Criticize by Creating.

We think in secret, and it comes to pass. Our environment is but our looking glass.

One creates from nothing.  If you try to create from something you're just changing something.  So in order to create something you first have to be able to create nothing.

Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you.

If I don't put effort toward creating what I want, I have to put effort toward coping with what I get.

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how.  The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.  The artist never entirely knows.  We guess.  We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

SETH said:  Each person alive helps paint the living picture of civilization as it exists at any given time, in your terms.  Be your own best artist.  Your thoughts, feelings, and expectations are like the living brush strokes with which you paint your corner of lifes landscape.  If you do your best in your own life, then you are indeed helping to improve the quality of all life.  Your thoughts are as real as snowflakes or raindrops or clouds.  They mix and merge with the thoughts of others, to form mans' living-scape, providing the vast mental elements from which physical events will be formed.

An artists job is to see.  And to go out in the world and see it firsthand, just as it is; to report with line and words what is seen.  To be in the world, not just study about the world, that is the artists task

Either you are creating your life or the circumstances are.

The most visible creators are those artists whose medium is life itself. The ones who express the inexpressible - without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar. They neither paint nor sculpt. Their medium is simply being. Whatever their presence touches has increased life. They see, but don't have to draw...
Because they are the artists of being alive.
