Welcome to My Brain

If you are a quiet person I think you will agree with me that just because you are not saying anything doesn’t mean you have nothing to say. For me this is true. I find the quieter I am the more thoughts I’m having. And sometimes when I’m talking there’s not much going on in my head, it’s all coming out of my mouth ;p

So as you can see I’m starting a blog, and for my first entry I want to identify reasons why.

 

Getting Advice

I’m not infallible. 
And I’m sure everything I make falls short of being good. 
But through opening up about the many things that I encounter in life and hearing your input, I can gain a wealth of understanding that I can use in the artistic endeavors I voyage upon.

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.

To Talk About Stuff

Sure I make art and a painting is supposed to be worth a thousand words. But words still have great worth too. The Bible is full of them after all.
I aim to create posts that are simple, engaging and even entertaining. Pointing out things that may go unnoticed in my art. I have done a similar thing in the past but it was too difficult to maintain when hard coding everything. In recent days I’ve learnt to use the crutch that is WordPress and it’s making all this website stuff a lot easier.
Sometimes people will see something of mine and be totally clueless afterwards. A picture may be worth a thousand words but it’s no good if they can’t interpret the picture.

Communicate Better

Growing up I found the best way of getting things off my mind was to write and draw, but mainly writing. If drawing with a lot on my mind, my drawing books would often have much written words to go with it. Now being married I don’t write as much ‘cause I have my wife who graciously listens to my seemingly endless tangents of thoughts. Though, even still I have more things to say ;p
So many things in life are connected and it can be very difficult to even have a linear, one word at a time, conversation about anything. So this will be good practice in organising my thoughts and may even be able to communicate more effectively in other areas too.

Conclusion of the Beginning 

So yeah… These are the goals, we’ll see what happens.
Growing up I’d often make a checklist of things to do; to create good habits and be productive in the life given to me. It would last for a while but that legalism never lasted. Hmm, did I just shoot myself in the foot?…
Anyways… Look out for more words from my fingertips or thumbs (if writing on a phone [I assure you the writing quality will not be diminished either way]).
