Toooooo many art ideas… SOS….please

The title of this blog post may sound like a brag or at least “a nicer problem to have”. Don’t get me wrong, I accept and maybe even value this in myself plus I’m aware this is a common double edged sword among artists. But…it feels like I have been spinning around with all these ideas for so long going nowhere much.

Think of a tornado- the ideas all twisting and spinning round, objects (or ideas in my metaphor) regularly being spat out and crashing brutally to the ground along with my confidence in my own follow-throughability.

Today is massive though, it marks the beginning of me sticking to my plan. Why? Because I have recruited help and support from an absolute legend of a woman who I can’t wait to work with! Asking for help and support is not comfortable for me and that’s something I want to change about me. Thankfully I do get to pay for this service but I can already tell after one session with Claudia that what I’ve paid financially for her input will be the tiniest price to pay for what she’ll be bringing to me and my art practice.

It wasn’t so much that I didn’t have a plan, I just didn’t know if it was the right plan. I have spent a lot of time running my plan past people who aren’t going to be able to affirm my proposals to them about my art business plan because the people I’ve been running it past don’t know about art or business. I wonder if any other artists out there relate to attempting to gain affirmation from friends who don’t have the knowledge to give it… not fun…. And I imagine it’s not so great on the other side either. Apologies friends!

So, my plan.
