So u fink u can desiign - (best Souf Efrican accent ekse.)


So u fink u can desiign? - (best Souf Efrican accent ekse.)

U just a "tart-my-art"  wannabe creative hack!!!!!!!!!!! - eish, lekker brand ne!! Burn boetie burn. 

As a creative one is endowed with a certain in built artistic confidence. An artists confidence to continually try to express your ideas through sketch, dance or whatever the medium of your choice is. As you get older you realise every force has an equal opposite reactive force. So the more you push creative ideas, the more you meet resistance to these concepts. This is all very normal. Its the wild war that one wages and rages on in your mind. Mostly against yourself and every so often an external creative critic will whip you senseless and render you completely irrelevant for a moment in time. 

Mostly i don't mind all the resistance in all and every form, its the reality of expressing creative thought outside your own mind. You gonna get side swiped. Its part of the territory. Welcoming some people into your thought space they will try to paint the interior everything to complete black. They will try burn your inner house down. These types , possibly once they where artists who are currently damaged and cannot  grow creative design ideas themselves. Perhaps they can but they are bitter you dare to dabble where they tread. Maybe the phase will pass however the damage is done but its not permanent. Thats the beauty of creativity its about constant regrowth. 

However every so often you will doubt yourself. You go through a process of reflective creative design ninnyism. A self pity party feeling. Where you feel sorry for your self that everything youve ever creatively done is complete rubbish!!! Rubbish!!! i tell you!!! Then you have a little sleep and awaken with an entire new creative idea to spend every waking hour over. That is the plight of a creative artist and the work they endeavor to do shifts and turns like the tides. 

However as you get older you realise the confidence to draw artistic creative endeavor is to keep you yourself personally sane. The process of creativity is to align your very own mind. So dont let the paint everything black noodlenuts win. Stick it to them i say, so go be artistically creative. Dont take yourself too seriously. But make yourself believe in your own artistic ability. Dont let these stenken buzz killers win.

Dont worry if your creative artistic whidpers are never ever heard by others. Worry if you stop wanting to whisper. 

Boy dont get me started on the AI soon to paint everything human imagined the same colour grey. A utilitarianistic artistic tool of choice for the new prompt creative critics. My prediction for all this AI artistic creativity is soon it will turn everything to the same insipid grey colour. Breakfast, lunch, supper pills will be better suited for humans, so they can work more efficiently. None of this day dreaming, musing and lazing about twaddle. 

AI like concrete poured over a very fertile field. The beautiful organic roses will push through the thick crust.  Because real human thought creative endeavor is such a rose. Its organic and its real, its not data harvisting all human creativity made manifest into a naked grey painting.
