Rather, my frustrations come from the act of creation, of being unable to get what's inside my head out into the world in a practical, realizable form. Also the poor economics of Art which creates a lot of pressure, competing in a society that does not so much value what artists produce. Society values marketing far more than Art, and although I don't feel marketing is entirely evil, it's a pity that one must spend so much time on it to cause any kind of societal ripple.

Not so much rebellion but more expression. Being an artist is a way we see the world, the way we embrace then express those visions through the art that is created. I think the biggest mistake any artist can make is conform to anything or anyones vision. What you start to conform, that is when you are no longer an artist but yet another disciple of what others call art... Interesting article and thanks for sharing.

I was half-expecting spam, but I suppose something in me knew I was wrong. Not much in the way of advertising, a lot in the way of content, and a lot that I could certainly relate to. For example, this blog entry I'm commenting on, I am a schizophrenic (technically Schizoaffective, but this is more advanced form of Schizophrenia) and I definitely benefited reading your description of things around the word in context. As per whether or not (mentioned in another blog entry) I'm an "artist", well, that depends, yes, i have my own business where i've created software, but bleh, boring. There have been many times where I wanted to create actual art, but in the past i've always been afraid that it would reveal too much of what goes on in my mind, let people know too much about who I am, so I never let myself practice, much less finish a project. I do own a guitar (bought it a few years ago during a manic spree at costco) and by coincidence just this past week I finally received a book I ordered from Amazon on how to play it, but at this point I haven't the foggiest notion of how to use it. I think I'm going to sit and make the time to learn. Thank you for being kind enough to 'spam' me with the link to this site, it's now in my "short list" of favorite (bookmarked) websites.
