So I have been working on my shed throughout the past month (as you have seen the start of last month) and I wanted to add an update. But in this update I wanted to talk about more then just the physical side of my progress as it is never that simple.
Why? I guess I want people to understand why I am starting this process and to assist this I want to share my thoughts more often. But also just to understand me as an artists or person. A while back in a lecture in college it was stated that "people are interested in the artist and not always just the artwork" and this has stayed with me. I can explain this another time as I must try to stay on topic.
So not only have I been working on the shed I have also been on a major search of inspiration, or general researching about materials, techniques and so on. Yet I have not done this due to any requirement but more so as it has just kind of burst out of my frustration of not thinking this way for to long.
But first the physical update for those getting bored of the mind slapsh is seperated onto the post below.

Part of my research and inspiration has been long bindge sessions on Youtube which all started when a friend posted a link on a forum for me of a Cosplay costume maker which he thought I may be interested in which I indeed was. Without all the steps included here I found Punished Props who live stream and post them onto Youtube. Punished props was a great inspirational starting point as its an area I had not look into much before this even though I have made costumes in the past.
From here I continued and found the Tested Youtube Channel and they have many videos with the Fabricator/Maker called Adam Savage, I confess that I have watch many hours of these videos on the Tube. So I wanted to share the Video below.

I cant help but think of talking to a friend about the Barbarian sculpture I made. The sculpt did cost more then I would have expected, but explained that as this was the first sculpture I had sculpted and the piece itself was not valuable because of the costs to create it. That even if I had somehow dropped and broke or ruin the sculpt, the cost and time were still worth doing as the amount I had learnt from that one sculpt was amazing and a place to start and improve upon.
Another thing I want to mention is that this kind of content that is so easily obtainable for anyone is fantastic for young creative people. I cant help but feel that if I had seen this when I was young that Adam would have been an ideal role model for myself and that I may have found more direction that I should have taken with my love of creation, crafts and arts.

This then leads me on to another thing I want to share. My Partner who knows me well sent me an image on facebook that has so much meaning for me and tugs at my emotions and I must share this and explain.
A simple cartoon but it perfectly points out how people often say what they think but did not consider what meaning or impact this may have. We should all try to be more positive in life and encourage others. Rather then tell someone why they cant do it maybe point them in the right direction or at least to someone who can. We are often shaped by people around us.
Lastly I want to share this video below. Just because I am also inspired by creative thinkers.
Since setting up my shed I have thrown myself back into a path of inspiration that can come from anywhere. I am excited to soon be working on projects again I have many more ideas and desires to fill.
