I seem to always go through this phase — a sort of funk, where I can’t seem to find what it is I’m searching for in order to find motivation to paint as much as I used to. During the holidays, I started painting more pop-culture-ish pieces so that I could attract a larger fan base and sell more than I usually do. Although I love Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters, I can only handle painting so much of it before getting tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll continue to produce my HK/Sanrio/Fabric pieces… but my heart is telling me to go back to painting other things. Call it an “almost-30” life crisis, or just plain artist’s block… but I seriously need to get deeper with my pieces in order to find my way again. Get ready to see the deeper side of me come out again. I need to get back into writing, and then painting pieces around them. It may not be this month, or the month after that… but stay tuned, because audibleSOUL is about to get down and dirty!
