Copy and Paste

It’s almost too easy now…

You can walk into the store purchase the mannequin’s outfit and put it on tomorrow. Stylish (today). But you’ve copied and pasted.

You can choreograph a new dance for your studio and add a taste of Gangham Style. Funny. But, again, you’ve copied and pasted.

In your pursuit of the creating the next great burger chain you can add “your” version of The Secret/1000 Island Sauce. Good. And, once more, you’ve copied and pasted.

Fulfillment in your work will be found when instead of describing it to be “like” something, you can say “this unlike anything you’ve ever seen.”

The reward is in the work, in the creative, and in revealing what The Muse has whispered that only you can decipher.

Say no to metaphorical right-clicking copying and pasting.

Now that art is involved….

Back in the day (not long ago), art wasn’t blessed within the lines of commerce.

We just wanted the news and maybe The Late Show.

We just wanted a pair of shoes.

We just wanted a hotel for the night.

We just wanted a cup of coffee.

No room for art here in these wants.

But that was then and this is now.

We just wanted a pizza when that is all Dominoes offered. Now enter Cane Rosso to open pandoras box on what you thought a pizza was. You didn’t know you wanted art with your pizza did you?

We just wanted to make mobile calls when that is all Motorola offered. Now enter Steve Jobs and with his cronies looking to bring sexy back with your phone. You didn’t know wanted fashion and art with your phone did you?

We just wanted to take a picture, but Instagram knew we wanted to make art. You din’t know you could be or wanted to be an artist did you?

Look at who is gaining market share and you’re going to find a bunch of artist, modern day hippies, ex-hippies, and so called “randoms” shaking things up and changing the world.

Intro to Art, in my opinion, is just as necessary as Intro to Business in your career development.

Behind The Scenes

We can see and hear who has bloodied their fingers for years in the guitar solo scene.

We can see who practiced free throws in the 4th quarter scene.

We can see who connected, who prospected, and who studied the market in the closing the sale scene.

The solo perfected scene, the free throw made scene, and the closing the sale scene only can happen because of what has happened behind them.

The same goes for the missed solo, missed free throw, and the sale fail. These guys have predecessors too.

We all want to star the scene, but the limelight tends to find those who have courted their art for years in the dim light.

We Are…

We are all artists. Yes – that includes you too.

With an endless supply of paint, we all must reveal, expose, and unlock the insight into the way we see the world. Humanity doesn’t move forward without us doing this.

Again, paint supply is not the issue…that is replenished every morning within you.

Where we are lacking is in the canvas department.

We are what we art.

We think…

We think we’re after making a living, but our soul is really after the production and exchange of art.

We think retirement sounds nice, but our hands were meant to create.

We think we want to be settled, but our feet are wrapped in Nikes and hate being idle.

Converse with your soul,

then allow your hands to respond with creation,

then move your art to the marketplace.
