Aug. 5th, 2024 10:44 pmFound on the internets today:
Making art and not selling it is an act of rebellion against a world that believes it's only worth doing something if it makes money.
Making art and not selling it is an act of rebellion against a world that doesn't want to see artists thrive because it's afraid of our power.
Making art and not selling it is an act of rebellion in a world that wants you to conform and stay small.
Making art for the attention is an act of rebellion in a world that overglorifies humility and shames those who seek to make impact.
Making art and not sharing it on social media is an act of rebellion in a world that believes that doing something just for yourself is selfish.
Making art to delight yourself alone is an act of rebellion in a world that demands productivity and measurable outcomes for every action.
Also, tonight I heard of a photographer who doesn't develop his film. He is more interested in taking the photos, in seeing and connecting with what is around him, than he is in having images.
