The definition of Art I found in the dictionary, although lovely- left something to be desired. So here is my all time favorite definition of art by L Ron Hubbard:
"Art: The quality of communication." He goes on to say, "Perfection cannot be attained at the expense of communication."
Says it all.
So here is the beginning of me trying to share and document my current artistic endeavors. I have no clue how to breach the subject but somewhere in the dictionary as I looked to find the definition of the word fashion, I stumbled upon the word Fantasy- and fell in love with the definitions I found. I am embarked upon the adventure and the struggle of having art be the means by which i make my living but finding out how to keep the adventure and discovery alive and my personal integrity and desire to above all things, create art that communicates and- no matter the form- is art. This is going to be interesting. And never fear friends- Although I am in a contemplative mood on this particular Thursday night- I promise that sometimes i am funny ;) Welcome to the adventure. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do.

I can't wait to see where this goes and I am so thrilled that you wondered into our booth at Bastille Day!
ReplyDeleteRandom question, is that one of those tunnels over near Marathon Village between 10th & 11th? I always thought they'd be perfect for a fashion shoot. :)
