I am not that guy.

I have grown very secure in my art style and feel others should as well. I encourage conversation about art, I don't encourage cheating or disloyatly to one's identity or the development of ones brand for favor of someone elses presentation. This defeats the purpose of creation, and sets a horrible presedent.

Plagurism is more than just taking the words of someone else and calling it your own. Copyright infringment is more than just taking the Youtube post and suggesting you are the one that produced the music and idea and had nothing to do with the production.

No when we learn to love ourselves then we won't have these minor poblems and suffer less from the blockage of creation. We expand and develop great ideas.

There are youtube video's that support the idea that are biased and according to GDC standards:  Shaddy Saffadi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYbYvImd7Bw (Concept Art is Dead). Yet none of this is achieveable if we are asked to be like "Everyone Else."

I spoke to a freind who I think is a great artist, this is what he had to say about art.

~I believe you simply have to let go a bit of that anticipation for what *should* be, and embrace what *is*. There is an audience for you today, and even if most people are couch potatoes, there is a way to reach them. You just have to not stop creating, and educate yourself in how to publish your own works and reach out to people in this digital day and age.

Books and art and music is by FAR not dead - it's bigger than ever, since it's more accessible than ever. More people want to learn about art and music, and books are being read and listened to every day by people from all walks of life. The future will be ruled not by the engineers, programmers and left-brainers, but much more of the right-brainers because we need creativity and soul when the computers have replaced humans for most of this left-brain work.

Don't get discouraged - see it as a challenge to fight through it and do what you feel is right. Search within yourself, and you will find what calls you.

 (I am keeping this artist anonymos because he does not know I am talking about him. He might read this and be interested, who knows.)

 I would love to work Shaddy because he believes in, "The Progression of The Design," which is fundamentally what we as artists, all believe. We would just like to be able to keep a little of ourselves as we journey.
