: Hey Phunklekitten, : EVerything you said below makes so much sense. I loved it! I think we need to realize what is being said below about initiative. About not only thinking about art, but DOING it, and SHARING it and STUDYING about it, and such. It's really all very good stuff! Please read through it again. Phunkle has alot of experience w this. He knows what he is saying. : I personally am willing to sit down w any of you who want to discuss your art. I can critique things and offer my feedback. I WILL NOT try to recreate you in my image. I WILL NOT become an artistic babysitter. The idea is like Steve says, HAVE YOUR OWN VISION, and then I don't mind helping you walk it out. But HAVE YOUR OWN, or be willing to find it. And reread this post below, It's excellent! : Bill, a Juxtapoz and Murmel reader! : : .................................................................................................... : : bridging the gap isa nota easy i agree. there are these laws invisible and visible that say what is good art. some are good well thought out on balance composition use of color. but others are. (placed your favorite expluritive here_________. ) because they are built on fear on personal opinion of what is good art. others are made by people who have never done a piece of art ..some are made by people who desire to do art was crushed by the ones who kill the art spirit. as artist we to do art. and not be afraid to mess up the apple cart. there have been visionaries dreamers and rebels in the world of art. and there will be new one being born . there has always been outside art primitive art ,art brut, ,and in the last few years the acceptance of this grows greater.. : : art is a freedom to convey. art is a movement to bring something invisible visible. art is. i believe we came from a being that is creative and we are made from in his image. we too then are creative beings. we need to create. just like we need to breathe. : : here are a few simple everyday dreamers that did something : : finister folks art : : basquiat graffiti : : haring graffiti : : juxapost magazine : : raw vision magazine : : i read this amazing book on art called the art spirit. it is by robert henri. a famous artist early america his book was a series of letters, quotes, and findings. he wrote complaint letters to galleries and teachers who wanted to teach with arrogant pride, (the ones who can destroy the beautiful simplicity in being creative) and he wrote to young artist challenging them to make their own art, to find their own voice, also he did nt despise art education but warned it. this book was freeing. : : : : one thing that excites me about what is about to happen here at pu is what the building can be used for a place to hang work...to sell work...to explore the possibilities of what is out there. to capture then release the energy into others to challenge others to do art and do it well. : : the artist here...we do fit with the art world thanks to folk art rebels brut/primitive groups. .I DO BELIEVE...we can do something really cool and purposeful with our art. make some statement a movement of wonder : : folk art is amazing people buy it. .and some ."some people are tired of happy florida fish !!!" : : : : to answer the question. .how do we do this...we see the rules that are prescribe to us as artist and we use the guidelines. but we are not to allow us to be stuck with the rules...we can create our own as well...make our voice be heard... : : to quote nike....Just do it.... : : we need to do it.. we need to buy material ask others if the have extra material find material trade for materials. and then create with wild abandon. do our art. find our vision. then when we have to make it public. hang it on telephone poles, give it away. ask others to help place it into portfolios then hit the streets call galleries. find other art groups "network" submit submit submit to art mags. go to art shows. find what shows want and what your art can do and fit. art can fit in the most interesting places... : : there is also the temporal sacrifice.....sacrifice that second coke etc. : : also hook up with others that can push you to do it. fellowship, talk about art. see movies on artists. read books visit websites write letters to artist you admire as long as they are alive..get inside the artist mind and soul of artist you like : : when it comes to fellowship call people all pool money together for a night of entertainment, also when buying supplies buy in bulk if you can. : : : : lastly for this post at least. DO NOT GIVE UP.....dont give up.....it is your art. dont let anyone steal your voice... : : have a good one : : : : ps this also works for poets./writers.............................
