just wanted to make a comment on what i do everyday to keep inspired and my mind juggling with creativity...
i follow blog/subscriptions on my google reader. in an assortment of 50+ feeds they tell news of urban vinyl toys, art culture, life, spirituality, frustrations, lifestyle, more art. without it, my brain i think will be fried! but here's one that's stunned me until now that cannot compare to me feeding off art from computer screens -- one of the most amazing man made masterpiece ever...
given that Florence had so much art to give...this was simply, WOW impressive. my husband and i could not walk away from the Accademia without sneaking a picture (respectively took it without the flash). the only sad thing is this...
the outside of the Accademia filled with graffiti. :/ i wonder if they've ever tried cleaning it up. it certainly deserves it.
nonetheless...while i re-charge myself with art online, seeing works like michelangelo's DAVID is something i can take with me forever. i wish that art produced by us today, will somehow withstand time like that piece of marble. although i know there are very few who make works of art like those i saw in Florence, i do hope that in in our new forms of canvases, like that of an "art toy" sculpted out of vinyl, we somehow make the master's like michelangelo proud...that even if it's not as grand like they did before us, we are still doing what we love...and that we are doing art in our own way.
yeahhh i know...it just still doesn't seem as crazy as the guy who carved marble in 2 years and made a goliath out of david (yep, pun intended! :p). but hey, on my end...i'm going to keep on...and keep on with my hands.
