An #artist is someone who sees and feels realty very intensely. #Creativity doesn't mean just making things up out of thin air. It means seeing and feeling the world so vividly that you can put together connections and patterns that help to explain reality.

When #drawings are encased in a #sketchbook, they become special. Even if it’s just a feverish scrawl or a dubious scribble, the drawing I am making in my sketchbook becomes #Art to me. It will join its many thousands of brethren arrayed at attention on my bookshelf, assured a place in my heart.

The name I’ve struggled with the most is “artist”.
I very rarely feel comfortable introducing myself as an artist. A writer, sure, absolutely, but as soon as you say that you’re "an artist," people will say, oh, really, what kind of art do you make?
Danny Gregory, Artist. Damned glad to meet you.

Life can force us to armor up. As we endure traumas, abuse, judgment, we layer on defenses to protect us from what has happened. As they say in the Pentagon, we are always preparing to fight the last war.
Do you need it all? Check your gear and see if, maybe, it’s possible to lighten your load.

When you start affecting people with your ideas, when you connect with them, and they respond and help develop your ideas — that's when you realize what you do matters.
And let me tell you, that's a powerful motivator.
And I want to thank you, sincerely, for allowing me to do it.

Every successful #artist gives birth to thousands of ideas.
Most are dead on arrival.
We build on what we learned from that short-lived notion.
When that, in turn, collapses, we stomp it down and climb astride the ruins to try again.
It’s a powerful process — if we let it happen.

We're becoming people who notice things, who are present in our own lives, who find the extraordinary in the ordinary. We're not just passing time; we're marking it, holding it, celebrating it, living it - one small #drawing at a time.

So true of me.

You know someone who needs a #RAK.
Go through your unused art supplies and pick out a few to pass on. Write a note on why you like these materials or if you never used them, what you intended with these materials and how the user might accomplish what you never got to do.
