I can't believe its been over a year since I've posted here. Having three blogs off different subjects yet all tied in to each other sometimes I can't access this blog from certain devices.
I will do better and work on some new projects and revisit some old ones.
With all the social media around I just take a break from different areas until I feel as if I have something to say.
The library has become my source for art. Educating and discovering new artists and things that hey have done that are of interest to me.
Because art covers more than one area, my film blog gets the movies, films and documentaries and Open Your Mind that is my main blog, sometimes they cross over and I need to include this blog in that conversation as well.
I've been off for a few weeks now and I am trying to get inspired to draw again. Perhaps even do some painting. I did do some photographs of myself that I want to eventually post. I've been trying to get back into the fashion side of my art and using myself as I am looking for people of a certain age that are still fashionable. The focus is for people 50 and up, but still there are some younger people with an eclectic fashion sense.
I went to see a movie about the incredible fashion designer Alexander McQueen. I didn't know his history, I just loved his designs and the presentation in the fashion shows. He was a genius and he was not afraid to go after something. Once people realized what he had, they went after him. He continued to create his own designs as well as putting out the collections for Givenchy. It was not easy on him and eventually he just couldn't take it any more.
Earlier this week I saw a documentary called Dior and I which was about the house of Dior bringing in a new designer to work on the Haute Couture collection. It's very entertaining as well as colorful and insightful.
