I'm not sure if you ascertained this yet, but I am an artist. Although everyone goes about it differently, most artists want the same thing... NOTORIETY. Of course, the true path of an artist is just having that creativity flowing out of you uncontrollably, and the work of an artist is that needful expression. BUT, it doesn't pay the bills unless you sell your work too, and you have to be known to sell your work (short of the arts/crafts fair circuit.) To really make it, you have to be famous. That is all.
I am an 'emerging artist' on this 'path to greatness.' This path is not just ever bestowed, (with the exception of a lucky few that are born into fame.) It is a path of many struggles. It is working hard on your work and getting it out there. It it constant communication, ass-kissing and schmoozing, going without meals due to strict deadlines, working side jobs to pay the bills, all-the-while putting yourself out there for the world to discriminate. Oy!
Many believe that artists have to starve for what they do. I refuse to believe that, yet I am hungry. I am hungry for something more than food and that is to become that which I desire in my heart of hearts... I work to get to the point where I am an artist that is doing just my art alone to survive. I do not see myself working, setting up someone else's show, knowing my work belongs in the show. I am going to be one of those working in my studio, while others toil for days doing what they love) to create the perfect space for my art.
My art is out there. My ideas are abundant. My craftsmanship is improved. My chakras are newly flowing, and I must trudge on. I have ended a many-year-long spritual journey and now my energy shifts to creating the future. My root chakra is well rooted now and sacral energy flows like a river through me. I yearn to create endlessly and push myself beyond limitations. With diligence and this attitude, I know I have what it takes. Now I just need your support.
Our work is love!
