Idea No. 1: The Idea Blog

So I had an idea.  What if I blogged a new idea every day?

I am currently giving my website a makeover.  It didn’t function the way I wanted it to as an art portfolio because I focused too much on my blog and yet I wasn’t happy with what I was writing on my blog.  I want to be interesting, personal, and interactive while managing to explain who I am and what I do.  (Here’s a clue: I make stuff).

One of the most integral parts of my character is that I make things.  Constantly.  Things that look good, that look bad, that never get finished, that get finished too quickly, and some things that actually work.  Everything I make starts as an idea.  What if I made my own canvases?  What if I played an Am chord after that F chord?  What if I wrote a story about a woman who could speak any language?

These are all examples of ideas that turned into my art.  But I have other ideas, ones that never make it past blipping through my mind.  What if I made a blanket big enough to cover a building?  What if I completely decorated my front door in hand drawn leaves?  What if I said hello to every person I saw on the street?  What if I put all of my dinner into a food blender and drank a dinner smoothie?

So many ideas occur to me everyday, and if you look deep enough, I think you’ll see that just as many occur to you.  What I want to do with this blog is give credence to those ideas, good and bad, small and large, plausible and fictitious.  I want to share the ideas that have inspired me, the ones that I hear on the street or during dinner with a friend.

Hopefully this first idea will actually happen.  Otherwise I just completely rearranged my site for something that might never work.
