the pressure of art

so i promised a friend that i would lend her some of my (few) pieces of original art for her studio show in a few weeks.

first of all, i have a limited selection and i'm not sure whether or not she will want to use them or if they will suit the rest of the set design. so i should probably come up with several more for variety's sake.

second, i'm terrified. my artwork chills out on the walls of my apartment. not a big deal when i have friends over and they see it and comment on it. not at all. in that space, it's comfortable. it belongs there. in a show, people i don't know are seeing it and (silently) judging its artist's technique. i know i don't have to meet with any of these people or care what they think as long as hayley (studio show director gal) thinks it works. but still. scary.


anyway, i've set off on a mission to do more of them. art that is. i've procrastinated long enough already and it has been far too long since i painted (if you knew me, you'd know this is actually a huge travesty).

until then, i search for inspiration from websites like ffffound.com (AH-MAZ-ING)
