"Relics"



Moving into winter I started getting cabin fever. You sit around not sure what to do next, space out, sleep during the day, can't pull your thoughts together. Stuck with my art and just about everything else, I decided to start reading about innovation. The best book in the pile is Scott Berkun's "The Myths of Innovation". One of the myths is that to get started, you must develop an enormous list of ideas.

Instead, he suggests that you start working with one idea, preferably a project already underway. Gradually I fell back on track. While reading, I worked at my art and strangely, seemingly out of nowhere, I came up with a new effect. Here's a sample above. When I create enough pieces, I've been promised a show in my neighborhood sometime in 2011.
