Waking Up
I just wanted to get a little something out there since it has been so long since I updated this blog at all. I know its not something that a lot of people turn to because ,, lets be real, i never update. And you know what, I kind of like that. So I think what im going to do is just start writing and creating this for myslef and anyonwe who wants to share in my path.
Its all comes together
So what I have learned from art is truly amazing, not only did i learn to draw and paint and scult and build, but in learning those things I explored so much. You see learning to recreate visually is not just creating from looking but understanding. And every jobs has its own lessons, sometimes you learn of textures, or surface, that just makes sense, but other times you learn about the build that going into a machine, or the steps taken to build a house. Why do these things matter? Because when you understand how something works you can incorporate that into how your brush flies. Plus its a lot of fun to learn so much about so many different topics. And even when you create art like fantasy creatures or what not, you have to learn even more, because you are combining the features of a lot of real things into one to create your own. And with a little personal twist and unique flair you have yourself something totally new at the end that was never made before.
But, Real Life….
The funniest and actually most impressive part of all this is how the same application applies to the rest of my life as well. I think one day, oh I am learning about this or learning about that. Sure it has its purpose in the moment, but just liek an artist visual library, I build up life library. And over time all these things work together to create your own unique display of life and expression. Yeah, it souns really fantasy, but lets not forget it was fantasy that motivated innovation, fantasy the broke barrier and fantasy that drove people to do things noone else thought were possible.
The Art…
Then what you find is that you hold all these things, just natrually, not really thinking much of their purpose, they are just part ofyour life. Then one day you are hit with it, inspiration. Sometimes its to create a piece you never thought before and other times its much much greater, taking everything you have ever learned and grow into. And when you finally belive and finally go with what the world has been building you into for ever, you flow into your style. Yes, your style of art, but also your style of life. And these inspirations, they can come small or they can come so big that they change everything around you in an instant. And when that happens, I suggest you say yes, not because you should…. but because its what always has been, and when you tap into that, the wonder and creativity flows into everything you do ten times more than it ever has before. My life is nowhere near where I thought it would ever be, but its also now growing into something that I cannot even understand most days. Artists are creators, but what if artists are the creations as well.
