article: better late than never, right? | written down

so I have known about this art journal challenge since it started, and I wanted to join…but I procrastinated…..I couldn’t afford it, I didn’t have time, I cant draw, why would I keep a journal anyway, who the hell am I to consider myself an artist…..

so yeah I am sure you know the excuses….

but I am so lost right now. I am moving back to my home city at the end of the year, and I am applying to study art/photography at university. I’m almost 28 – and yes I am nuts enough to start study all over again and this time do something that makes me HAPPY instead of what I should do or what will translate into fame and fortune later. Pftt…what a lie that was!

So other than a photography folio and some scrapbook pages, I have nothing artistic to show when I hopefully land interviews for entry. And the likelihood is that the academic artistic types who interview me are going to be miffed that I thought scrapbooking is an art form….after all, we’re all bored housewives, aren’t we?? (yes you can splutter in your coffee at that….you know someone actually said that to me once! – a man of course).

So I am here, I’m late but I am here and my only aim is to finish this challenge before December when the interviews will be. I plan on showing them my art journal – yes I mentioned before I was crazy, didn’t I? – and hope that further inspiration stems from it so I can go there and knock their socks off – or knock their heads off if they say NO!!

By the way…..

I’m Kass, 27 year old married with no kids, 2 Pugs and a dream….
