I 'm really interested in speaking directly to "young artist", Although my site prevents any of you from experiencing my vision-(NOT until you are of legal age).
Seriously, I'm just passing on a little knowledge for up-coming artist in this new digital arena, Let your art speak & present itself in a confident way which embodies all of you. Allow your art to travel into regions of the world you might NEVER visit but have always DREAMED OF...
When you decide to upload all of the splendid, beautiful,vivid imagery "you've created" to the world wide web-PLEASE!!! Harness a THICK SKIN!-For every one person that "LIKES" you, There is always 25 more that don't. You can't please everybody because people's opinions are just like "assholes"-Everybodies got one (now what???)...Very unfortunate but jealousy & untalented people are born everyday.
Don't let negative comments, lack of visibility from various organizations which are catered for artisans-Persuade you not to be creative.
Instead use that unproductive chatter to fuel your imagination. If there are several other websites, blogs and other social media outlets-Discouraging you, Ignoring you or feeding into whatever crap, DON'T FIGHT BACK unless you do it through ART.
ART is the badge of courage you need to leap into all of the fantasies you've every had.
Taking a line from the film Bull Durham (1988)-Coincidently the year I graduated high school.
"If you build it he will come"-
Continue to create the GREATEST Art your imagination will allow and then some...
Happy New Year and be SAFE out there!!!
