Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
My journey on Yoors has been exciting and very enlightening, I have been a artist for many years creating music, videos, short movies, writing and too many other things to name or possibly remember at this exact point in time.
I am driven by some unknown force or obsession to create every day and find myself feeling anxious and sometimes depressed when I do not accomplish anything creatively every day, my home and studio are absolutely littered with my own art to the point of cluttering my spaces due to this habit that compels me to repeat the cycle every day with only very few exceptions.
How do I decide what to create?
Everything I create is connected in some way to another piece of art I have created, a natural evolution of a Idea over time.
I write a collection of short stories over the course of 3 months, each story has a cast of characters and they all exist somewhere and survives there by doing some form of work or labour and they have thoughts, dreams and motives of their own. I look at these stories and decide to draw the characters, their homes, points of interest in the world they exist and sometimes if I want to get really weird I draw their dreams and obsessions.
Normally my paintings are grouped in sets that match each other in style and medium to tie them all together nicely, and as bad as it sounds not all the art is great and I only end up marketing, posting and selling the ones I consider the best, 10 out of 30 paintings make that cut except for the very best one, I always keep that one as a reminder of the time I spent creating it all.
Usually I keep all the best paintings together on one shelf in my home, so I tend to look at them a lot and usually they also inspire the music I create, especially murder ballads but some of my sadder love songs I write are also inspired by my short stories, poems and paintings.
What is the bigger picture?
It is my hope and goal to create a body of work where each piece tels a little bit of a story, and for a outsider to completely understand one piece he will have to study the others in order to get the total picture and meaning behind the idea I was working with, somebody might fall in love with a picture and because of that love be drawn to the story that inspired it, and because of that buy the song. In the end it all markets itself and provides a hook that keeps people coming back fore more. #iamacreator
