Creating Art - Loving the Art You Do

I don't want to blog. I don't want to write an article. I don't want to work on the website. I don't want to sell stuff. I just want to make art.
It seems like most artists have this problem - they just want to be left alone to make art, to heck with all this other commercial stuff. The thing is, this is the first time I've ever felt like this in my artistic career.
Don't get me wrong; I love art, and I love making art. But for most of my life I've been more concerned with how my art was going to make me famous, rich, or both. I really didn't give much thought to the fact that I really didn't have much passion for the art I was creating; I fooled myself into thinking that I enjoyed the art that I thought would be most profitable. It wasn't until I started getting disillusioned with the art that I was creating that I realized that I had never stopped and tried to find art that I enjoyed doing...I was too focused on what I should enjoy doing. I stopped dead and went on a quest to find new ways of making art. My exploration into what art I really enjoy doing led me to digital abstract art. Abstract is something that I love exploring the potential of, yet it is an art form that I never understood, and never would have seen myself doing before. Yet once I committed to only doing art that I enjoyed, I learned that I completely love doing abstract art. Weird, huh?
What about you? Do you enjoy the art that you create, or have you let the inner demon or other people's expectations drag you into something that you really (if you are completely honest with yourself) don't like doing?
Did one of your parents want you to be a certain something? Are you too afraid of what so-and-so would think? Are you blinded by the attitude you've always had towards a certain type of art? You might be keeping yourself locked away from an exciting art form.
Why not try something completely new? If you want to try Digital abstract painting, sweet! It's so much fun, and well worth testing. Is it pixel art? Cool! Go learn a little about it, and if you don't end up liking it, who cares? Move on, then move on, then move on, until you find something you love. Don't hold on to things for too long, or you may be stuck in something you hate for years. Go find the art you love!

Three Kinds of Gorilla Fancy Dress Costumes

If you want a dramatic and fun costume, you can't get much more fun than a good gorilla fancy dress costume. When you become the grunting, banana-wielding gorilla of the party you will soon find yourself having more fun than everyone else. Be careful you don't forget the laws of civilised society altogether as you get into your new role!
Now a gorilla costume is one of the most fun, but it's also a tricky one to put together on your own. Where a hippie or James Bond costume is relatively simple and straight forward to make from things around your home, becoming a gorilla requires a whole different set of materials.
Enough black fur to cover your entire body is not the sort of things you usually have in your wardrobe. And a good gorilla fancy dress mask requires a great deal of skill to make! So while it's most likely you'll be buying or renting your gorilla costume, here is a list of the best gorilla costumes, even if you make it yourself:
1. Full Gorilla Bodysuit
The most extreme and fun gorilla costume is the full bodysuit - preferably with a zip up back. These costumes allow you to really become the gorilla for a while. You want a great gorilla mask with lots of expressiveness and preferably a fierce scowl on your face.
A banana is really the only prop you need to have plenty of merriment pretending to argue and fight over it. You just need to get great at the gorilla walk and grunting, and you'll have yourself the ultimate costume.
2. Funny Gorilla Costume
This is a whole other slant on the gorilla fancy dress idea - many would say that gorillas are funny enough without any added merriment or gimmicks. But if you add in a big pink ballet dancers dress and bra, you can make things really funny. Any sort of girly props like umbrellas, handbags, etc. Work a charm with a gorilla costume.
3. King Kong Fancy Dress
You can have some great fun with costumes that pretend King Kong is in the room. One of the best types of these is the King Kong hand pulling me out of the window costume for women. It simply is that - a giant hand to wrap around yourself, with the huge fingers looking like King Kong himself has grabbed you. Then just stand by windows and scream in distress, just like a damsel in the King Kong movies, and the illusion will be complete.
