On art,memories and reality

Wed Jul 28, 2004, 8:43 PM
You know it's funny - I always have so many things floating through my head all at once it's a wonder that I pay any attention to the real world at all. What does it all mean? What is it here for? Why does it all matter to one insignificantly small individual such as myself? Where do I fit in in the grand scheme of things? In truth time steps forward and every day only serves to become memory the next. Everything becomes but memories - abstract words, portraits and paintings that don't truly exist. That being said how are memories any different than dreams? As each day passes into memory the moments become no more real or fake than dreams themselves. In our lifetime we decide how to assemble the pieces - how we construct the memory. In sleep we also decide how the puzzle goes.
That being said art and music must be the most true things in existence. They are constructed from dreams, from concepts and from memory, and their purpose is to take one person's memory and turn it into another's. This leads me to believe that our sole purpose on this planet is to construct one another's memories and dreams. Nothing that we encounter day to day lasts forever but the afterthought of them - the reactions, the pleasures, the sadnesses and the pains we get from one another and our art carries on into eternity.
On a related note the definition of a drawing is a construct of lines to create form in flat space. We are all drawings in a way, creating concepts for one another to share and behold, and ultimately molded by hands beyond our control. But the purpose remains the same: to be something to someone so one day, the memory remains.

Hello fellow dragon artist!

I decided it was about time to let everyone on the new Dragon Artists List know they are on there.

Its not a club and doesn't require you to do anything, its just an A-Z listing of deviantART members who create dragons. If you wish to be removed, just let me know and I'll take you off. If you have friends who want to be added, tell them to send me a comment or note :)

You don't have to be good at drawing to be good at drawing.

If we are not to speak of those whom we do not speak of, them should we be speaking of those whom we speak not of... -taylynne sama
:iconthedancingemu:
you've been added to the new dragon artists list :)

if you know anyone you think should be added or would like to be taken off the list please contact me at the journal : Dragon Artists

if you're wondering why there's a new list, the old one kind of died, the new list may be permanent or temporary, depending on whether ~Straga comes back.

if she does update the original i will post a link to it in the new one, so people will still be able to find it

please don't watch me for list updates, they will all be minor and will stay at the back of my journal list, no one's devwatch will show anything.

The train of thought takes many twists and turns, and may sometimes come off the track entirely.
