Pinterest Obsession
It's been a few months already and I now understand why artists usually don't have current work on their website or blog. It's because they are busy working.
Posting tweets and clever captions means I'm procrastinating.

I embraced my procrastination. I developed my Pinterest account. I love it.
I know what you're thinking, Pinterest is for girls and stay at home mums. They use it obsessively for a few months and then give up. But this could be the ultimate scrapbook resource for the inner artist.
I have a hard drive with thousands of reference images that are neatly organized and generally very useful for getting inspiration. But it's not something I carry with me all the time, or can easily share at a moment's notice. And then there is also hardware failure which would be catastrophic.
So, I've set about the task of updating everything into boards and into the Pinterest universe. It's a huge undertaking and I'll probably spend the next few months, if not years doing it as my interest grow and my work projects vary.
Currently, I have over 168 boards, I have plans for about 100 more that I can think of and then some. I'm part of the new collector culture, a digital image library without scale or measure. The net is vast and wide with Pinterest users pinning 3,472 images every minute of the day and Instagram users post 216,000 new photos per minute. That's a lot of data.
The global internet population represents two point four billion people around the world, and I am just one of many capturing the moment for another day.
