also do that while sticking to your own guns is incredible. With technology these days almost anything is possible and can spread like a virus or die instantly. So many voices fighting to be herd and with site like you tube anyone's got a shot at getting there's out there.  It's those individuals that stick to it and infect, inspire and leave a mark on people and or their community that really stick out to me and makes me want to steal their brains, in a non-creepy non stakerish kinda way...By brains I clearly mean all of their knowledge. ;D

One of these such people I admire is Lindsay Stirling, and if you don’t know who she is check her out HERE. :D Lindsay is doing a tour right now and I was lucky enough to get to see here perform in TO! I have to say amazing! The show was great from a technical and creative stance. To think all of this started by just putting herself out there and persevering, creating a life where she can do what she loves! If that’s not grabbing life the balls I don’t know what is.

Beside the brain stealing, I want to be like these people and I think being inspired is an amazing thing. I want to preserver and forage my own path and have enough wisdom and courage to stay true to myself while learning along the way.  Cheers to inspiration!

On a side note totally babbled like an idiot when I got to talk to her and she signed my cd…Smooth as always! XD
