What Have You Been Working On?

I used to love when people asked me that question. It would give me an opportunity to outline the plot of my latest novel or tell them about the film script I just finished. I might have tried to explain the concept of my interactive paintings or describe some strange sculpture I was planning to make out of bent saplings. 

As one gets older one becomes less self-absorbed. I still get up in the morning happy to have another day to experience and share with others, but I'm less inclined to think that my artistic creations have much if any importance. My work will not change the world, nor is it likely to last as long as the solid houses others once built out of logs or stone. 

For the past year I've been working on a handful of diverse projects all at once. I'm in no particular hurry to finish any of them. When I get a chance, I'll post a few bits and pieces.

You know, when some people ask you what you're working on, they're genuinely interested. I'd love to see some more of your work. Actually, I just began my own portfolio blog (shameless self promotion: akryan.blogspot.com) and backdated a bunch of entries to help backup my information. It's going to prove to be very useful.

Anyway, I hope to see some more of your work. I particularly like the imagery and photographs you use. :)
