The Creative Way

You are not normal… Within you there are strange ideas, bizarre thoughts and twisted plans. Before you reveal them to the world,these should consider the consequences. Society will reject you and nobody wants to be an outcast. Humans are very social creatures and we fear social rejection. If you want to be a creative person, you have to get over this fear and be prepared to be mocked. An artist works from the heart and the heart, unlike the brain does not have a social conscience. The heart...

I went to an art market the other night. It was supported by the government and was supposed to showcase up and coming artists. They even had little studios where they could create their wonders for the world. The market was embarrassing. They were not artists, they were people pretending and wishing they were artists. True artists are not afraid of getting out into the world and letting the public decide whether or not their art is good. If their art sells, then the public likes it and it...

A show from my new site yourinfiniteheart.com

How do you be creative when you have no idea what you want to say? How can you create a work of art when you don’t know how to express your heart? If you are seeking a core expression for your creative work, start observing your own actions. What is it that you really think is important in life? It could be as simple as good manners or as complicated as ‘science meets religion’. It does not matter, as long as you keep looking for it, until it is clear in your mind. Only then, do you have a...

I recently cam across flavors.me and about.me Both sites give you a free one page website. What a great challenge! See what your creative mind can do with one page. Here are 3 that I did: seascapes.me flavors.me/seascapes about.me/colinperini Add your link to my comments and I will put you on my links page. Let’s see how creative (funny?) you can be.

Ever wondered why monks and other religious fanatics get a look of serenity about them?Society of course has painted a romantic picture about them being close to perfection or a god or some other mystical, magic power.Want to know what the truth situation is?They are all brain dead. They are comatose from not living in the real word. They have spent their lives not working, without familiy responsibilities, not paying taxes or even having to make an effort to get food or clothing.Put a child in a mind-numbing situation where he is not allowed to think, be an individual or make an effort and you ...

Careful! Creativity is not welcome here It’s not easy being an artist, especially if you are normal. If you do all of the normal things that most other people do and believe all of the ordinary things that most other people do, there is not much chance that you will ever be extra-ordinary! If you want to be creative, you cannot be ordinary, you need to learn to be extraordinary. The media pounds people’s minds into submission so that we all think the same way, buy the same products, mock the...

Normal makes me sick Television, movies, music and magazines all applaud conventional behaviour. Even the ‘radical’ behaviour that they pretend to encourage, demands that the observer still conforms to the rules of ‘outrageous’. It is not easy to be a non-conformist because you make most people feel very uncomfortable. As soon as you suggest an idea that is abstract or odd, you are branded as weird, not in a nice way but in a way that would have you outcast from society. People do not like...

You’ve got a problem and it’s YOU! The road of life is scattered with sharp bits, stinging things and bad luck. No good complaining about it, that’s just the way this planet is built. You can pretend it is a beautiful world and make associated cooing sounds of wonder and amazement but bad luck and awful things will keep on attacking you. Anyway, on this planet beauty is mainly visual. In this world the meanest, toughest and fastest get the best bits. The nice people get the leftovers. So what...

Creative thinking… sort of I saw a man on his morning walk. He was not thin but he was still walking briskly. Then I noticed that he was adjusting his belt. He was making it tighter. That proved it! A brisk morning walk makes you lose weight. So unless you want to lose weight and become a skinny weakling… don’t do it! It’s observations as fickle as this that many people base their life’s convictions upon! Idiots! Life is much more than that foolish body of yours can ever interpret. Let go of...

Stop complaining, you can afford to wait 2 minutes to be impressed by my friend Len Hend’s latest video. Sit back and marvel at the ease with which this genius creates beautiful art.

My friend Len Hend is an art teacher and master artist. With 30 years experience and sales of 1000′s of paintings, he is undoubtedly an expert in his field. After this much experience it is not surprising to learn that he is a very fast painter. Yet, for most people this is not good. In the mind of the public, thanks to the idiots who call themselves critics, a fast painting cannot be a good painting. Of course this is simply jealous stupidity on behalf of the narrow conventional critics who...

It is very frustrating to feel that you have some sort of hidden talent but you cannot find it. Sometimes it is because you haven’t pursued it long enough, sometimes it simply eludes you. When you really wish you had a particular talent, then you should take notice and do something about it! Follow something along those lines. If you wish you could paint, it does not mean you have to become a classic oil painter. You could use acrylics, pastels, pencils, mud…whatever excites your imagination....

If you slow down and think for a moment, there is an important point that I would like you to consider: Human beings are idiots. We take ourselves very seriously, in fact we love to glorify ourselves to the extent that we have become blind to our own foolishness. Let’s consider one major point. Who destroyed the hills, the sea, the mountains and the plains? Who polluted the oceans and the rivers? We can’t blame the animals or the environment or even the insect world. It was humanity, those...

10 Serious things I wonder about If infinity is the biggest, what’s two times infinity? Is time either side of now? If I’m out of my mind what am I into? Can I be shadow of my former self on a cloudy day? Is it time that I stopped not starting? Is it better to wait for later if now is taking too long? Can I suddenly remember that I have lost my memory? Can there be more questions than answers? How can I ever be sure if I don’t know everything? Where was I before I was born?
