A New Day
I don’t believe that this blog has been very personal so far, as I’ve talked mostly about my art endeavers, and less about my internal wanderings. I think, that’s been telling of how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve been a bit disconnected from how I’ve felt about life, and lost a bit of the optimism of past moments. There’s a pretty real correlation between how I feel, and my outlook, and how productive and inspired I am to be be creative. I’ve struggled a bit with coming up with new and inspiring ideas as of late. While my process ( screenprinting and drawing ) is a lot more refined, my mental focus is a bit off, as I’ve wondered more and more about ‘what I’m doing’.
So, I guess this is a short statement to say that I’m struggling a bit with the scope of my work, and well, my life.
Creative takes courage, and I’m trying to hold onto that.

Hey Ben, I saw a little ditty on your site (through Sam on facebook). I didn’t know you were into photography and fine art. That is very cool. Also, your pictures are beautiful, just to let you know. Hope this message finds you well.

Hey Gilda. I saw Sam today and he kind of helped me to connect the dots. Thanks for your nice comments. I see you’re on Flickr too. Do you have a blog / info outside of Facebook ( I’m not on it ). You can write me at chiafrica+hope@gmail.com ….
