Thoughts on the Artist

I know I haven't posted in a while. Doesn't really matter because no on reads this. I know I created this blog to express my musical idea, and lately I've been doing a lot of listening, practicing, studying, and a little composing. I've also been being busy experiencing life, and doing a little bit of writing and reading to help me find myself, as any artist should. In my journey, which isn't close to being done yet, I've learned a lot about the nature of artist, thanks to a friend of mine. Artist are creators, demi-gods, if you will, off creating our own universes. Into the hearts of all things artistic we breathe life. Its a fantastic thing. But real art isn't perfected in the practice rooms, or the confines of walls with pen and paper, canvas and brushes, needles and threads, REAL art, and what I like to call PERFECT ART is inspired by life and the experience of it. I'm not saying don't set aside time for your craft. What I am saying is take time to recognize the universe around you that exist independent of you. It excites, it inspires and it demands our time and deserves our respect, and when you see that it becomes easier to mold your own universe, and let others in on it.
