Most Probably....


last night i was talking to a friend about the upcoming college test results(scary music plays in the background...scary and haunting!boo!!) and since both of us were "Aspiring" artists, we talked about art.

her course was advertising arts and mine was architecture but both of us enjoy art in general and so our conversation began. 

she was nervous about life, she was nervous about her work as an artist. "what if I'm not in the mood to paint or draw? what if I'm not able to find work?! what if I'm not able to think of a concept on time and..what if.." and after a few "what if's" i tried to help. i borrowed some quote from the Christmas cottage(a movie) that art, is not about the artist, art is about friends,laughter...art is about life.  and i told her as myself, that you will never run out of art because god will always continue to inspire us, god will always help us.  i also shared a few something something that i do when i find myself in times of trouble(woah, Beatles eh?! just watched across the universe...yeah,anyways)

and the conversation went like this. 

Philip: the best i do is try to put the best and the worst in me in my art..i try to put myself in it. but of course, like what I've said, art is not about the artist, art is about life, and so art is about your life.

Pam: well what if in my job I'm not ale to think quick enough?

Philip: well i guess you just have to be inventive and more creative. art, for me, sometimes just comes, but you also have to learn how to look for it.

Pam: you know Philip, you can also take psychology

Philip: well Pam, we can be anything that we want. hehe.:d

Pam: yeah, true.

Philip: we will never run out of art because art is life, art is the encapsulated emotion of the artist, art is the immortalized life. and as I've said, we will never run out of life!

and so the conversation continued..

and it got me thinking that life really is shit sometimes. but what is white without black right?.

i have this theory. that as long as there are bad things, there will always be good things..for how else would we be able to define what is good? or what is bad? one contributes to the others definition, and so, equality exists.

well, its just a theory and uhhm..yeah.

and for the picture. i refuse to agree i have seen the truth..it is complex, i agree.  But it does make sense... it does make sense to me. :d

  1. Wow Flip. Very inspiring post and I have to say definitely a very entertaining blog! The way I see things... God is the ultimate creator. (Take the platypus for instance). It's interesting to me how creating can be somewhat of a spiritual experience.

    Okay so that was totally random... but I just wanted to say thanks for dropping my my blog so I could find yours :)
