words vs pictures

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 28, 2011, 6:12 PM
abc
there are times
when we've had enough
of images
and we need some words

cyril, better known as *KizukiTamura
has gone from dA again
i don't know why

but in wondering
i am aware

everything about modern consumer life
promotes the cliche
the hardworking network marketeer

those who have a strategy for being popular
are popular
regardless of the quality
or and especially the originality
of their work

so frustrating it must be
for those who try to promote
the original
and the experimental

the world is becoming very similar
every city on this planet is starting to look the same

those who ruthlessly promote themselves
can achieve commercial success
while those who strive to promote others
and to promote originality
are constantly banging their heads against a brick wall

remember
everything that is good in this world
was built by people with ideals and passion

if they sell out
find fame and fortune
good luck to them

but there are too many projects
too many artists
just built on the drive to self promote
regardless of the quality of service or product

and they are contributing to the ruin
of the world, society, culture and everything

be creative
be yourself
be aware

don't be another
fortune seeking cliche merchant
with an X-factor
but no idea WHY!

yesterday
when i found cyril had left dA
it first alarmed me
then made me sad...
will miss his ways

thank you for your words
i'm happy cyril leaving leads to this meaningful discussion... :boing:

"or simply strive to make the world better in small simple ways"
yes small simple reactions
to what happens
to what i see
others express
will do
these days i feel
it's all a matter of energy

wish you happy creation! :sun:

The artist needs to be involved in his art. This is what matters.

I am more aware every day that passes that I won´t find a place for my art (and actually for myself, even among "friends") because I refuse to follow the rules of lobbying and networking.

HOWEVER I feel that one should use whatever means there are to put one's work out there, and create more and more. It is an obligation as an artist. Whithout that, everything is lost.

there is a perfect place for everything
and things should be unique
but instead
we mass produce things
which are never entirely suitable

we can all do something
and get something in return
but our opportunities and limited
by those who want everything
those who want to be everywhere
