Part of making great art REQUIRES you, at some point, not to care what ANYONE else thinks about what you've made. Doesn't mean you can make junk and shrug off the well-deserved knives thrown at it. Doesn't mean you don't have to work 'til your bones snap to make the finest thing your soul is capable of shaping. It just means that ONCE you've done true soul-craft, don't listen to the naysayers. To that end I liked what Mr. Martin had to say in his little video clip up above. "I don't care."
Jony Ive, chief design master at Apple, said it thus: Being different is art; anyone can do it, because we all have something already there that distinguishes us from everyone else. But being different, wow, that takes time, decades even. Being better is the same as being different, but it's being different with a purpose.
Just so.
And on a completely different note, please stop by my new blog at sleye1stories.com and (should you wish) follow along. I'd be obliged.
Let's BE different.
