In order to motivate myself to move past this creative slump I’m in I go online and look at really bad sunflower art. By the time I’m done my eyes are all but bleeding. When I see some sort of grandiose muck up of a perfect flower I want to yell to the artist , “Oh my God, what have you done?” I’ve found that this extreme form of motivation works wonders for me.
It’s just that I can’t stand to see bad sunflower art. It hurts me, it hurts me deep where my soul is. After recovering from self inflicted sunflower wounds I realize I must, must pick up my brush and counteract all this criminally horrible sunflower art.
I leave you with this, just because the flower is big it doesn’t mean you have to get all crazy with your painting. Just because the flower is larger than life it doesn’t mean you need to add stupid crap in there like say an ape in overalls or a naked fat lady holding a tiny man in the palm of her hand. Don’t go too far! If you start thinking along the lines of throwing a one eyed dead fish next to a sunflower for a photograph then stop, take a deep breath and ask yourself, WWSD.
What Would Sundrip Do?
I need to meditate now and purify myself of all this bad sunflower juju. Basically this means I’m going to bed. Respect the sunflower people, respect the flower.
