i saw this video sometime ago and it was SO necessary. as an artist, i get pressure from the world that my non-artistic counterparts don’t. funny that everyone that isn’t an artist always has something to say about MY shit. my music, my blog, my pictures.. whatever i produce, i consider to be a part of my creative real estate and the folks that walk around ‘looking’ always have demands about what i should or shouldnt do.
i do it too. i appreciate the arts as much as i contribute and i have my opinions and demands about artists too…. but i always try to keep a realistic prospective. i’m never too lost in myself to not see that they are all just like ME. an artist… out here dibbling and dabbling on our canvas until we paint that ONE beautiful picture that ends up being our TICKET outta starving-artistdom.
a beautiful thought indeed…
anywho- if you’re anything like me, you enjoy the TED talks.. here is my favorite one [so far] by the author of: ‘eat, pray, love’ …. <~~one of my fave books of the year.
