Throttling 

the Resolution 

of Reality

    The mindset to create using any means necessary- Enjoying the bountiful fruits of the digital art age thus far. Thousands of unique pieces of software to play with- to test- to try- to experiment- to mix and mash and CREATE the new sound- The sound of the new digital age of art.

     The complex workflows- these are our styles. The forward and reverse- the cyclic motions we make to achieve the looks we desire. This is our time to pursue and push the visual and collective WANT for what we like making most. The time is now for those who pursue with passion and willingness to fail, learn, grow, and conquer.

   Rreally excited by the idea of finding lost treasure underneath piles of digital art shovelware. I have experienced a sense of comraderie and kinship with the pursuit of unique tools. It is clear that any defined art in the digital medium will not use just one piece of software- and I think this is why the people that do collect into this type of "searching" are not very cut throat about the hunt. It is obvious to these people that the single piece of software, or old assett, is not the key that will unlock success. Success comes from looking at the tools at your disposal, becoming familiar with them, and then refining a workflow which yeilds the results you desire. In my mind, the results one desires are best if "fresh"/.. To mean that it should not be direct or illuminated call back to works of old. Nostalgia is a cheap cheap gimmick. Instead, it should incorporate techniques of all kinds, all eras, with a cohesive vision, in order to find the style which you can call your own and which 1 can evolve,

• Inpire YOURSELF - , in a closed loop of creation - iteration- pattern-execution
• Inspiration to act, Rather than to "make art". By performing the action, you will make works consequentially
• Learn what is necessary in order to arrive at your vision of work. Implement the knowledge as you learn- Expand your knowledge through failure and perseverence
• The first thing you should do every single morning is to make your bed
• Discomfort and uncertainty are feelings you should SEEK while executing your ideas
• Never settle for "good enough" or what others might consider "good enough" Set your own bars of pass-fail. And have them set higher than anyone else
• You must seek craftsmanship- ,, A laser carved skill-set in the fundamental forms. Necessary to have before breaking and bending the rules and subsequently removing yourself from the status quo

     Remember that what 1 human finds unappealling, could shine  very boldly (perhaps a bit confusingly so) to another individual  IF performed/executed skillfully. 

All of your work and efforts as  an artist should come from a place of belief A belief in the idea  

   A belief in your own strengths, the skills that mean most to you.  Advancing with a cautionless acceptance of your shortcomings  and flaws. The work will have merit- evident from the metal from which it was forged
