I see you as an ...This is not how I see you at all. I see you as an artist. An extremely generous one too. I appreciate your sharing of the different perspectives of being an artist immensely. I admire that you grab the business side to art by the horns the way you do, and am always very inspired by your posts - the Art as Business ones as well as your many other posts.<br />I can't imagine any of this being this awesome without the honesty and openess you give. And with an honest and open life comes, I guess - surely mine does too - struggles, ups and downs, flow and no flow at all.<br /><br />I love how you illustrated this post; your painting seen through bars, not all of it shoving. This is very much what we do here, isn't it? Share little bits of our lives, and leave it up to the reader to fill in the blanks. I think Tereza has a point - naturally we fill in with what we know to be true.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your journey :-) and for shining through as beautifully as you do! :-)Christine Clemmensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762234134270271210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-968625254924422692010-04-29T18:41:18.800+02:002010-04-29T18:41:18.800+02:00Alexandra, i love every single word in this monolo...Alexandra, i love every single word in this monologue of yours. honest, brave and true = you.<br />thing is, people will read and interpret stuff quite often from the perspective/situation that they see/encounter themselves in... <br />and no, you never come across as they described. although your admirable honesty for posting about disappointments and rejection ( yes, we all go through them in this industry) may have led one or two people to perceive you as you described they did. obviously, they haven't understood the context in which you post those (a series, a journey with its ups and downs) dohhh <br />i'm guessing this perception didn't come from people who have been following your work/blog as often and for as long as i have, for example....<br />keep up the great work and stay true to your beliefs girl! it's all we can do. we cannot be responsible for how other people choose to perceive us...<br />excellent post, and as ever i love your sense of humour and 'arrogance' too hehehee. all wrapped up in a great little bundle of wit and most of all talent!●• Therezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859002555820115858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-66792744680094612682010-04-29T15:54:36.349+02:002010-04-29T15:54:36.349+02:00hello!

I've been a fan of your blog for a while (although a silent one) and i never got an impression of fear. the reason i like your blog (and what, i believe, differs you from many other art bloggers) is you honest approach to art, creativity and art as business and i admire you for writing about it in such realistic and open way.Asjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801555614125403886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-70201908216748596332010-04-29T15:30:50.199+02:002010-04-29T15:30:50.199+02:00Thank you all for your interesting comments!

I think it's a good thing, though. Art is not an ordinary occupation !

Du ser Dig själv och Ditt arbete väldigt seriöst. Det finns ingenting hos Dig som ens andas av dom gamla trötta janteföreställningarna! <br />Du strukturerar upp och visar allt arbete som måste göras utöver det rena skapandet. Du gör det bra, och generöst. Dessutom är det folkbildande, vilket jag tycker är trevligt.hanna-happeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140027059179210145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-19854336455103293732010-04-29T09:32:29.883+02:002010-04-29T09:32:29.883+02:00- grej = vad du gör och vart du vill.- grej = vad du gör och vart du vill.Camilla Engmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641421576820239793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-45199458728454245072010-04-29T09:31:07.646+02:002010-04-29T09:31:07.646+02:00Absolutely not!

You are simply showing the details of ...no, no, no! You are simply showing the details of being and artist and the struggle that sometimes comes with making ends meet as one. I really enjoy reading about your goals and how you are meeting them (or not) and how you plan to bring your ideas to fruition while trying to make a living of it. I've never felt any vibe of questioning your artistry, that part seems like a given. I have your Evaluation starred to be read when I get some more time on the computer...I really need to emulate your deadline process :)<br />p.s.
