Does Life Just Happen

Between my artwork, plumbing, and my everyday stuff, my life can be very busy.  Let’s see, I’m working on reestablishing a decent number of art pieces to start selling my artwork and at the same time there’s my plumbing career.  Over the last three years my life has taken some unusual turns, I had a marriage that ended, the construction field that bottomed out, and a lot of moving around.  I had to leave family to find work and now I’m working on settling in to my new life (from Florida to California).

My new life consists of: creating artwork, working on building my plumbing company, working on my new relationships, and doing the best I can to maintain my now long-distance relationship with my son.  So, does life just happen?  I don’t know, the jury still out on that one.

As you can see, I’ve been working on revamping my artwork.  I can say this, if it wasn’t for all the life-changing, my artwork would still basically be the same, but it’s not now.  My artwork is changing, and I have to say I like the direction, no matter the cause or circumstances.  I’m challenging myself more in creative ideas and level of skill.  And I’m also working a lot more diligently trying to get established and succeed as an artist.

So, the question again, does life just happen?  Recently my girl decided to get rid of a small not so attractive tattoo, and being who she is, she did not want to make the same mistake twice.  She looked diligently for a good artist, and finally found one.  Who goes by the name of Bugs and I have to say he does very unique artwork on the human body.  I’ve been sitting in on the sessions, keeping myself busy, usually reading.  The last time I went I decided to bring some small pieces that I’ve been working on.  When Bugs noticed what I was doing before he started, he came over to see my work.  He seemed to find an interest in it and asked that we keep in touch.  Bugs likes to restore old cars and improve on them in style, and he thought my particular skill could be useful.

So let’s see what happens from here.  And it’s all because of three little figures I was working on while trying to not be bored.  Now we’re starting the possibilities of the new artistic relationship.  And I sent him an e-mail, showing him the completion of the pieces I was working on and one other interesting small piece that he might find interesting.

Remember, whatever life brings your way, always stand up.  Don’t get paved under the new road, walk upon it.  See where it goes with your head held high, and always keep on trying in whatever you do.

Keep on creating,
Ken
