Winter to spring, What is most valuble?

02.24.2009 by Peter J. Crowley // 27 Comments


Winter is reality and summer just a mannequin.


As the temperatures rise [we can only hope] and the dollar falls I ponder what is it that is of value? Friends of course lead my list. But beyond friends as an Artist I look at what other people put value on? Of course there are your tools and materials. But what else is there “Time!” How do others value the time of an Artist? I ponder how an Artist is defined in this new global world? Certainly not as a profession for a profession is defined by “Billable Hours.” Is it technique? Tools? Mega Pixels? Something you do on the side to give back to the community? Or perhaps Community Service after you have stolen the future of the elderly, the poor and the children of the world.
What is the value of time? What defines an artist? Just a couple of light hearted musings on a cold February morning. enjoy pjc

For a few days I couldn’t post an image, frustrating now that i can I have scrapped the planned post having been inspired by Andreas comment in my previous post on human rights.
There is more than the surface in each moment, more than packaging. Distractions was an early topic on this blog, distractions from creativity and seeing beyond the surface. I also don’t understand why people are not demanding their rights they settle for a relationship with their love child Master Card. Debt is the biggest distraction and addiction of the human race. So I write to much and take images that are not about the latest greatest upgraded gadget. This makes me…

I’m Obsolete

I’m obsolete
In a sound bite world
I don’t care to compete
Where shallow is deep
I’m obsolete
To think beyond the surface a freak
It’s fantastic
Made of plastic
Bound with elastic
It’s neat
Sweet
I’m obsolete!

Seeing

I am a voyeur
Hiding in plain sight
An artist
A transient
Looking for Delight
I am a visitor
From another time
Just passing back through
Without reason or Rhyme
