The road to gold.

  USA 5 - CANADA 3  Is this blog about sports? no. Is this blog about the Olympics? no. I am however a Canadian and yes I do love my hockey. So you could say I was disappointed over Canadas loss to team USA today in Vancouver, but it aint over till its over and I do have faith we will grind through and get the gold. What does any of this have to do with art? One word - perseverance, art is one of those tricky beasts that can slip through your fingers at any moment and will keep you chasing until the very end, lose your steam and that golden ring is loooong gone. I never really thought of it before but I guess creating art is kind of like playing hockey ...grind grind grind, give 110%, take a hit, keep your head in the game  ..you cant win em all but when you do you know it and it feels great . I know I am an artist for the same reasons those guys play hockey, because I love it. No matter how many times I get knocked down I get right back up , persevere and get back in the game because that next great piece right around the corner. So on the subject of sports vs. art im posting some work by Mike Orduna AKA Fatoe who did a series on boxing champs (its not hockey I know but hey there really isnt a lot of hockey related art out there). His work is SICK and it is well worth the visit to his site to check him out.
