Guts - Entry 25 



My brother just sent me the photo on the left and it is safe to say it has become my new favorite picture. 
That is our candid, real reaction to seeing Olivia Rodrigo pop onto the stage during her Guts Tour in Nashville over spring break. 

Concerts are one of the greatest part of the human experience. They are so special. Seeing people from all backgrounds, careers, and ages come together on one night just to sing their hearts out brings me to tears. 

We are all go, go, go. But we all collectively decided to spend a few hours on a Saturday night admiring and celebrating the work of our favorite artists. It's beautiful.

Doodle Time - Entry 15

Suzy Dotson Doodle Time - Entry 15  Today, I was doodling in class.

Is it simply just boredom, or do we lack so much creativity in the classrooms that our minds are begging for something even remotely artistic?

Yah, it sucks not having it. But the torment, lies, and manipulation that comes with it just makes it not even worth bothering with.

Exit Through the Gift Shop - Entry 14

Suzy Dotson Exit Through the Gift Shop - Entry 14 While this "Exit Through the Gift Shop" was a documentary exploring Banksy, Theirry, and their creative journey, I believe this was a true insight into the hold that power, confidence, and marketing can have on a project.  Let's face it -- Theirry was a crazy lunatic with a dream. There are lots of people out in the world with these great, wonderful, and innovative ideas, but the chances of actually seeing these projects come to life are slim to none. It takes a plan, organization, and people to make something out of the ordinary come to fruition. And that's what Theirry did. For some reason, people trusted him and his vision. For some reason, without any organization, he was able to pull off his art exhibit and make $1 million in sales in one week. That is the power of marketing.  It is crucial for artists to understand the importance of marketing. We often see marketing as advertising, spreadsheets, etc., but as arti
