I’m of the esteemed millennial generation, whose sole purpose it was to put random verbs onto to literally anything we own. Words like “Believe” and “Breathe”. And “Embrace”. So when this word came to mind – which is how it goes these days – my second thought was; “Please no. Anything but this.”
Alas. Once it has spewed itself into my consciousness, there’s no putting it back. Embrace it is.
I’m not exactly known to be a..well…embracey kind of person shall we say? During the years of working on technical knowledge, skill building and all that jazz, I somewhat lost what I do naturally, when it comes to making art. Then it came back and scared me because I didn’t know how to merge it with my need for pretty, polished and accurate. And so I kicked it in some kind of knee-jerk reaction.
I recently heard some say that marrying technical skill with your natural style is step in learning to be an artist. He recommended doing that under the guide of a mentor. I obviously would rather jump naked in a pool of Lego than to submit myself to the guidance of another. That sounds ballin’ but it’s just crippling insecurity, don’t worry.
And so – in the absence of guidance – we light our own path, grab hold of our art friends and walk-jump-skip-stumble our way through creation. I hope to see again during this month my friends. <3
