One of the most common questions last night at the screening of Art Erotica The Movie was, "Are you excited?" I had a hard time answering that question. What drives me is the creative process and knowing that it has touch someone. Celebrating the completion of a project, seems foreign. Plus, it is hard for me to accept praise; even from myself. That sucks! It robs other people from the joy of celebrating with me, being happy for me, or feeding me energy. Someone looking at me straight in the eye and saying "great job" or "I am proud of you" is intense for me; much more than if someone is critical. Criticism puts me back into the creative process. LOL, I actually feel more comfortable with someone telling me they did not something about my art, than raving about it. That seems backwards. I need to learn to be gracious and thankful. Celebration is a good thing.
