1) Is the artistic undertaking worth it? If everybody is a "creator", and everyone CAN, then what's the point, why bother? My work is decidedly, purposefully lo-fi. Mainly because, the next question ...
2) Who has time? I really don't ... to be tweaking, and editing, creating fantasies and adding filters. I'm not an artist ... although doing, being, seeing artistically comes naturally. It's what I do ... when I'm not doing business or being with family, or hassling with people and work and life ... I do, and be and see, like me. I'm unique in some ways (... I like to think) but I lack the deep talent, not to mention, the patience (or maybe, I just lack the balls) to full out call myself an "artist".
In sum, it's like this: Ideas, check. Creativity, check. Vision, check. sort of Style, Tone or Vibe, check, check, check. Originality? Guilty! A body of Work and a name to go with it: getting there ... check, check again.
But then, I check myself: I'm a hobbyist.
The "art" enhances what I do, and am able to see, and lucky to be ... but I'm frankly more interested in experiencing life and regretting some dreams, than actually working to express them to you.
That said, there's a fine line between needing expression and needing attention anyway ... and too many in the cluttered online world of "creation" -- tragically, myself included at times -- take time, too much of it, chasing the latter!
Anyway, this is the video I started to mention. "Unplug" is the message. Really "share", not just virtually.
I couldn't have put it better, made my own WordSpeak louder ...
