Hey~~
Just wanted to thank you for the fave!
Also, since I'm currently focusing on music, I was wondering if you'd be interested in listening/sharing my music?
If you are, I can link you to where you can find that stuff!

Thanks for the fav Gerg
Totally resonate with your journal post Art with heart (from 2014) . I also believe in excellence, I love seeing the incredible amount of effort and technical skill people invest in their art to further enforce the message they are trying to convey. The more asthenic value & character, the longer I delve into viewing and absorbing the piece. But you're on point, the sincere expression of the heart is transformational.

B-O-B,
I'm glad to hear Art with Heart resonates with you. I agree with you that technical prowess can really serve to articulate an artistic message and make it more compelling. My intention is not to overlook that fact, which is widely acknowledged as relevant to good art and artists. The essential element that is often glossed over is the development not only of technical skills but of access to inspiration. How do we mature our relationship to where our art comes from? How do we access relevant and truthful imagery? How do we create art that can uplift our culture and society? These are the questions to be asked, and answered, with more sincerity if we are to show true excellence in our work.

Hehe, B-O-B
Indeed. It takes a special artist to move from using art to fill their own desires and needs but instead using art more altruistically and uplifting culture/society. Interesting, care to elaborate on 'access to inspiration' and 'our relationship to where our art comes from' ?

Nathan,
Where does your inspiration come from? What guides the decision making in your creative process? For me, the answer comes from acknowledging the presence of a wiser and greater reality than just myself. This is not isolated to just when I paint or draw; it is the basic orientation for my life.
I think an essential way for artists to orient is to this basic sense of humility and openness. We gain power and influence in our artistic voice when we learn from those who are greater than us - not by blindly asserting ourselves but by learning from those who are truly great. And when we are actually sincere and honest with ourselves, greatness is obvious, challenging, and inspiring.

It comes from many places but the most inspiring would have to be: dreams, experiences and concepts. Though these things are undoubtedly influenced by something much deeper, greater and wiser than myself (which is something that we both on the same page about). My creative process in generally guided by 2 thing, logic and feeling. Logic is the art theory side of things composition, balance, contrast, movement etc. Feeling is the way the piece influences me when I rest with it, the symbolism I am wanting to infuse to give intentionality and purpose (not art for art sake) etc.
Mhmmm, + pure hearted vulnerability and surrender. Yes and yes, thanks for sharing your thoughts Greg. It's a good encouragement and reminder to align.

Hey Kimi, I've been seeing your art for a while now, really like it btw, and I wanted to ask you. I make Deviantart Compilations over at my Youtube channel:

You can tell me what art you want me to use, what song you want me to use, etc.
