stewart's studio: The only constant
http://stewartsstudio.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-only-constant.html
Friday, 26 July 2013. I've only made one painting this year. It has been seven months and I have made one painting. At the beginning of the year, I took some time off after a very busy few months at the end of last year. However that was months ago and in another country and I'm home now and all I seem to do is watch my studio gather dust. There is a misconception, held by some, that an artist has to suffer to make art, that a happy artist does not work. (Van Gogh would almost certainly become an exa...

stewart's studio: December 2012
http://stewartsstudio.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 December 2012. 2012 will be finished in a little over three hours, as I start writing this. It's been quite a year. I began it by painting a new series of paintings, Worlds apart. To show in April at Union Gallery. That series worked out better than I could have hoped for and they looked great in the gallery, face to face with Kevin Low's imaginary world. One wall of A place called home. Which we were very happy with. When we float' at the RSA. And when the new year comes around, some of the E...

stewart's studio: Why am I an artist?
http://stewartsstudio.blogspot.com/2013/08/why-am-i-artist.html
Friday, 16 August 2013. Why am I an artist? Why am I an artist? I don't know if I really have a good answer to that. A better question, at least to begin with, might be 'Do I want to be an artist? It is a straight and yet hard question. I am pretty sure, most of the time, that I do indeed want to be an artist, although I don't know that I am always capable of being one. Certainly it does not feel as if I have been one for some time now, with my artistic life lying somewhat dormant. My Society6 print shop.

stewart's studio: The Boundary
http://stewartsstudio.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-boundary.html
Friday, 9 August 2013. A few weeks ago I relaunched my Etsy shop. To showcase my new linocut prints of vintage cars. I decided after much deliberation to change the name of the shop from the rather prosaic Stewart's Shop to The Boundary. Usually when naming things, I prefer something straightforward and descriptive, hence my earlier shop name. However, having decided that I wanted to brand my shop in a way that made it distinct from my fine art, clearly something different had to happen. Subscribe in a r...

stewart's studio: April 2013
http://stewartsstudio.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 3 April 2013. A tale of sound and fury. A few days ago, I walked out of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art so angry I could hardly speak – vibrating, nostrils flaring, teeth locked, brows knitted – angry enough to step out in front of, and face down, a speeding car on the pedestrian crossing outside. I left with a desire to never ever return to the gallery. I left hating art. The SNGMO's current exhibition, From Death to Death and Other Small Tales. Marcel Duchamp's 'Fountain', 1917.

Sneaky Peek: Feeling profound. Often.
http://kmyule.blogspot.com/2011/09/feeling-profound-often.html
I hope this will be a chance for me to reflect on my work as I share with you what I have been up to in the studio. Welcome! Saturday, 17 September 2011. Feeling profound. Often. Finding your place as an artist in the world can be a long. And muddy process. I. Am tentatively moving towars CONFIDENCE in my own art making; towards TRUST in my own creative instincts and towards a sense of VALUE in my journey to my own TRUTH. You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees. It's been a while.
