15 days for everything else, 15 days for film work, every month - might work well

Unlike many other indie filmmakers & bloggers I know, I am totally cool with having a day job (also totally cool with hopefully not needing one at some point in the future :). But, I am also a big fan of having an entire day or days to work on film & related work - not having to worry about day job work, other responsibilities. So, I am always working on various time use strategies to try to make sure that everything that needs to get done every month gets done.

Here's the latest:
- schedule all the day job work to take place w/ in 15 days of any given month
-- also try to work in other errands & stuff during those 15 days
- schedule film work & related work for the remaining 15 or so days in the month
-- work in watching movies, reading, hanging out for professional development purposes, etc. also for the Film Work 15 Days

Having a big separation between the two types of work - assigning each as the primary task for separate days - might be a good way to focus fully on each & get things done, move things forward.

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper .
