ArtWorking In CloseBrian Oberkirch | Jan 11 2008“Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.” — Chuck Close
It may be that I like hearing about the work habits of writers and artists I like almost as much as I like their work. How do you force yourself to do work no one (really, like, no one) is clamoring for, in addition to doing the long apprentice work you need to do to build your chops? As most of our work gets less structured and more creative, it might prove helpful to take a look at how artists get their stuff done.

Art & GTDBrad Blackman | Apr 21 2006This topic has been incubating in my brain the past few weeks, and I'm getting it to where it can be reasonably put together. It's partially a response to kenzi's thread, GTD and the creative life...possible? (N.B.-I haven't put it into practice yet for fine art, but I can see how it would work in theory since it works so well for design projects.) Art isn't always created in a linear fashion, but for the most part I'd say art creation usually follows this general process: POSTED IN:
