  • What are your creative/artistic pursuits?

    And don't answer things you have abandoned long ago because they contribute nothing to your self development anymore.

      Well, if you want an answer, I have no creative or artistic pursuits. I have abandoned them a long time ago.

            doodles that sometimes turn out pretty nice.

                sometimes I write, but mainly I write music. I also consider some aspects of my kung fu to be artistic.

                    I have totally devoted my life to artistic pursuits. Mainly music although my job right now centers around visual arts.

                    So I compose music of several different genres, I am primarily an audio engineer which I consider an art unto itself, I make virtual dioramas and take photos of them, culinary arts, photography, animations ... at this point you name it. Not much on poetry ... I think dancing arts are not so great or boring but that's just because I'm not into it. I can appreciate how graceful ppl move while in traditional dance but I'm still like "Meh" or "Zzz".

                    Funny joke I once heard while pursuing my first degree in music ... sad thing is it is soooooo true ...

                    What's the difference between a large pepperoni pizza and an art major?

                    ...

                    ...

                    A large pepperoni pizza can feed a family of four. OH!!!

                    It sucks trying to live your dream while you're always scraping the bottom of the money barrel. No one said this road would be easy, as a matter of fact they all said I'd fail, never make any money, end up broke and yada yada yaaa. Well they were mostly wrong although the making money part is still a slow train coming. Maybe this year things will change ... here's to hope.

                    At this point after having several creative jobs where being creative isn't a optional choice and sometimes you just have to push through the "I'm not feeling creative" moments and churn out a professional product anyways I really don't consider what I do as "artful". Sooo my point is that I see the things I do as a craft. When I do my own thing it's art but everything else I do is just a craft.

                    I see so many "artists" complain about not having any input in the freelance work and they complain and complain to no end. They get too attached to what they do and loose sight of the fact that they are making something for a client who wants specific things and they have their own vision. These ppl need to seriously be able to separate themselves from their work. Who cares what they want just do it, be done with it and GET PAID! The longer you argue about some stupid details with a client the less time you have to work on your own stuff.

                    The reason why I choose this path in the first place was because I was trying to think of an occupation where I would contribute something more universally significant than let's say a paparazzi photographer would ever contribute. There are so many other jobs that I could mention but you get the idea. Now the older I get I realize that although my only gift to the world may be music it might not be that great of a gift!! lmao

                    Still at least I tried ...
