Summer is unofficially here! And I'm still officially unemployed. Words of advice: DO NOT agree to a phone interview. Trying to talk to 3 people on speaker phone is annoying and dumb. Before this disaster, I did have a great interview at an Art & Framing Gallery earlier last week. Although the position is part time, it would be perfect.
It is a small gallery in a historical, tourist town in the woods and it holds a variety of artwork of about 32 local artists. Most of the work I saw there was actually quite amazing. I distinctly remember a sculpture of twisted metal spikes pointing towards the ceiling, very cool botanical collages, and everything else from unique jewelery designs, abstract paintings, and of course landscapes. There is always someone who feels so inclined to paint landscapes... it's almost like a functioning gallery requirement. Gotta have landscapes.
I hate landscapes.
I also realized that I hate pencils. I haven't sketched with one in years, and after attempting to draw my aforementioned [and still unfinished] picture, I may never use them again. Using a pencil forces you to also use its convenient eraser, which for a perfectionist like me is not a good idea - it took me forever to sketch the damn thing. That's why I like pen & ink; the mark is permanent, so any "mistakes" are worked into the image. That's when your work really becomes your own.
I want this album. And you should too. Seriously, check them out and prepare to be transformed.
