when an artist wants to show you their art
or a writer wants you to read what they’ve written
it’s quite often an expression of trust
because a poem or a story or a painting are often things that come from the heart
little pieces of the artists themselves
and if they’re willing to share it with you
you should appreciate it

Artists strive every day, every waking hour trying to find inspiration, to improve, and try to find a place for themselves and their art in this world… As Becky said, people tend to take design/art for granted. it’s something that surrounds us every day of our life and it’s something that people dont realize how much research and time it takes to produce it. The fact that art students dont write papers everyday doesn’t make us any less “smart”. Just like anybody, we’re people who has a passion and goal in mind that we’re working towards.
I am an artist (or an art student to be specific), and I have non artist friends. Really smart ones. It always somewhat bothered me, because regardless of whether or not they realize it, their attitude towards me is sometimes somewhat condescending. I know that they don’t always mean it, but I’m…
