Life Is Art

I haven't been making much art lately. And yet I don't feel like I am not being creative. Far from it. I've just been applying my creativity in other ways.

And I'm totally okay with that. I'm working hard and feeling good. And I am not worried about the fact that I am not being terribly prolific right now.

In the past I would use that as some kind of measure, the amount of art that I produced. But I've come to realize that being an artist is so much more then just making art. It's about thoughts and ideas and relationships and self-promotion and, well, living life to the fullest. Art is Everything. And Everything is Art.

I cannot believe that I haven't even begun to build my art installation for Burning Man (only two months or so to go!). But I'm not sweating it. I have plenty of time. It will get built. The idea is all there; the hard part is done.

There once was a time when I would be stressed and worried, nervous and anxious, totally convinced that I wouldn't be able to get my work done. But now, I'm like, whatever. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not concerned.

Anywho, that's all. Just more self-realizations. I'll try to have a freak-out soon so that these blog posts are less boring.
