Permission to find out shit on your own...

**JeffX99** · November 25th, 2011, 05:42 PM

Hey CA gang...just wanted to say you're all free to figure out what works best for you in this big, crazy art world. The only thing I recommend is you figure out, again for yourself, who and what turns you on...then figure out why...figure out how they do it...where they came from...what they have in common...and how can you best follow in their footsteps.

Carry on...

Funniest thread title evah!

but Jeff...

**s.ketch** · November 25th, 2011, 09:22 PM

Are there any tutorials on how to find out shit for yourself?

**Noah Bradley** · November 25th, 2011, 09:32 PM

So how do I start to get permission?

**OldJake666** · November 25th, 2011, 09:37 PM

Oh gee I'm so glad I have your permission, now I can finally start functioning!

**bcarman** · November 25th, 2011, 09:41 PM

Can you help me decide who I should like?

**Raoul Duke** · November 25th, 2011, 09:48 PM

Can I be a space man?

You mean I should follow the steps of a porn star?

I wonder what inspired this thread.

**krysjez** · November 27th, 2011, 05:08 AM

I have some questions on the kind of shit we're supposed to find out, how big is it supposed to be and how should I approach it, is it better to walk towards it leading with your right foot or your left???

**blogmatix** · November 27th, 2011, 10:41 AM

Seems like everybody is laughing at Jeff. But he makes a perfectly valid point, if I understand him correctly. It is indeed important to spend some time thinking about what you like in art and why you like it, and also to dig around in the history of art.

**Jason Rainville** · November 27th, 2011, 11:21 AM

I'm pretty sure people are laughing at the same thing Jeff is...

The point is that it's obviously good advice and, if you've ever had to deal with students/customer support clients/dA members, you know that almost nobody is going to follow it.

As always, Louis CK sums things up perfectly:

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Leave the dude alone and he'll figure it out."

**Velocity Kendall** · November 27th, 2011, 03:44 PM

fuck i love that guy.

**JeffX99** · November 27th, 2011, 04:10 PM

Yep...lions...I wish!

**Mossi** · November 27th, 2011, 04:36 PM

So..

is it ok by you guys that I think idependently ?

And if so, what are, in your opinion, the best opinions to have ?

**s.ketch** · November 27th, 2011, 04:38 PM

No, really, what paper should I use? I want to use the same paper as real artists.

**Velocity Kendall** · November 27th, 2011, 05:19 PM

**JeffX99** · November 27th, 2011, 05:22 PM

I should probably take a moment just to elaborate on my OP, before confusion sets in. First, I'm not trying to set myself up as the one giving permission (of course)...let's get that straight. I was just using that as a humorous opening to make this point:

Art is an experiential thing. It is in the doing of it that many questions are answered and awareness is gained. Most of it is common sense, trial and error and simply paying attention to what has worked for others in the particular area of your own interest, and trying that out to see how it fits.

That's all...thanks for the fun replies so far! (and thanks blogmatix, but yeah, I think folks are taking it as intended and laughing with, not at...I hope!)

**BlightedArt** · November 27th, 2011, 06:36 PM

Having other people figure it out for me IS MY STYLE

**kev ferrara** · November 27th, 2011, 06:45 PM

Jeff!!

Jeff, jeff, jefff...... neverevereverevever explain the joke.

**JeffX99** · November 27th, 2011, 07:33 PM

LOL...ya know kev...I was afraid you were gonna say that! I seriously thought about NOT elaborating...maybe I should remove it?

**OmenSpirits** · November 27th, 2011, 08:41 PM

"Experimental" is the correct and appropriate way to spell that word Jeffy muh good man. Mustent (how the hell you spell that word anyway) be misunderstood now.

Edit: mustn't, maybe?
