This sure counts as a "365 Post". So here goes, everyday I'm being sucked into this Internet Matrix (or Unternet) of multiple email addresses, countless instant messaging sites, and social networking. Seems like between the more I join, how involved I am and how much TV I watch is slowly but effectively weakening my creativity. Soon enough I'll be transformed from Artifex Jay, then disfigured and piled back together (using Google Gun, Mozilla Monstrosity and FB technology) to form Procrastinex J-J-Jay.
Procrastinex J-J-Jay does not draw at all. He has become a blobbing It. It uses no energy nor creativity nor can fathom the idea of ambition. It stares off into space but doesn't dream of the next wonder; It stares into the pixels of Social Identifying Statuses, Pictures of the same parties at the same faces, and Drama morphed into Mind-numbing action into Gossip. Procrastinex is living procrastination resulting from endless cybernetic and televised media. It is so distracted that simply saying and pronouncing Jay may takes at least 3 healthy tries.
The media isn't all bad, it just needs to be handled in moderation. Type, tube, view, download in moderation. The best websites to inspire the most creatively stuck souls: WoosterCollective.com, Behance.net, (technicusjay.blogspot.com - maybe), DeviantArt.com, Artcrimes.com and many more.
To increase my productivity and creativity, I'll isolate myself to only a meditative state of music, blank paper, a search engine and my art desk. And after a few hours something is started and made to be finished another day or posted for all to see. Then TV/Movies and Internet in moderation.
On another note, there's now a Twitter ArtifexJay. Whether you follow or not, I'll still be posting artwork (or randomness) on here everyday until the end of 2011.
On another note once more, I have a Behance page as well to showcase some art projects.
(Ignore the first 2 paragraphs, there'll be a Drawing for Tomorrow's Post)
