Funny animated gif of some homeless dude's pants falling down as he tries to catch a wave on a boogie board. Notice the face-plant... I believe it was actually his face that ultimately stopped his momentum. I bet some 14 year old suburban kid paid this guy 10 bucks to try this so he could put it on YouTube.
Techniques and skill and even a point of view are often handed down, formally or not. It's easier to get started if you're taught, of course.
But art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact--sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
You may be purchasing services from people with magical talents (artists) and it's a mistake to confuse them with vendors.As we get more and more service oriented, it's an easy mistake to make. You're busy buying cleaning services or consulting or design, and sometimes the person you're working with is a vendor, and sometimes they're not--they're an artist, "the talent." A vendor is someone who exists to sell you something. It doesn't always matter to the vendor what's being sold, as long as it's being sold and paid for.The quality of what's being delivered is rarely impacted by the method of transaction. The turnips will still show up, the house will still get painted. You can send an RFP to a vendor, bid it out, get the lowest price, sign the contract and if you write the contract properly, will get what you ordered. The quality of the work you get from the talent changes based on how you work with her.That's the key economic argument for the distinction: if you treat an artist like a vendor, you'll often get mediocre results in return. On the other hand, if you treat a vendor like an artist, you'll waste time and money.
This one was a solid 3 pounds.
This smallie was about 17" @ 2.25 pounds. Attacked the dragonfly and fought me on my 6wt flyrod like there was no tomorrow.
As I've said before, I am not a Star Wars geek.
