Life of an #artist… 1985 vs 2022.
Although I didn’t start as a pro until 1997, I did snatch the tail end of that epoch. 😕
( some of which, like analogue tools, i.e. the cost and hassle of #film #photography, I don’t miss at all … but otherwise, damn… so much fun is gone ) pic.twitter.com/XfzmhxwGCv
The 3 stages of an #artist:
1) talented
2) #genius / #cult
3) #divine
Brutal but 100% true. Why #creative #artist’s say “no” to most things / people: medium.com/@kevin_ashton/… —Sorry for my own delays and “nos”!
If you think me or some #artist are just #arrogant, narcissistic egoists, watch this: youtu.be/Vi6XG-JlIg0?t=… — So, who gets stuff done? ;)
If you want to #disappoint your #parents and don’t have the nerve to be #gay, the best is to become an #artist — Kurt #Vonnegut paraphrase
Extrapolation of my previous tweet: as if #creation was not complex enough, an #artist suffers from daily discouragement by jealous #society
You have #talent, #discipline… But to become an #artist, you must overcome the pressure of #consumerism and free yourself from #materialism.
As an #artist, be an optimist (some will like your #art), a pessimist (some will hate it), and a realist (some will ignore it).
Unvisualisable. Such a terrible word for a visual #artist!
