About Being an Artist
It isn’t like a cookbook. I listen to a lot of music. I take note. I watch movies. I take note. I look at paintings. I take note. I study literature. I take note. Here is the caveat of being an artist: you can’t just throw these things together and expect them to amount to anything. That’s what makes being an artist difficult. Most likely you’ll end up with a muddled mess. The editing and clarification takes years before the net work comes out with any precision. Even then, it often takes collaboration, feedback and reflection to take this to the next level. What is the “next level”? It’s a level where the work reflects something in the human experience larger than yourself.
