Art is a Kind of Illness Part six

The recently finished Faith Mission online shop has been exciting to see, thats my day job, as a lot of you will know! I have produced a ton of stuff over the last few years that has been seem by relatively small amounts of people, its all good and i have gained experience in how to & how not to do things. The last 6 months have been interesting with the usual crippling doubts about whether i am doing the right thing mixed in with excitement about new projects, new people and new creativity. Last saturday a group of people got together to discuss creativity, we ate breakfast, enjoyed getting to know each other a bit better and spent most of the day finding common ground, sharing ideas and work. It is the beginning of something.
On thursday Nigel and i got together to discuss Rob and then yesterday morning i met Rob for the second time to discuss setting up a blog for him, integrating his work and his life into web2.0 and collaborating. This guy is the real deal, a hugely talented gentleman who oozes creativity and inspiration. He is Scottish but we won't let that come between us!!
I have also just began work on an artwork concept for an E.P. by Compass, our good friends and Norwegian brothers from other mothers! These guys are also the real deal, genuine and honest about what they are doing, why they are doing it, they mean it. I am excited about the current ideas and what they could become.
I am also working on a concept for a website for Church, primarily for the youth of the Church. I have that underway with a good concept/idea started, this is very exciting and should end up looking very cool. Its great to see how we are breaking new ground, creating something within our walls, that is not being done in 'the Church' in Northern Ireland, watch this space!

So, all that aside i have no time to do anything else and with that, i am glad. When i look at these projects i have a satisfaction that i am working alongside like-minded people and creating worthwhile material, with a purpose and an aim. I still doubt myself, doubt my ability, have moments of anxiety about doing too much, doing too little etc etc etc etc
