A quote about what Art is/isn't and the artist ~ the creator, the maker 

"An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo.

And an artist takes it (all of it, the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally.

Art isn’t a result; it’s a journey. The challenge of our time is to find a journey worthy of your heart and your soul.…

Art is a project; it is not a place. You will build your dream house and it will burn down.

You will start your business and it will succeed, until it doesn’t, and then you’ll move on.

You will stand onstage and speak from the heart, and some people in the audience (perhaps just one person in the audience) won’t get you, won’t accept you, won’t embrace you.

That’s what art is.

Art is a leap into the void, a chance to give birth to your genius and to make magic where there was no magic before." ~ Seth Godin

RB Features to date.

Last night, for my own records, I listed in my Red Bubble journal most of the RB features I've received/remembered from over the last few months, while I have been more active there.

Reason being I've noticed Red Bubble is only showing records of the last 16 recent features (listed on a one pager) and then the older records just vanish! Also some of the groups' hosts are having a big clean up and dish to make things easier in their file land management.

My last blog talked about my actively entering works in certain group challenges. Follow my link and you will see some of these results.

Cheers
Kerryn.
