My new-(ish) website
Im still working thru what i want the website to look like. And the reason is Im working thru in my head what I want to get out of the website.
Im beginning to think some how the mix of my side studio and my urge to scream about art being dead will have to work on a compromise.
On the one hand for some time I've seen a negative attitude towards artists, and that really pisses me off. Especially when its from coorporate middle management between pokes to the blackberry that is permanently attached to most of their face. The type of people also seems to have a common characteristic. The type that are in management but some how still seem to lack even the basic social skills a person requires in a professional atmosphere to avoid being rude. I don't have to really worry about this being directed at me currently, but that's not the point. I feel like the art community is looked down upon more as of late in the way of social status. And that leads to many other negative things in the future. Say an artist is passionate, the business man can identify this and exploit it. Should the next artist stand firm and provide a confident persona....Well the possibility of work becoming scarce is a possibility. There are a lot of starving artists out there. And the global corporate market knows it!
Well we can now admit the damage has been done and as an artist I must feel its within my realm to be capable of fixing this catastrophe.
My method so far is to infiltrate the higher levels of corporate and show the worth first of ART. What is Art? What can it do for me? Then the real kicker......The worth of an artist. Because the artist is not only graphics and visuals but a designer, a skilled problem solver, a dreamer.
Now there is an area for thought......The dreamers. Not all dreamers are artists and dreamers are found everywhere, but when an artist, designer, dreamer sort of person evolves its pretty evident that boundaries are not real. I think those middle managers put the boundaries there to fake out the ones with less will power.
So the only question is direction and what to do first. I'll let you know what I picked next time.
