2011: Year of the Artist

2011 is all about THE YEAR OF THE ARTIST. i've been so fixated on making my home a home, which as you know was much needed and i'm still working at my j.o.b but hopefully not for much longer. with age comes wisdom and i'm realizing i Maya Washington was born to explore and have fun. i'm most sane when i'm busy investing myself in all things that inspire and move me. unlike some of my neighbours i can and am talented in many avenues and yes i need focus on the task at hand but i also need to stay true to me. while i admire those that have 1 sole calling i have many and i need to honour that. and my talents aren't necessarily so segregated: I LOVE CREATING-simple as that and whatever that involves. having said that this year will be a busy one. i'm kickin it into over drive with the following 2011 goals:

- film projects: shorts, music videos, indies
- script: research, study, interview, write
- voice demo: revamp and promote both here in NY and LA
- photography: shoot consistently whether personal or business
- educate myself on the business side of arts through work and/or self education
- demand the best of myself through full commitment to goals

i'm filled with heat and the fire is where i thrive best. enough with the playin' it safe and back into the pit i go :)

have you ever read The Renaissance Soul? It's a book about creatives that have multiple creative goals. it's a great book and helps you to appreciate all of your interests. wish you the best as i'm in the same boat :-)

Wow, reading that just put an extra spark on my rear! I've been feeling the same. I love to create, being hands on...by the time I get home from my FT job, I'm tired, and I'm making sure that now I put in no less than 5 mins every day on something creative, for my future. I want to create art for a living...not just Fine Art. Thanks for writing this!
