Some More Thoughts on Where I Am and Why I Am Creating More and More Art -

When I create art it seems to me that I either with a photograph or an abstract create a world or situation that does not quite exist in the every day normal world either for very long *(when I capture an interesting moment) or at all (when I create an abstract image that does not seem to resemble anything at all of the world that we are able to see - In this way I am able to either expand my existence to encompass the moment that I have capture in a photograph or to remain in a world that I saw within my mind and actually live there and very often create entire new universes within that inner world - These moments or new worlds, are for me, extremely enjoyable to live within and when I am in them there are many new and exciting thoughts and ideas that come to me that I can and will eventually bring to my reality - It is my hope that the sharing of these images may either touch some of the viewers in the same way or simply encourage them to do the same type of creating for themselves - And while it is true that I am extremely happy and entriqued with every one of the new worlds that I have created so far - there is absolutely no way that I want to stop exploring within for new and exciting places to be -

more on what is art and is what I create Art -

OMG - I just thought of something - what happens if someone makes a purchase from me thinking that what I have created is a real work of art - and then wow the entire knowledgeable world comes and says to that person that what they have purchased is not real art - what should I do? what should they do? why did they think that what I was showing in my collection of art was really really really really art - should I try and change their mind? should I go forward and try and create art which fits everyone else's definition of what art is? should I take a ride on a motorcycle and look for Dr House and Wilson? or can I possibly continue on as I have been doing - creating the images that I absolutely love to create and have been creating for most of my entire life? The real question is what would you do - faced with the prospect that the entire world might consider what you love to do - if the entire world came out from their corners of the world and proclaimed now that you had finally sold something - that what you had sold was not really art? or would you run right back to this particular thread right here on LinkedIn (where I originally wrote this post) and try and convince all of the people of the world (and the few people here on this thread) that what you are creating ------- well - is art?

An Interesting Idea and taking it and making it work for Myself!

just last night a very sweet and gentle young lady from Japan now living in California sent me a message about how difficult times are for her in California now and how she was asking for donations in order to keep her beautiful art pure and without commercialization - I did not hesitate about donating some money since I had seen a great deal of her work which is most astounding - and then I began to think - in all honesty - my very own situation - if I do not make any sales soon at the prices that I have set - may actually become similar to her's and with the amount of art (over 175,000 images) that I have already placed on the Internet and about another 200,000 waiting on my computer to be uploaded - perhaps I could encourage people to make a slight donation even as small as $1.00 (or a much lager amount if they like) if they feel that there has been some value in their being able to view my art for free in my online galleries (I do not make prints or canvases to hang on walls of galleries or museums which in my mind makes my work even rarer than any limited editions since only if a person really really really likes a piece after they have looked and liked it so much that they are willing to pay the prices that I ask for) and so I went ahead and placed this concept in this new digital fundraising that my friend had utilized and sent to me so that perhaps times might be only slightly better for myself as well - here is what I was able to create: http://fnd.us/c/fdFga/sh/62B00d and perhaps you might have an idea how to share this with others who might be interested in viewing my art and may perhaps enjoy the experience well enough that they might be interested in contributing to my existed to go further on with my current project - http://www.kulesearch.com/kulebuzz972/THE-MOST-POWERFUL-IDEA-ON-THE-PLANET.html thank you!

what is art?

J. P. Getty - who was not only an avid collector of art but so much so that he created an entire museum: The Getty Museum which I am sure plays a great role in our society today as to what is perceived as art says this: " Like most serious collectors, I by no means consider the works of art I own as inanimate ornamental possessions. To me they are vital embodiments of their creators. They mirror the hopes and frustrations of those who created them-and the times and places in which they were created. Although the artist may be long dead, and even the civilizations in which they worked long since disintegrated, their art lives on."

Tools

well - for me at least - life is a continual learning process - and learning about and connecting with new people is always always always part of that learning process - as a face to face networking process my "Doubling Project" far surpasses any other face to face forum (especially when it comes to fitting things into my own rigorous time schedule) while the tools that are available on Facebook Fan Pages as well as the LinkedIn System are continually improving - and it has been quite obvious to me during most of my life how different tools become alive and work differently for each individual using them - so if you are having success with the tools here on LinkedIn - I would say - great - but don't stop learning and of course experimenting - and if they are not working take some time and - learn how to let the tools do the work -what some of us - including myself - may want to do is to create or invent some even more powerful tools that will suit our different situations even more so than what already exists - but that of course demands a great deal of time and thought - ……………………………………………

My Story -

Ahhh – the story – well I am an artist – and how many times does the story of Van Gogh get told to so many artist to make them believe that they may perhaps be lucky if they get to sell one painting in their lifetimes only later to look back at earth from their spiritual existence after death and find that – well finally the world of high end art collectors has now not only finally valued what they have created but this world of art has jettisoned their creation’s prices way out into the stratosphere of astronomical prices very often way beyond the comprehension of so many everyday citizens understanding and still it is the truth that the value of these art works do not come close yet to what they finally will be worth – and so utilizing the tools and means of the different technologies that we have been given today I aim not ever to be an artist again (there was a time in my part life where I was always living on pennies) and to attempt to sell my work for some more of those pennies just to get enough in order to create my next art piece – but to take advantage of the tools of technology that I see that today’s world has given so many people and create as many images of art that I possibly can while I am alive and also to get paid a decent amount for any prints or canvases that people do order from my collection of art that has grown to over 175,000 in number till this point in time so far – and I know as well that I have just begun with what is inside of me to yet create – I thank God – Spirit – the Energy inside of me – every moment that I am alive that I do not get distracted by anything in this world – from accomplishing this activity of expression which is inside of me – and which I have set out to accomplish!!!! ……………………………………..

Stories About Growing My Business!

There are many stories that I can share with you about how my business has grown over the years and I am willing to share these stories with you but the main concept that I think might benefit you the most is that my focus has always been on what it is that I am doing at any particular moment in time - without that focus the work that I have been doing overall would not have benefited anyone - In other words - I must do at any given point in time - my best for each individual that I have right in front of me in order to be able to go on and serve anyone else - If I did not do my best for any particular individual - that "mistake" - "error" or "accident" would be haunting me throughout the rest of my days - In other words - where could I possibly go in order to hide from myself - cover up the mistake that I had done and shoved it all under the rug in order to be able to take a deep breathe and go on to the next assignment - It has not been that way - since each and every person has been the greatest opportunity staring me in the face and it has been my challenge to make sure that I have done my best to meet the needs of each of these individuals who have entrusted me with the challenge that they have been facing at that point in time - So, In that light of things - what is your specific challenge at this point in time - I will do my best - whatever it is to point you to what I have produced in order to guide you to find the path that will accelerate you in the direction and at the right speed for where it is that you want to go - But most of all I share with you the main philosophy that has allowed me to make such great quantum leaps in my own business growth: The slower you go the faster you get to where you want to be because if you are enjoying where you are you don't have to go anywhere! …………………………………………………
