I found it more difficult to get things done this month. I spent a week recovering from surgery and wasn’t able to paint or practice anything really. I did work further on my current painting, however, that piece is not close to being finished, so I can’t show it as this months ‘thing.’

Instead, this month was the month of planning and inspiration. I’ve been discovering new music and sketching out ideas. I have an idea for a triptych, and I also made the decision to take up the painting elective at Uni next semester. I miss art classes and having people to discuss art and creativity with. I enjoy Media but the people don’t seem to get as excited about these things there. As well as the sketching and brainstorming that I’ve done, I’ve started creating an inspiration collage wall. Most of my door area is covered in things like this, but I’ve decided to extend it onto the surrounding wall. I found a collection of images from my Tumblr page and ‘likes,’ and interspliced them with works by my favourite artist; James Jean. I  have around $70 worth of printing credit in my building at Uni, so I abused my access to the HQ design printers, and made these lovely prints.

Additionally, I have been steadily working on other little projects. I’ve started knitting again and am working on a media piece. But I don’t expect they will be finished very soon. I anticipate for December I should have finished my large painting.
