One thing I have noticed though as I have gotten older is that my social circles have moved to a place where I have less contact with creative people. I do miss that. So, I'm thinking of putting together a group. Monthly meet ups, we could enter art competitions, things like that, you know, fun stuff! If you live in Swansea and are interested send me a message! I'm in the process of doing so myself. Rdquo; that I can be comfortable with. Security Check / SPAM control. Become a Mighty Artist!

http://www.wolfecity.co.uk/blog1/the_welsh_hills_have_no_eyes...or_wifi....
The welsh hills have no eyes.or wifi. The country side was beautiful. I truly didn't expect to see such beautiful rolling hills, inspiring coast lines and wonderful sights on the welsh coast ( including spotting a pod of dolphins! Me and Stu went to a lodge to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and we took the dog with us. It was rural, welsh speaking and tucked away in the middle of no where. There was no wifi, no phone reception and 4 tv channels. So I'm back to being florence nightingale! The last one w...

Ryan James | About time Mr Wolfe | Blog : When is the right time to create?
http://www.wolfecity.co.uk/blog1/when_is_the_right_time_to_create_
When is the right time to create? I understand that there is divine timing in everything. Creations are born THROUGH you and not neccesarily FROM you. On their way out of your body and system they pick up on fragments of your experience and use that to launch themselves into the world around you. I have found it so much more beneficial to treat my creative process with that type of detachment. Am I right? I fit in my creativity and my projects in and around my day job. Fortunately my day job offers m...

Turns out editing a novel that you thought/hoped was done is a complete pain in the ass. What's even more irritating is that the criticism I got from my second opinion was absolutely correct. Now that I see the mistakes that I've made I can't believe I missed them! When it's your own work you only ever look at it technically but when it's someone else's you're able to see the beauty in it straight away. So take your time. Take breaks.

Ryan James | About time Mr Wolfe | Blog : I forgot to mention...
http://www.ryanjamesmusic.com/blog1/i_forgot_to_mention...
I forgot to mention. I can sit in a room with 5 blank canvases and immediately also find 7 things on Netflix that I absolutely MUST watch this very instant. The reason for this little project is just to up my productivity. I'm not going to put an insane deadline on myself but I am going to ensure that I push myself to get things done! Oh, forgot to mention. I'm finally debt free! Well, credit card debt anyway but that's finally done! I may buy some new hats! Sat in Costas in uplands folding paper.

Ryan James | About time Mr Wolfe | Blog : Are we all afraid of the "D" word?... Discipline!
http://www.ryanjamesmusic.com/blog1/are_we_all_afraid_of_the_d_word_..._discipline
Are we all afraid of the "D" word? Creative discipline is one of the hardest things to tackle when you work for yourself. Every Sunday I have a routine where I give myself a list of what I want to do within that week. I ALWAYS put too much on it and at times I have held myself hostage to that list but to be honest, it ALWAYS means that I get more done than I would have without it. It might help other artists!

Ryan James | About time Mr Wolfe | Blog : Leave it alone!
http://www.ryanjamesmusic.com/blog1/leave_it_alone
Intuitive timing in creativity is, in my opinion, the absolute turning point in whether a project is a success or not. Knowing when to put something down for a while or leave it and move onto something else is crucial in making sure that you take the best from whatever you are creatively invested in. I certainly have been guilty of this. Start a project, work on a project, finish a project. Seems simple right? I hope the creative education system has changed since my time there and from what I am hearing...
