thanks Rob, I'm glad you dig it, mate 🙂

I like playing with line weights and sizes

hehe

You do it well dude

Thanks, I'm glad when people dig it

One of the best feelings is when someone likes your art, amiright

sure, it's the reward: I went into the artistic profession to please the public

i don't do it for me really

i do it for the people

A core part of art is for others to enjoy it

well art is meant to be watched/experienced/listened/observed

it's nothing without a public.

Exactly

You can enjoy doing art, but there’s not a lot of point of you’re not sharing it

you can keep folders and folders of your paintings and never show them to anyone: It's still art but nobody will know it ever was.

that's the real tragedy

the stuff we never get to see or experience

Yep

I think we see eye to eye on that matter, Rob 🙂

Oh yes, great to see someone with the same idea

I think it's the sanest outlook you can have on it

i share others outlook but this is prolly the simplest expression of what it is

I think People nowadays are very quick to criticize any little thing they don’t like, so it creates a negative environment for people to share anything

sure

there's too much stuff

it becomes overwhelming

like a strong perfume

Yeah I feel that

i don't consume art like I used to: i learned to not consume much at all even

i don't like being too inspired

it tends to mess with my originality

Never heard it put that way before, but I definitely see how that works

Makes sense

like losing yourself in too much other people's art can transform your own work

could be positive or negative

but i don't like being too influenced

Yeah, I can tell things of my own art have been inspired by specific things, but I’ve made it still into my own

that's the key

even if you ever do something influenced by someone else: you make it your own
