Illustration Friday: Lova (Happy New Year from DREGstudios!)

This week's theme at Illustration Friday is "Resolutions."  My entry for this week is from my Random Acts of Vibrance series (which will be in progress until next year.)  All the works under this theme have central figures with either lightbulb heads or lampshade heads who "turn themselves on" and "get an idea" so to speak.  Each creates and captures a moment of inspiration.

New Year's resolutions are our ultimate acts of inspiration.  Whether they are forced spontaneously or planned for months, they are your deal with the universal spirit to accomplish something.  Seize the inspiration and live it and believe it.  Live your dream and the dream is real... just realize it may be here and you not see it.  You have to be it before you consciously realize it.  We don't become masters of our crafts, purposes, and dreams overnight. The Secret to the Universe is positive visualization.  Write your goals down and see what you want.  We have to see it with our mind's eye in order to achieve it and take that next step in the evolutionary chain... get that next link locked in your journey.  See something for yourself today and believe in it... for real.

Here are my top two personal resolutions for next year...

1.  Launch iLLAMENTARY as an online publication to create interest in and allow access to Pop Surrealist and Low Brow arts in the South...  Tha dirty needs a rag, we're gonna get it!

2.  Turn a profit.  This will be just the third year I've filed taxes as a professional artist and haven't achieved this.  I'm not saying I didn't make money, I just spent a lot more than I made!  It's a good thing I promise, I look at it like pulling back the sling-shot... it can only go back so far before we go sailing much much further and much faster the other direction.  This is an ongoing goal since I made the same one last year.  My earnings did increase around 500% this year so I'm optimistic.

See you in 2011!  Much love and adoration from DREGstudios!

What are your resolutions for 2011?
