2012CreativeProject

"We write because we have to." W. Somerset Maugham

We all have thoughts, ideas, passions, creative impulses... we are artists. I believe that by sharing our art we have nothing to lose but our inhibitions, and everything to gain. Our art is our contribution to the world. This is my contribution.

Please enjoy the 2012CreativeProject. A quest to overcome my introverted nature in an effort to share my talents, dreams and goals (no matter how big or small). This project is about creatively sharing our daily pursuits and passions. If you would like to participate please tag your creative posts with #2012CreativeProject or send them to me and I will post them here. Tumble on friends!

Net sculptures by Janet Echelman

Inspired by the local materials and culture of Mahabalipuram, an Indian fishing village, American Artist Janet Echelman creates volumetric fishing net sculptures that could be the scale of a large building but remain light enough to ripple in the wind, constantly reshaping the net and creating ever-changing patterns.

For those of you following my 2012CreativeProject, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Various things have kept me from spending much time online (including an evil bout of food poisoning and the flu) and my Droid has all but died on me. Fret not my friends! I have still been working on my Creative Bucket List and creating various new pieces of art/writing/pictures to share. Now I must find the time to load them. 

Don’t forget to submit your own 2012CreativeProject pieces to be shared with everyone!

I previously mentioned that one of my projects I’d like to complete prior to my August 1 birthday is to run a half marathon in under 01:50:00. Today I ran 5 miles in 00:37:57 (per Nike tracker). Sub-9 minute miles equals a big accomplishment. I’m on my way!

Check out these awesome photos by my friend C.J. McCorkle submitted as part of her 2012CreativeProject!

I don’t eat/use any of this stuff. I’m off to satisfy my (sudden) burger and V8 craving…

50 Greatest Comic-Book Movie Moments

Ugh, as much as I hate this bitch, I love that fight scene. (Topheriskris)

… Agreed. Scarlett is annoying, but damn this was a bad ass fight scene. Chloe Moretz in “Kick-Ass” is better.

I’m physically and mentally exhausted, but still wide awake. My dog is fast asleep. Lucky bitch.
