It's August. A month ago I moved back to Dallas to start a life, a life I wanted free from other expectations and free from the norm that I am used to. Basically, I moved to have a chance at life, one where I can breathe and not suffocate. The city of Abilene will always be my home, always; however, there is too much history, too many memories, and not a life for me there. In fact, since I've moved back to Dallas, life has been amazingly different if not better.
Within a week I found a part time job at a frameshop, and await more hours if not full time. I quit retail after two days of trying it out, and the lack of communication and time it took for them to accept me as a transfer was just not worth it. Thus, I seek a second job part time until I can get what I really want at the frameshop. I do plan on going to grad school, but I have no clue as to where. This is why I'm working, enjoying life, and as soon as I have the space and get over paint block, I will start working on new work.
I actually need to get active, go to gallery openings, spread my business cards, and apply to shows using my senior work. I'm getting there. It's just taking a while to adjust, given the main thing is making sure I can get by. However, that is getting settled, which means I can start working with the materials I have since my shop lets me take leftover materials that would be thrown in the trash otherwise.
I plan on updating more, and maybe even reworking a few things on this blog and my site. So, as always, I am artistically developing---just in the city that has my heart.
