More Than Just the Usual"There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented. Sign-posts on the way to what may be. Sign-posts towards greater knowledge." - Robert Hernri
The world is a most beautiful place by design, but sometimes it is shrouded in a thick coat of "the usual".  You know... the usual dirty streets, the usual filthy air, the usual concrete buildings with no sense of aesthetics, the usual people who never smile, the usual garish billboard ads, and the usual folks who have settled with "just getting by". I find all this "usual" to be very depressing. What's worse is, it seems to be contagious.
It is in these most "usual" circumstances in which I truly begin to realize the value of art. Art, as the pursuit of beauty, stands as an ideal for more th
THANKFULMy dear beloved friends on deviantart :aww:::dalove:, this year, I didn't want to celebrate my birthday.
I felt very down.
For an ensemble of different things.
I am too sensitive sometimes   I know , but that's the way I am :aww:.
Hard moments make you feel more reflective :aww:, you can better understand  the importance of some things some of them are friendship and brotherhood.
So, I know I'm terribly on late,  but it's never too late to say I love you :aww::heart: to hug someone of dear.
That's what I want to do now.
To share an invisible and far hug to all of you . I can't see you , I know you through your beautiful deep artworks. Art is one of the most beautiful miracles of human being.
It's a lot of time that you can feel my art silence.
Silence. Because sometimes you need to listen to the sound of silence. A bit of calm and reflection. Taking a break of reflection.
During this silence, I could rest my mind , myself :aww:.
I could to recharge my

Just found this somewhere....This was somwhere I don't remember where, and I thought I'd share it with ya'll it's going around in a email its real sweet ^^

Me: Do you think I'm pretty?
Logan: No.
Me: Do I ever cross your mind?
Logan: No.
Me: Do you like me?
Logan: No.
Me: Do you want me?
Logan: No.
Me: Would you cry if I left?
Logan: No.
Me: Would you do anything for me?
Logan: No!
Me: What would you choose, your life or mine?
Logan: My Life.
I run off crying in pain and Logan runs after me, grabs me, and tells me, "The reason you're not pretty is because you're beautiful. The reason you never cross my mind is 'cause you're always on my mind. The reason I don't like you is because I love you. The reason I don't want you is 'cause I need you. The reason I won't cry if you left is cause I'd die. The reason I won't do anything for you is because I'd do everything for you. The reason I'd choose my life is because you are my life!

btw, I will be back from hiatus around febuary I am swamped with schoolwork. ^^

Some good advice from Ira Glass"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARUTO ^___^I didn't find the time (T__T) to dedicate to my beloved NARUTO :heart: a beautiful fan art for his birthday :party: but I thought there's millions of beautiful and amazing  fan artists who give him everyday something deep and amazing for him :iconfinallyplz:.. The love for this beautiful character created by the great mangaka MASASHI KISHIMOTO :heart: :iconmasashikishimoto: is whole world extended, because this little boy keeps inside the HOPE represented by the dreams and energy of young people. Naruto is a particular boy who fights against an enemy not made of muscles,  but represented by the prejudice that often is the reason of conflicts and wars.
Naruto is strong because he has a big humility, he is generous and loves LIFE , BROTHERHOOD AND FRIENDSHIP. He research the HAPPINESS TO BE TOGETHER IN PEACE, and the values in which he believes are represented by his actions and the legacy of the heroic actions of his masters have left to him.
HE GIVES TO ALL OF US A
Listen to the past of memories.Looking at me now,and reminding myself with my past..
It's a great change,and I never thought I'd be a whole other person..
"People change"yes now I believe in this sentence,in which I never believed before..
But saying"thank you" doesn't change a thing..
Because happiness,is a feeling,rather than sadness,while sadness can be stuck forever,but nobody
can be "always" happy..
Life is a mansion,it can be a paradise palace,or a haunted castle,you decide,and you have the position to choose,which one will YOU choose?
Life is a road,a path..
You keep walking,walking and walking,sometimes you run,you run really fast,other times you "stop" to take a rest..
I belong to my own life,and my life belongs to me,that means I own it,and I can freely control it without anybody's rules,yes,start from these words,build your own world,step one meter,you'll find yourself much better,happier and motivated..
"You can"
and nobody can't..
there's nothing "impossible"
there's always something "possible"

Inspired Art

:iconwildweasel339:

I once thought that you should "paint what you know".  Each artist has a unique background from which we can draw from. This is a sure way to create art with authentic detail and intimacy. In theory this is great and sometimes true, but more often than not it leads to boring and uninspired work.  To simply paint what you know, is far too limiting!

Now I am of the opinion that you should create the art that you would like to see. The real thrill is in exploring these new horizons, and blazing your own trail.  For me, this is vital to the enjoyment of being an artist. Allow your art to surprise you, and let inspiration be your guide.

I completely agree. I'm in a bit of rut at the moment where i'm just drawing so much "safe-zone" stuff, and it just makes everything look same and boring. There will always be a point where you just have to take a step back and try / learn something new, otherwise you end up going circles.

How would you know how far you can go without even trying? The best "leapts of skill" I've made were trying something new. It can be hard and painful, and often we despair thinking we're never going to achieve the quality we dreamt, but it's also rewarding. Exploring something new is like giving a new breath of life to our creations and being the crazy artists we are, to our lives too.

Well put! Or, in other words, paint what you know, but always get to know new stuff!

The Art Spirit is a good book.
Save for drawing exercises, I am always trying to draw/paint what I'd like to see. It's been endless torment for years. And yet... I come back.
