Lose the moss.

Dear Diary: It's been an exciting month. A lot of changes are taking place, and for starters I'm putting the charcoal down for a while. It's big, it's cumbersome, it's oppressive, it's bad for your lungs and skin, and most importantly it's quite a lot of black. It's hard to stand up and look at that much black day after day, it's unnecessary, so the wet mediums are less dangerously alluring to me at the moment. I'm going around asking everyone how they mix their mediums. Watch out.

Secondly, I've agreed to begin opening deliberations for the deliberating process of relocating to another city. Without knowing exactly how feasable it even is to relocate at the current time, I'm interested in leaving Richmond for Philadelphia by the upcoming Fall. Change of scenery, bigger art scene, bigger city, mass transit, more opportunity, and the first real change of scenery in 10 years are all primary motivations. Inhibitions: money, time, place to work, place to live. First up to bat will be finding a place to work and saving money. A few friends and I have agreed to make some reconnaisance trips up there between now and June and I've got my current boss looking into whether or not I might be able to transfer employment up north. Wheels in motion, only time can tell.
