To call myself an artist at this point in time sounds
pretentious. An artist has a vision, a message they wish to convey through
whatever work they produce. I unfortunately, do not have a clear idea what that
is. However, I know that I am still learning and absorbing all that I can so I am
not discouraged. To say I'm passionate about one particular form of art would
be a lie because my interests have not always been linear.
I enjoy writing, I
find it to be cathartic in a sense. I am a quiet person, talking is not one of
my strong suites, but with writing it's different (mostly because I'm evading
conversation) because it's freeing and there are no rules when I write. There
is no syntax, there is no grammar, there is no proper punctuation; it's a free
flow.
Like many people I also enjoy watching TV. One of my
favorite shows of all time is Mad Men. Every time I watch it I not only
appreciate the amazing script which provides such an in depth character
development, but the setting and keen attention to detail to properly display
that time period. It’s such a well thought out show that never ceases to amaze
me. The creator of that show, Matthew Weiner has in a way become an inspiration
for me. It made me interested not only in setting and design but also in
creating my own piece that could be so intricate and layered like his work.
