The individual creative spark concept

In my mind, in order for an artist to interpret shapes, patterns and form, you need to sketch what one sees first. You need to decipher what your seeing through a simple set of line drawings. This i call a spark process. Getting rid of the vast visual noise and quitening down the full detail patterns. I suppose like a musician hears music and notes in the sounds of wind and sea. We see shape and form in the earth and sky. Its this fascination to interpret these things unique to ones own perspective that drives all artists. This for me is one reason that life is very exciting. Your perspective would be very different to mine - Equally im sure as spark worthy. Its this difference in interpretation of what we see individually, which makes us artistically unique and valuable.

Moves us away from robotic repetition and aligns us towards our own unique individualistic artistic interpretations.  Because the world is gearing towards becoming more and more globally artistically AI connected. It would be sad if the strong interpretation of a few dictated the tastes of the many. Obviously this would never ever happen if you never allowed it. That a man would rule another mans artistic interpretations to his injury!!

No you must fight to keep your own artistic spark tastes.

Its why you must keep sketching, interpreting and deciphering your own artistic perspective. Heres a few sketches from my note books over the many years. Not for you, for me to try make sense of this mal (afrikaans word for mad) patterned world around us. We sketch to discover, we draw to interpret and we doodle to decipher. 















Incase your spinning little ol pip is wondering - The shadow in some of the pics is actually intentional - Adds a bit of wildetecture drama. And you thought i was just an amatuer photographer. That i very much am, however I am also a shadow sculpture silhouette artist as well. Who apparently cant dpell or brammer, but here we are. 

I wont ever distill my writing through AI. Always raw incorrect and pure human unaligned. These new make you look perfect venneers are working us all towards painting the human creative pallette black. Human individualism is dying on the battlefield of mediocre creatives wanting to appear talented. No matter how much one prompts AI we still wont have the talent of Leonardo, Van Gogh and incredible artists of yore.
