Determined.

I am determined to do a couple things one is to take a shower in this bathroom this weekend and two is to get the hell out of Mass. the first week of October. Working all the time has left me with a craving to make art. I am friends with this art teacher on Flickr and seeing her pics really makes me want to make work and it also makes me want to teach again. We can change the world and I don’t mean in that politician way of speaking, because lets face it the words politician and change are just not a reality. We can do it though just people speaking out saying our minds. Get off your lazy asses and say something, do something, make something, be something; the world is worth a lot of effort. I do not believe we are a lost cause, I believe we are on the cusp of greatness. Make something, say something, be something, and while you are doing it think about someone other than yourself.

I could have cheaped out and left this wall with no bracing to support it. Shit once someone buys the place it is not my problem right? Screw that! It is just that attitude that makes the world such a shitty place. No one thinks about anything except themselves. Be responsible think about how the decision you make will effect not only yourself in the years to come but how it could effect others. Do something, make something, be something.

Tonight I figured out my layout for these shower floor tiles. I am using leftovers from about six different jobs but I don’t want it to look like that so I came up with this pattern. It actually looks like a couple other shower floors I have done. The drain is off center thanks to some bad planning from who ever did the downstairs bathroom framing. In order to center this drain I would have had to do some really crazy framing that would have had me opening up my downstairs bathroom ceiling so I decided that the gain of two and a half inches to center the drain was not worth the effort. I don’t think I have ever tiled a shower floor in an old farm house where the drain was centered. It adds to the charm.

Soon I will actually start talking about art again. I can’t wait. Until then Do Something, Make Something, Be Something.
