Paper or PC: Finding Your Artistic Balance

People always asks me, “What‘s is your passion? I simply say, ”creativity.” The typical response, ”What do you mean by that?” Basically anything that has a creative meaning, practice, teaching, voice, look, and expressions I’m passionate about it. Everything is art, it’s a art to everything, and our lives art. Finding creative inspiration is all around you and anything creative has a story. And through your creativity people will understand your story. Creatively telling your story will be even more compelling. And when I say telling a story your creativity doesn‘t need words it can be a picture, painting, sculpture, clothing, and etc. So if you need inspiration just look around you and if you can’t find it around you it’s in you.

In today’s time we are in the prime of technology where everything is now digital. The old ways of the world are gone and we all have to adapt to the new, more creative, and innovative way of life. Computers. Phones, Televisions, watches, speakers, headphones, earphones, washers and dryers, and everything else that is digital with a processing system is a computer. With the digital age being a phenomena it affects everything we do especially our personal and creatives lives. Which rises the question; Do you do your creative work on paper first or you just do it all on the computer? Personally speaking I start out with paper it just gives me more of a real feel to my art. With paper I can run amuck and just let my thoughts go on the paper. Paper gives my ideas, thoughts, and first draft a eloquent feel leading to the final product. If I start something on my phone, tablet, or laptop it just doesn’t feel as good as paper. Especially with my literary works pen and pad is just the place for it to start. No screen, no keys, no music, notifications, and distractions just my pen, pad, and me. As far as my drawings, and psychedelic art the computer most of the time but I use paper pretty often. The computer is a lot easier because of the programs they have in place for it, you don’t need to erase just click the back. button and it will go to the previous point of the drawing, easier to color, more access to the tools needed instead of going out and purchasing them when they are already at your disposal on the program in which you use, and lastly easier to edit the finished product.

With art it’s all about balance even from the approach you take when creating. Just find your balance and whatever your approach is as long as the product is what you wanted it to be and your AUDIENCE likes it then hey by all means stick to it. Stay healthy, stay creative, and stay positive.
