// ' * , ` ' . __________ almost PARADISE

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

you've probably already seen this, but...

presently stuck on (in a good way)

Draw the art you want to see, make the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read.


and "Do good work, and put it where people can see it."

and "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

10. Creativity is subtraction.

It’s often what an artist chooses to leave out that makes the art interesting. What isn’t shown vs. what is.

In this age of information overload and abundance, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what to leave out, so they can concentrate on what’s important to them.

Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things.

What makes you interesting isn’t just what you’ve experienced, but also what you haven’t experienced.

The same is true when you make art: you must embrace your limitations and keep moving.

Creativity isn’t just the things we chose to put in, it’s also the things we chose to leave out. Or black out.
