Hey, I found this on the net; A check list for a "good work space". - Here's my responses. Hope I did OK. Here’s a personal checklist for creating a workspace that keeps you inspired, creative, and prolific. Color = energy. - So splattered paint is good, right? A daily fire library. - I have no idea what that means, other than fire one up every day? Music that keeps you creative. - Martin Denny, Alice Cooper, Lex Baxter, KISS, Don Tiki, Lefthead, The Crazed Mugs, Ape, Judas Priest, Cumbustible Edison, Tikiyaki Orchestra, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Arthur Lyman, Gene Rains, Yma Sumac, Nine Inch Nails, The Ghastly Ones, Jimmy Vargas, The Aqua Velvets, and Clouseaux (lagoon is still one of the best exotica albums of all time, I think) and if that fails, I listen to the Quiet Village Pod Cast! Let the light shine in. - I got two windows. and six lights. Keep it clean. - Hmmmm... define "clean" please. Map your flow. - What the...? Keep your reasons why where you can see them. - My over due bills are taped on the wall above my desk. (Well, that and I also write across the top of each month of my calendar "No Matter What Happens Don't Stop Making Art!") Get a good chair - sit in a chair, kneel, stand ...with a bad back, ya' gotta move around a bunch, but these old bones do start to ache. Then out comes the rum! Do the basic ergonomics. -Gonna' guess that means I can see my computer, and my canvas, ...when I have my glasses on. Create a space for scheming. - A Bottle of rum and a nice comfy rug on the floor in the corner. Get the tools you need. - Well, I got some brushes from Ace Hardware. Had a sale! Check the Feng Shui. - I got some "asian art" on my shelfs... See? Notebooks. - Got lots of sketch books, old comics, and some great old art books by folks like Frazetta and Robert Williams, and of course, the Book of Tiki! 14.Vision statement. - Hmmm, guess that's back to the shelfs of "Inspirational reference material" There, that should do the trick. Godzilla is Feng Shui, right? Or maybe they want I should move my mug collection in my art studio? Naw, I'd get get paint on 'em! OkeeDookee, done. Great! I think my studio's all set to be a "creative space"! Ready! Time to make "Tiki Art"! ALOHA! [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2013-04-07 19:18 ]
