• Midnight Blues...........
  by Karin Taylor

  / Midnight Blues by Karin Taylor Well howdy my bubbly friends, and wouldya believe i got me favourite piece of art featured on the HOMEPAGE tonight!! omi!!! omeeee!!! omi!!!! You see, i was just havin’ a little whinge about how i never get featured no more….. / and the one i was thinkin’ deserved a little featuring…just happens to pop up on / the homepage….wo!! I should try whingin’ a little more often (nah, my family disagrees!!!!!) lol Midnight Blues is from a painting i did recently on Arches Aquarelle Paper 56×76cm, a mixed media production, utilising inks, pastels, acrylics, charcoals, found objects such as string and fabric….and the most beautiful gold paint which gives the guitar it’s lustre Midnight Blues is from the Inspired Series by Karin Taylor, during the painting of this, i was strongly influenced by my favourite Australian artist, Brett Whitely, longing to capture something of the wonderful curves he created in his works. It has a dark and sombre feeling, much like how i was feeling at the time i created her. I used to laugh and carry on that my thoughts and my moods could ever be conveyed through a painting, and it was just silly that people reckoned they did so, but just look at me now….i cannot seem to prevent it happening these days!! lol…that’ll teach me to scoff :)

• Blocked

  No. I’m not playing Tetris (actually I was last week…) but despite a recent “stroke of genius” and the fact that I managed to make some artworks… I’m absolutely blocked. Blame it to this time of the year, a sudden lack of inspiration or inability to materialize what I have in mind. The massive block strikes me everywhere. No matter if I sit and start modelling in MAX, the model will look like crap (let alone the textures with Photoshop) or if I fire up Word and try to write a story… Sometimes I can’t even start them. I have the idea but either a random X or Y come into the equation and mess up the entire thing. I’m trying to do my best to overcome this crappy moment. For that purpose I have countless notebooks where I hand-write and/or sketch all sorts of weirdness. But I would love to turn that weirdness into something and that is what drives me mad at the moment. Ever had some solid and nice ideas and felt unable to apply them? Sucks bad. Currently I had three 3D/2D mixes in mind but I only started one (by started I mean it: it’s just 12 splines and a polygon of 12 faces) and still have horribly childish drawings for the other two. However that’s not the main worry. I love to write. In fact, I would love to get paid for writing. Yeah, keep on dreaming. I’m already aware I might and WILL get paid more for working as an editor, correcting drafts and polishing stuff for the print than being on the other side of the mirror, struggling to get 20 words published. Another side of this irony is that I had more luck making artworks (that is, showing in images the stuff I cannot properly describe/write about due to its high levels of… oddity, yeah, that could be the word) than with writing. Ok, gotta go back to see if I can come up with something. The blank page syndrome (or empty 3d space syndrome too), coupled with the saturnian block are slowly rusting my mood. Te odio, maldito fin de año, ¡es una porquería!

• Inferno Express Through Hell

  I’m sorry that I have been away for so long. I have been terribly sick. More sick than I have been in almost fifteen years. Having been given a generic-brand of Synthroid, and the improper dosage to start with, sent me on an amazing and awful express-train ride through hell for a grand total of eight months; where nothing was as it seemed… Trying to regulate my medicinal intake between the hypothyroid and bipolar disorder, was opening up all kinds of cans of fun; to say that I almost died would not have been far from the truth. I looked into the eyes of the abyss and came away laughing hysterically. I was a week in the hospital before it was learned that it was in fact the generic Synthroid that was instigating the episodes and cycles. It’s a serious bitch when you wake up one day and remember things months ago like they happened yesterday, or remembering things yesterday as if they happened months ago. I literally thought that I was going to lose my mind. I’m still recovering, so bear with me as I try to get realigned with everything that is going on around me. Yours Truly, / —Timothy

  Last week really provided me with the challenge of acceptance. For the past 18 months I have been storing all the pictures of my art on a USB stick. It seemed the perfect solution, after previously experience the loss of data before I thought I had the perfect back up. / Well, you know the saying, you know what thought did??? / Last week my computer crashed and I lost all my email and email addresses but I was patient and reconciled because at least I had not lost all the important stuff. Little did I know what was waiting around the corner! At the end of last week I went to access my art on my USB and could not. I asked my ever patient, computer savvy partner to look at it for me. He tried to recover from the stick but was not successful. Gone is my art work , some which has been sold, so will never see again. Gone is my writing, my resume, my university study since 2005 and my photographs. So, I am faced with a blank canvas, an opportunity for a new beginning. I am hoping that means that my creativity is ready to move to a new level. Alternatively the universe could be telling me to give it up! Hope not, I have been truly enjoying this journey since leaving the corporate world. I admit, I am no saint, I did cry myself to sleep that night, but there is no point dwelling on it. Now, I am a little excited, new beginnings…AGAIN, who knows where this will take me. So, if there are more of me out there perhaps we can start a victim of technology support group? If not, maybe I just need to get on with it and start afresh. Thanks for listening / Love, light and laughter to you all / Shelley

• Getting motivated - deadlines? peaceful? sad?

  What gets you motivated to do an artwork, especially when art isn’t central to your work? / I find I tend only to finish a piece of art to meet a deadline – birthday or Christmas if it’s going to be a gift, or to meet assignment schedules, or because a book needs illustrations or a front cover. Even though that’s what seems to push me, once I’m doing it I get right into “the flow”, you know when time seems to stop. / But one of my sons only found out he could do clever cartoons when he was depressed, and now he is not, he doesn’t do them anymore! / But conversely I have several friends who can’t concentrate on art or craft when depressed, until they have some space to feel peace. / Strange how people can be so different and need different conditions to be expressive visually. / I am just wondering if you work best to deadlines, or when feeling at peace, or when down?
