For instance, this is me :
-impatient
-habitual/safe
-stubborn
-wants all the fun, but none of the work
-often frustrated by outcome
-longing for simplicity
-searching, searching, searching
-restless
What I want out of the experience varies. One day it's a spiffy drawing that I can be proud of, the next it's catharsis. A diversion. An exercise. A gift. The question is always "When do I ease up (selfish/recreation), and when do I decide to give it a little more elbow grease (selfless/sacrifice)?" Must each effort walk that line between fulfillment and drudgery? Seems that way...
..and i thought it was just me who had that internal dialogue....i think it is sometimes called 'wrestling with your demons'. Nevertheless you seem to be doing ok though :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very much alike. I'm impatient and I always have these ugly habits while working that I rely on too much.
ReplyDeleteI'd really love to see you evaluate someone elses personality based on style. :)
ReplyDeletePlease try it on 2-3 famous artists. I'm gonna try it myself to test if I believe that statement about style.
yea, I've noticed most stuff I draw never gets past the rough stage, but the life of the gesture is something I don't want to polish to death
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your comments and hearing your thoughts. I like many others feel the same as you and think things through a ton. It's interesting. Art can become a religion or a philosophy to some degree, with a quest to find something about yourself , u know? I just hope I'm looking for the right thing....lol
ReplyDeleteI hear ya for sure!
ReplyDeleteOn a hopefully related note:
YOU ARE A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME!
I only hope to work with people like you one day......
