Day 18 in Thailand (“Working” is Relative)

Day 18 in Thailand 

(“Working” is Relative)

We as artist have much more to do then most people with other careers and lifestyles. Working is not just us sitting and making the things we make! We need to stay creative and motivated so we can constantly be making new work to keep the doors open. The issue comes when we realize that what used to fill us with inspiration, no longer hold the same luster it once did. This is a great place to be if you can see it for what it is GROWTH! Growth is funny though, to grow we need to change; not just “WHAT” we’re doing, but also “HOW” we are doing it. This creates room for the growth to occur. For me this came in the form of relinquishing the roll of “manufacturing” my product. It’s hard to give your work; something that you’ve lovingly, created, crafted, and intimately made, to someone, with the hopes you get back what you’re wanting! I know this firsthand. I’m here to tell you, you have nothing to worry about as long as you follow your gut and live by this principle “Relationship First, Business Second!” After all we have more inspiration to gather and more work to make!

Enjoy!
