Creative

The distinction between creativity and humanity is, to my mind, a rather hazy one. I tend to feel that “artists” (in the broad sense of the word, which includes “writers”, “musicians”, and the like), are not people with a particular calling, per se, but rather people who lack any calling. The Artist’s vocation, I think, is simply to live.

To put it another way: The Artists’s job is simply to change the world.

This is really quite easy. It is, of course, exactly what we all do, every day. We were doing it even before we were born (just ask your mother whether your abdominal residence affected anything).

What has set widely acclaimed artists apart from the proverbial crowd, I believe, is merely the degree to which they have honed their awareness of these changes, and refined their control over them.

My personal journey into the realm of creative expression has included writing, computer programming, visual art, clothing, music, audio recording, and filmmaking.
