list created by keri smith(from her *free* artist's survival kit)
i'm a recovering designer of mass production.
i used to be in fashion for years + years.
i came out of it jaded + feeling quite uncreative.
not that i'm dissing the industry or the trade,
it's just that i got lost in it. BIG time.
i started pink mist industry as an outlet
to get back in touch with that creative side,
if it still existed.
i discovered that embroidering cards by hand
(take a looooong time + hurt my fingers)
has been very therapeutic.
it's tactile, personal, intimate.
makes me feel like an artist again
(w/ its misery + all).
luckily, i have this list to remind me
how NOT to fall back into the dark side.
ultimately, it's not about what i DO,
but who i AM as an artist.
i'm back.
