Today We Won't Die Of Art

With this journal I would like to motivate those of you who are afraid to express themselves through art.
You are given a gift that you can use without worry because we live in this very modern world that grants us a lot of freedom. And I become upset when I see people being afraid to use this gift because of others:


There were times at which an artist had to fear for his life should he dare to express something "not fitting the society he lived in". And even now a days we still have countries that threaten artists and journalists lives should they speak up too clearly.

Just because everybody does it, does not mean it is right. That is why artists in modern times for example are around to watch and give critic . (Ai Wei Wei is a very good example)

Yet again the fear, that I just wittnessed today again with a dear friend, which is a fear I very much dislike because it is the fear of being bashed for expressing your thoughts can be very terrifying, too.
Especially when in theory, you are not going to do anything that could specifically be considered „wrong".

Do we do art just to let others dictate what we can or can't do?
As a pure show of skill, proving it over and over, again and again?
Or is it a way to express our thoughts and feelings?

I always thought art, unless bought, which makes it a craft, was there to serve the artist, as his „window to the world" to put it in some pretty words. Please pardon me, if I am wrong.

We have a good bunch of wonderful people around here with a big knowlege of art and art history who I think would never put anyone down just for expressing himself. But this is just my thought on it, as I thinkthat everybody should be allowed to epxress his personal art however he wants.

All of you have this phantastic freedom to express anything you want.
A freedom that so many did not have. And that some still don't have.
But you have it, so go and make your art and don't be afraid of being different.

Last but not least, let's see this journal the artistic and modern way: If you do not approve with what I express through this writing or consider it utter nonsense, then you are free to walk away, shall you have nothing constructive to say.
