corner view ≈ to be {or not to be} an artist, and bounce

·
until recently i've not completely understood big art, art that hangs in galeries and museums, art that is praised high. why? you and i both know, art goes hand in hand with commerce. artists who are using their grey cells besides creating, get the dosh. and recognition, for that matter. not always fair deuce, but there it is: the economy of art. 
·

·
on the other hand, fair enough. efforts must be rewarded, and choices will have consequences. closer to home, if ever what i do would be considered art, i'd feel well thrown, in a quizzical sense. i feel i create. i cannot live without creating. throughout life, creating has saved me time and again. i think, because creation is what we are, in essence. 
·
on that level, i prefer calling myself an artisan. i don't care for high promotion, i lack ambition to make a living out of what i make, and i consciously steer away from one of art's biggest and noblest issues: raising awareness, causing doubt.

potter is what i'll do. write like crazy. draw the life out of me ☻. and shoot wherever, whenever i can. 
·
it's here for the community to enjoy {and thank you all, for doing so, time and again!}. 
·
for that other bit of profoundly necessary inspiration, the pond which will make me ponder, i'll check out any museum, i'll make good use of my eyes (like every moment of the day and night - oh! insomnia!), and i'll bounce. time and again. i will.

i will most certainly also come looking, over at yours!
