        To be honest, what I see when I look at my meta assignment map is a cycle. The creative cycle is kind of never ending. Just like today, and the past few days, all I have been doing is working on art. I haven’t had the thinking space to post this on my blog, and as a result, I probably got an F. But I still think the most important part of this class, and as an artist, is the produce good work. I’d rather have an A on what is ultimately the main focus. This may sound like an excuse (it is not, because I still got the bad grade), but it’s a good thing that I’m always busy, whether for class, or for my personal art which is my source of income and acts as a part-time job. Setting and maintaining goals, regardless of shortcomings or both rational and irrational frustration and disappointment is important. Insecurity keeps us going. The music producer Tokimonsta said that in an interview, and it’s true. When we become comfortable is when we die. As an artist, I’m most comfortable knowing that I’m constantly changing both as a person intangibly, and in a very literal, tangible sense with my artwork. I think the most important thing I should note about my creative process is that after the focus and resolution comes the reflection, which ultimately results in a sense of closure from any project or series of projects. The same can be applied to life in general. Always do, do, do. Think too, but always be doing, and also thinking about doing, if that makes any sense.
