In many ways my artistic mind has always functioned like a camera, seeking to reproduce rather creative new (this is why I also think I have a natural and untrained knack for photography). But that had always been my style - pick a subject, study it, upscale it, downscale it, replicate it. I think this is also why photorealist artists like Simon Stรฅlenhag, Marc-Andrรฉ Castanger (Earthcrusher), and Yoann Merienne are my favorite contemporary (non bitcoin) artists. However, few me, if my subject disappeared so did my artistry it seemed, I always struggled to create my own freeform artwork that I would feel proud of. At some point in college, I become extremely self critical of this flaw, I let it become an artistic insecurity, and begin a slow journey away from art via simple neglect. But Inspired by the community that is #bitcoin I am compelled and energized to pick up the pen again after so many years. But this time I want to do it by embracing my artistic insecurities rather than avoiding them. I am finally ready to go with them and through them, to see where they lead and to discover how I may grow artistically. That is why these โSATโ pieces are interesting and special to me. When I draw the starting shape, I know it will be off, it will be wholly imperfect no matter what I do. Each time I make a starting shape, something in me recoils and bristles at this initially, but Im learning to let it pass. I realize that unless I want this project to be an avante-garde exercise in wasting hundreds of sheets of expensive marker paper in the act of getting nowhere, I must adapt. When a shape is โtooโ off I correct it with a new line, I see now that this creates blocked off spaces that I can either fill in or leave negative for artistic effect. And whatโs more, Iโm realizing that viewer, one who may enjoy my art, does not see these as โmistakes.โ What is a challenging process to immerse in randomness and haphazard whimsy for me, may strike anotherโa eyes as calculated, deliberate, inspiring, or even profound. And this, to me, is a beautiful thought. ๐๐งก๐ค๐ฟโก๏ธ #Art #Artstr #Plebchain #GrowNostr https://image.nostr.build/5bca4356d5d8817e7e193feb19516a0984f9adb46e3250acbb442a95e1d572bf.jpg https://image.nostr.build/a99de8184b486d06fcbf10ec5d28ecd1f24d9ba144df89e069bbc207549ab0f3.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6320e613ccfb88e78ee50a44f0dbcca6355d85e2b844aa4b17c066527ab16211.jpg
