I've been thinking a lot, after I lost my apartment because I hadn't made any money to pay the rent. I went back to my parent's house (writing this from there) in order to set things back up and take another crack at the whole thing.
At my time here I realized that I was already living to a certain degree as an artist, and although that is cool, that is not my calling. I don't want to draw for a living, I want to create for a living. I want to have the opotunity to wake up in the morning and if I have an idea. I can do it, and be payed for this in order tokeep making more stuff; be that comics, art, movies, whatever. I want to create, I wand to give all my ideas life. Not just visual life, but movement, and breath, and a voice. The whole thing, I want to make them as real as I possibly can. With that in mind, I need to never again call myself an "artist" as sadly, what once meant a creator of things, now implies just someone that draws. No. I am a content creator. We are at an age, where the internet is almost the only way to survive, get a thousand likes on facebook, maybe get a commision from a client, gather an audience, become an icon. All's in the internet, and as such I must take my creations to there, but no longer trying to impress anyone, no longer trying to get their attention, their attetion wil come, all I need to do is create things that make me happy.
With all that being said; I lay below my Creator's Manifesto:
1- I want to create art that makes me happy.
2- I want to be able to live from my ideas, and my creations and nothing more.
3- I want my work to be praise-worthy and admired.
4- I want my work to inspire others in such a way that they get into creating as well.
5- I will never just do it for the money.
From this day onward. I promise to do things that make me happy, thigs that I hope you will come to enjoy. I urge you to follow my twitter, my facebook, and this blog. And I hope you too can get inspired by what I'm trying to accomplish here.
Till next time...
