Everyone has a special
talent, a gift that lets him or her shine as an individual. Some people plan
exceptional parties or decorate their home and others can craft a piece of
furniture or design jewelry that puts a smile on someone’s face.
Whether I am basking in
the beauty and skill of historical art pieces in a museum, passing by alley
murals or watching performers along the street, I am constantly reminded that
art can truly be awe-inspiring. However, my path into this world has always been the written word.
I have been enamored and
connected to the literary world for as long as I can remember. Creating something with
little more than your imagination and words is both challenging and rewarding.
As I continue to pour
ideas onto pages while creating The Evenarian, I am reminded of just what a
challenge it is to be creative full-time. While many people indulge in their
creative side as a hobby to unwind from a less-creative work life, I have
taken the plunge to be a full-time artist.
And let me tell you, I
have a newfound respect for people who have devoted their lives to their art
all along.
Through this process I
have become much more generous and supportive of various artists I come across
from buying more books and art to supporting projects I have found on
Kickstarter.
It is easy overlook all
the sweat and tears that go into creating something from the depths of your
imagination. So I just wanted to
remind and encourage everyone out there to support artists that they admire
because not is it a financial commitment to get new art out into the world, but
we do appreciate the feeling of being appreciated by others.
So buy a book, tip a
street performer, share a new artist with a friend or, heck, hug an author.
If you would like to
support my efforts to get my book to print then please “like” my Facebook page, attend the Facebook event preparing for the Kickstarter
campaign, pledge to donate to my
Kickstarter, share the event and page with friends, follow my blog, follow my tweets
or send me an email to theevenarian@gmail.com
