Artist...
happy and sad. Art provides society with hope.
And the people who create it every day knowing
they will be judged hold the key to pure emotion.
Artist stare vulnerability in the eyes daily and say, I
got this! Most people won’t do anything where the
outcome is unknown and run from awkwardness;
artists embrace it and feed off it. The desire to create
something, release in front of the world and with no
idea how others will approve or not is Gangster.
Art plays a significant role in society and has been
around more than 15,000 years. It is always created
and forever changing. Art changes the world and
keeps it the same. Take some time out of your busy
life and enjoy it in all of its forms. And the next time
you meet an artist, HUG them and say thank you for
all you create and have created.
