today i've been thinking a lot about my community studio idea. basically the idea came when i was thinking that a community with a viable artistic base should create their own studio which would be open to, well, the community. nadine baum studios is similar to this, being a non-profit that offers community classes. but i've been thinking more along the lines of a shared space where artist can come and go as they please. i googled "community studio" to see what i could find, and there are several community art studios, mainly in big cities on the west coast. if you're not in school taking classes in a studio, or not rich enough to have you're own awesome studio space, there isn't really anything available. i'm longing for such a space today. i find it difficult to work on my art at home because there are so many other distractions. the lighting isn't very good at my house either. maybe someone in fayetteville will share this idea and actually make it happen.

until then, i'm off to work in my distracting, poorly lit environment.

You make it sound very traumatic to work on art at home. It's probably Gu's fault anyway....
