_{Beware for long journal, but I encourage you to read it X3

Last week in my art college, we had a guest speaker, Robert Kelly (Arist Homepage: [link]), come to talk with us. Some of my watchers may have gone to the presentation, maybe they didn't. But anyways, this man is truly the kind of person born with the amazing ability to inspire others. His presentation was by far, the best visiting artist at my school, to me anyways.

He talked a lot about what was in his book, "Creative Expression, Creative Education", which was actually really interesting! He talked about what time restrictions do to idea development and inspiration. But what he also talked about was how to develop these ideas and how to gain inspiration.

I've noticed a lot here on deviantart, the issue of character theft, trait theft, etc...the list goes on. Now, if you don't know my opinion on this, I strongly believe that a blatant copy of someone's character is completely unacceptable. However there are so many traits that have been used and reused, and sure, when multiple traits are used on one character, it develops that character. But taking one trait from someone else is quite impossible, because they got the trait elsewhere too (yes, I understand positioning plays a part in originality).
It's a bit difficult for me to explain, so don't bite my head off anyone .

Robert Kelly said "ideas shouldn't be a secret, they should be shared". Basically, be generous with your ideas. Any great artist will take that idea and build upon it, and the end result will be a combination of many ideas, something completely different from the first idea.

He also said, that even if someone "steals your idea", yours AND theirs are still different.
For example: Two people go to the park together and one says they are going to draw that tree over there but add a bird perched at the top, and the other person decides to stand/sit behind them and copy. While the ideas are the same, the pictures are still different.
Why? Because when you draw a picture, when you paint, when you carve, or whatever!, you are putting yourself into that piece. No one can copy who you are or what makes you, you. Your art is, no matter what anyone may say, a reflection of yourself. You control your hand with your brain differently than someone else who "copies" you.

Sure someone can teach you a technique so that you get it nearly 100%, but chances are either you or the person who taught you, will find a shortcut or something that adds to that technique. There! See! A shared "idea" was just built upon, making it a new idea! The reality is, all real artists want to be different in their art. I don't think I know any real artist who wants to do something that is already done. I think it's just human pride. But it's also a partial definition of an artist; an artist wants to create something new, and new also means different.

As for inspiration, this guy was nuts! He said to stimulate yourself with the things you enjoy most, to get inspiration. But do it differently. I'm not quite sure exactly what you could do, but hey, artists always come up with something. Robert Kelly was inspired by a simple sentence from a conversation with one of his friends, which then sparked many ideas, and his end result was making a book of every word in the sentence and then placing each book on podiums.

The Book of The, was probably the most interesting and exciting book. Sure, you open it, and every single page is filled with the word "The" over and over and over again. Boring. His concept? The word "The" makes whatever is placed behind it, important. By repeating it over and over again, it made the word unimportant. You might think that's weird, but Robert Kelly must have done a damn lot of thinking and idea generating to come up with that. He reached in and grabbed the meaning of the word and changed it, while also using it in the bigger picture of his piece. I dunno, I think that's amazing XD.

I think that's all I really wanted to say. Forgive me because, I really don't know the point of this journal, but I just thought about everything he talked about, and really how true it is. And how inspiring he was too ;3. I guess I just wanted to share! I'm curious of your thoughts, and what arguments people would make with him...}- -- ----- --------------------------- ----- -- -_{Thank you for reading and visiting !

_{Some of you may or may not know, that I am extremely....EXTREMELY excited about the new Pokemon DS games coming out in March (Soul Silver and Heart Gold)!!!

Gold and Silver (and Crystal) were my favourite pokemon game generations and just when I thought I was done with getting all of the games (I only bought Fire Red and Pearl in the last couple years or so), my favourite generation is being redone.

Now, I'm a crazy lunatic for Pokemon again. I would always get into Pokemon moods, usually when I was stressed out or when I missed the good old days.

I want to know if any of you currently have Pearl, Diamond or Platinum friend codes that I may add.

I've been leeching off of someone's wifi here in my college dorm lol! I suspect they're somewhere above my floor, cause I can't get a 2 bar signal unless I'm in random high places in my room XD. I'm so desperate lmao.

So yes umm..comments...notes? Anyone ;0;?

_{Just over 2 weeks has gone by since I decided to go on hiatus...I guess I am back.... sort of

Lately, I've been wanting to go to a new school (infact, *Meerin and *Jay6-The-Canadian go to that school). I originally looked into it 2 years ago but I couldn't go because of how expensive it was, and even now, my parents are trying to make me give up on it. It's kind of tough being beaten down about it, all because of money. I think that if you want to do something you love, that no matter the price, you should go for it. They don't feel the same way. I don't know what to do.

My art. I'm not sure where I stand. I've just been very unhappy with it for the last 4+ weeks. I want to begin lineless works. I've always loved lineless art, and while I find myself addicted to lines (that I'm not even satisfied with), I just want to break free and try something new.

I also had a minor setback too. My 4-in-1 Printer wasn't compatible with the Windows 7 Upgrade I got (which I installed over Christmas break). Finally after finding the right drivers and uninstalling my printer, it works! So I can scan stuffs now! Woo!

I'm finding it hard, with 5 classes a week again (one each day), to get my own art out. I begin, then I stop because I'm just too tired. Major stress. Eep.

I've met some great people in the last couple weeks though. I enjoyed talking in a couple livestreams, and I've made some friends in my new classes! So things aren't so bad!

To get myself back on track...I hope to do some giftart...of dragons...for people...but I haven't entirely chosen who the gifts are for yet (except for 2 people).}- -- ----- --------------------------- ----- -- -_{Thank you for reading and visiting !
