Sticks and Stoned

Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right;
decide on what you think is right and stick to it.
~ T.S. Eliot

I've been working with sharp objects . . .
I've been on Vicodin for my sciatica . . .

I've been like Edward Scissorhands.

I'd love to share photos of what's going on behind-the-scenes in the studio; however, I'm super secretive when it comes to projects that are in the beginning stages.

It's a bit being paranoid of having my ideas stolen (and there are copy cat bitches lurking in the shadows) and the remaining part is keeping myself from becoming bored. When I talk too much about an idea before actually putting it into action, I can grow tired of it.

But I do take a lot of photos during the designing phase! I need visual motivation, so I grab my camera and and make eye-candy digital collages and off-the-wall marketing advertisements even though I know the piece is not the final version. It's a fun way to look at what stands out and what needs to be improved upon. Plus, I have an awesome pictorial of the creative process!

And when the piece is true, I just know it.
I know it's right and I stick with it.
Then I move on so I don't get stuck.

Looking forward to seeing what you create! ;) Unfortunately, youre not paranoid - copy cats are very real. Sigh. You are wise to protect your visions. I do the same, and I hate that it has to be that way. Ah well, at least now its like your revealing a surprise to us!

Love your creative process. And yes sadly there are people who steal what is yours.
