Time to Sit Down and Think

Sat Feb 7, 2004, 10:36 AM
Well, I've just been thinking... about my visual works...
What are they? Why they exist? What am I doing?

I fell like my work has got not a strong soul. That it's just a simple image. That it has got nothing to say. Though I make an explanation of it, it's never they way I want. That's why I'm going to unplug myself from DeviantArt for a while and think about this lost visual style I have never got. I never considered myself as an artist, and never a visual one, but this is the way I satisfy my hungry...

I see my works over here... They range from icons to poetry. These are such different things... And I notice people come over because of the super downloaded icons... and I didn't wanted that only... I wish they come to read what I write. That's the most important for me. But I don't fell like stopping making icons or stop making some visual styles, vectors and photography manypulation and experimentation. I like to experiment, but, I need to find myself, so I need to improve it much, much more.

DeviantArt has being the greatest valve of scape.
I get very much happy when I'm over here. I becoming a complete geek :-) That's the thing I must control.
T have met and talked with such great people with great heart and mind. I fell happy about being "close" to them. I don't like much humans. No, no. But, sometimes I notice that there are some great ones left in the world.

I'll try to drop by only the weekends. I am too addicted. And in the other days, I think about these thoughts.

Though I say that the words are those I like more, I fell a little shy of showing them.
They're just too personal.


"I wake in the middle of the night
thinking the morning had already came

I sleep in the plenitude of the afternoon
because I am already tyred of the day

I sleep and I forget the doors open and the lights on
I close the eyes when it is bright and open them when there is darkness

I see I'm blind, I fell I'm weak
I fell I'm tired, I see the dark

I don't feed myself of food
This is not the hungry I feel

Feed me with your love
And I show you who I am

heremit soldier, owner of savage instincts
urban lover, trying to find the way back to the forest"


See you saturday ;-)

I know what you're going through. Those periods of self-criticism are necessary. I always have them. I really doubt the skills of those that don't ask that kind of questions to themselves. They simply stagnate. No evolution is possible then. And we can get better and better until the day we die. I never felt confident about my work and I'm sure I will never be.
Just try to think about it in terms of creativity. You're one of the most creative persons I have met on DA. Just look at the variety of your work. Also, as a designer, I must say that you're very talented. Why? Because your work looks very professional: is simple, clean and very, very effective in terms of comunication. You can't deny it. ;) That is the "strong soul of your work".
I dare you to not feel influenciated or sad because of people who come here just for the downloads. Well, it's because they like them (me included). On the other hand, we know that DA needs to "raise the standards". To some people they are really low. They have a long way ahead. We all start there, I suppose.
And now, I've just found out that you write excellent poetry. So, you can do anything, can't you?
Well, spending less time on DA is something I must do too, exactly for the same reasons you pointed out.
We will meet here on weekends. ;)
Um grande abraço.

Olá Paula!
It's Saturday!

It's very good for me to know you like the things I make. It really is.
When you put me in your devwatch, I though "Why is she adding me?! She's so much better!"
It's very rare for me to enjoy the thinks I make, but, I think it's good because I always try to make things better next time I make them.
I guess I'm more creative only when I want. I fails sometimes when I need to be... That's why I don't want to work for no-one. I have already quit so many companies... But i'm already, almost, by myself.

I'm always in doubt about the usability of them. Nice from you to say that they're professional and effective. I always gave a low rate to all of my works, but it's only because I see I can do better.

And, yeah... this community is dangerous...
I don't use drugs, but, I'm a deviant subscriber. What's the diference?!

Well, that's it. I cand load you ;-)
Thank you very very much for your excellent words. I'll consider them. Definitely.

Um grande abraço para você também :hug:
Até mais.
