Artistic Evolution

I overheard a woman openly bashing digital art the other day. She said it was a talentless and pointless. Besides thinking she was ignorant, I had this light bulb moment. Art has evolved. We have left the older generations behind. If we look back, throughout history- This has occurred repeatedly. Not just with art, but with music.

All around us we evolve and leave behind the people who don’t understand societys growth as a whole. Self expression is easier than its ever been. Sure maybe fine arts has fallen out of the limelight but there are still people, artists- souls that practice the trade. Visionaries of all kinds. I don’t believe the evolution is in the media used- rather I believe it is in the broadness of interpretation. Its becoming more and more acceptable to express anything you have the urge to - in nearly any way.

With that said, I encourage you to accept growth. If you are one of those people that doubt the talent that goes into digital expression, or any other kind of expression.. try to let it go. It’s a new age- where expression in any form, is beautiful.

Here are some links for your consideration:

Pencil Lead Carvings

For this man, patience is not an issue. No, he isnt expressing anything BIG but hes doing it because he loves it- after all isn’t that the point to begin with? http://copytaste.com/x113
