To be, or not to be....

My question is this... Is it the idea of an artist that is of value or their product? Is concept or material most important? Is the search for beauty and the definition of ugliness why I continue to create eye candy? I do not know. All I do know is that I am searching for something profound through my art, but I cannot annunciate what rests on the tip of my brush, pen, or mind. Whatever it is I search for through my art lay just below the surface and just above true enlightenment. This is a tricky time as it seems everything I explore seems to develop without effort or work. The creativity that I have comes with ridiculous ease.

So I continue to push onward in search of something I find truly impossible to achieve. Once I find this goal in my art I will know that I have truly found why I have chosen art as my calling. Whether it be through the written word, image, or the abstract. I will find the right question so that I may pursue the purest answer.

In my writing over the last month or so I have stayed on the lighter side of things. It is now time to dive back into the questions of art and why I am an artist. After all that is the true search I am after. The productivity will follow, but I must concern myself with the real questions and not just the the superficial ones that drive the rat race.
