I've been really interested in stencils lately. Creating my own and using them to paint.

I just need ideas on where to start and what to do with them.

I need some sort of starting point other than just the idea of stencils. I need subject matter. I'm also playing with fonts right now and placement.

I'm enjoying my studies. Right now its spring break.

I'm thinking of taking a trip to Chicago next week. An art prof. of my suggested I go to more art museums. He said in a roundabout way that I have good ideas just not enough content. So I'm making it a goal of mine to venture out and go see more.

I only wish everything didn't cost so much. I can stay with a friend in Chicago and I plan to go there n the days that a few museums are free but still its going to be about $60 in gas alone... uhhhhg.

Mom did say she wanted to go to the art museum in Toledo with me so that will help with cutting costs on that trip.

I also hope to go down to Cincy because there are a few museums I want to see there too.

I just dont want to overdo it all at once. I think the point he was trying to make was to give myself some time and some goals to let the artwork affect me and what not.

Maybe I should start watching the history channel more? Oh wait I ont have cable DOH!

anyway this is all just babble.

Feel free to send me some ideas of things you think might be cool for me to work with!

I need to learn how to wander. Then I might be able to come up with better idea?

It might also help if I actually had some artistic friends.
