So I haven't been feeling very well for the past few weeks. I don't know what it is, it might be because I made myself sneeze really really hard, twice, and I think I tricked my body into thinking i was sick by accident. Well this was maybe 2 weeks ago and I still have a cough and I still have phlegm and o yeah, my one eye keeps watering up for some reason.I don't have any allergies or anything, but my one eye keeps filling with water all the time. Anyway, what this is getting at is that whenever I'm somewhat sick, I try not to let it bother me and I just shrug it off, but it doesn't really help with the recovery process very well, so I'm actually trying to rest now.
While resting however, I figured I could get some work done and started looking at my list of artists again. I came across John Baeder who is a painter. I think he might be really famous, but I don't really know. Anyway, I really like his work. It reminds me of the feel and the time period from the movie The Iron Giant. That is more of a Thanksgiving movie, but whatever.
I found a bunch of his stuff from his web site and its all pretty neat. I read his little artist statement, at least thats what I assume it is, and it's rather intriging and insightful. The way he describes his interest in his subject, I suppose, what I already got out of it, in a way at least. I think that the feeling he got when he was a kid is the same mood and feeling he projects from his paintings and it is one that I can relate to. Most of my ideas for my work comes from when I was a kid and usually has to do with a time of year or something. For example, The Iron Giant reminds me of Thanksgiving because thats when I used to watch it when I was younger so I just accosiate it was that time of year and therefore the movie gives me a feeling and a mood of Thanksgiving and brings me back to that setting, when I was younger. I am like that with a lot of things. Anyway, I should go eat now.
