Something to Think About

Why is it that the world seem to have a preconceived idea that artists are people with issues or those who fall the bottom of the academic ladder? For some reason you have to be a weirdo or have psychological problems in order to fit the definition 'artist'. I have a serious problem with that and for some reason it really pisses me off! I'm not a weirdo, nor do I have any psychological problems (that I'm aware of).  Yes artist are way more expressive than others and sometimes it literally shows but I think it only means that we are not hypocrites. Some people would love to be bold and do what we do but they worry about what society thinks (and do them behind closed doors). What really am I getting at? Not sure yet, lol but I feel free to say whatever I'm feeling and  I'll deal with where it goes later!

Anyway, art is in everything; fashion, architecture, automobiles, even the labels that every item has. I think we as artist need to stop thinking that we waiting for the big break that will make us famous and start doing work. We dont always have to wait for us to come up with something brilliant but find a niche that is already known to explore and to look at with new eyes.
