KONG FU
Something on my soul again that I have to write down. It is about the early months of 2017 were I tried to make vacation from blogging in the jungle due my lack of energy and motivations. Somehow I went through a foggy valley and the break in blogging showed me several things:
- I miss blogging in here. If I do not do it in here I feel somehow restless and unhappy.
- Massive Voodoo is not only a blog for me, where I share my work and ideas and thoughts
- Massive Voodoo is some kind of friend for me, a harbour to share and be myself
- Massive Voodoo is also a great tool to stay connected and communicate
- Many thanks for the many conversations I had with many people recently. Not only for me, but also for you Massive Voodoo communicates so much. Not only content, but also a philosophy, a way of life, a spirit and much more. When I quit writing for some time I missed that link to you all - the readers of the blog, other miniature painters outthere - and it made me sad. It took me quite a while to understand this.
- Somehow Massive Voodoo turned more work for me in 2016 and many blogposts were "work influanced", but I slowly want to change this again. I am finding back to my roots of using MV as a tool to communicate, share energies and vibes instead of numb, heartless posts. This Kong Fu is to understand it all and a step in this direction.
- I am really happy to have my own artist portfolio online now - www.romanlappat.com - so I can seperate the working part more from the initial spirit of Massive Voodoo and find back to its roots. Everyone who is blogging in the field of miniature painting regularly for a while will know what I mean. Doing it since 2009 now. This split is a little bit like working from home and then moving work to a studio place like I did in the past. It seperates things more clearly for oneself.
- Life sometimes needs a readjusting with several things, some of these steps go easy, others hard. Some are easy to see and understand and tackle, others not. And as Massive Voodoo is a part of my life, spirit, personality I am up to tackle things in here too :)

*Thumb up* sounds like you are on a new road which will bring you on the way to deal with the valley and give you the chance to Not see it again. I like it

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true. Sometimes the routine of life let's you forget about it. I am thankful that you are with me on this journey. Greetings to the land of high mountains!

On it. Let's see where this journey will take me.
I'm a huge fan of following your journey through Massive Voodoo, Roman. I greatly appreciate your willingness to share your personal thoughts on the blog. It not only offers great insight into your thought process as an artist, but it's one of the most effective ways to "stay in touch" with a friend. Cheers, buddy.
