Enjoying art is like enjoying fruit

fruit

You don’t need an education to know which fruit you like.

You could travel around the world and become a fruit connoisseur, learning about growth, sun, hydration, wind, soil, transportation, nutrients, combinations, chemistry, ancestry, but you don’t need this knowledge to enjoy fruit.

The same goes for art. Don’t let anyone tell you you should “know more” before you can form an opinion.

 

Jerry & George Procrastinating (Seinfeld)

I’ve started an internet diet. Less E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube…

I even started turning off my wifi for 3 hours a day so I can focus more.

I hope it will result in more and better ideas.

Let’s see what happens!

 

Sketching

The last 12 months I have been posting my sketch process to my Instagram.

I’ve always wondered how computer sketches are perceived. Usually, an unfinished digital work does not look like a sketch, it just looks like a not-so-good-work. Pencil sketches are clear: they are in process, the artist is still searching.
