With the submission deadline for my contribution to Art House Co-op’s 2013 Sketchbook Project just days away, the blog is taking a backseat to my art. As I allow this creative work to consume me, I can’t help but relate to this story about Nathan (no, not my Nate), but another extraordinarily talented Nathan who is making money pursuing his passion sculpting in legos: http://www.fastcocreate.com/1682144/making-lego-into-art-nathan-sawayas-impossible-brick-sculptures?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+fastcompany%2Fheadlines+%28Fast+Company%29#1
After spending some time in a dual role, his decidedly pedestrian career by day and artwork nights and weekends, the catalyst he needed to make the leap to fulltime artist presented itself. Reading the story it dawned on me that I’m in that very same place right now. At any moment the stars could align and I could find myself fully immersed in the business of doing what I love. How cool is that?
