striving for originality

as an artist, for me, i get bogged down at times....

There are times when i really enjoy looking at all of the work that is published...and thenthere are time when i get tired of seeing the same artists over and voer and over again and the same techiniques....

And then there are times when i ask myself...."what about me? where do i fit in?"

There was a time when i was excited about artist cards and reliqueries...and little houses...things ihad seen in the magazines...things i still enjoy looking at....but it all starts to look the same after a while...and i think i have gotten to to a point where i just have to stop looking for inspiration in techniques and come up with my own aesthetic,...which i already have....and forget at times....

so, i have deicded to limit myself on looking at other artists work for a while...i am just at a point where it isn't filling me with joy or inspiration anymore....at least for the time being...

I am going to try and just focus on my own work...and give myself a goo dkick in the bootie....
