AN ARTIST IS WHAT AN ARTIST DOES


Soundtrack: Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap


Do you have an artist friend? If you don't, I recommend you to find one immediately.


It is quite amazing to have a conversation with an artist. The ones that live, eat and breathe it. 
Go into with a wide open mind and you will discover all kinds of 'ish.


PROFILING


Artists have 2 star signs... The astrological one and the artistic one. Of course, as star signs go, it is not always correct and dead on.
Got Sagittarius friends? Are they fiercely independent and impulsive? 
Like painters; when it comes to talking about their work, there aren't many words. Whereas photographers are quite confident and suave.


Musicians are a whole different breed. Jazz musicians are notorious. Their justified arrogance and the illusion of being unattainable is painfully seductive. 


Actors, dancers, writers, sculptures... many many more 'art' signs.


SACRED SPACE


Aside from conversations, visit their studios or wherever they do their work. These are obviously a very personal realm so ask nicely.
You will be essentially entering their mind, down the rabbit hole.
