And then it is fine art. That is to say: as often happens with fine art, it is used as a book cover or whatever after it is created. Likewise, for me great illustration often outlives, outshines whatever it's original "purpose" is (not to mention the vast majority of fine art)and so our distinctions between fine art and illustration can be perforated and you end up admiring it because it can stand on its own. So, although I will probably die a hopeless, penniless romantic, I love this speech. I think it is true and there is no need for illustrators to stop at the aspiration of getting paid to adorn stories. Let the writers get paid to adorn your images with stories, let Hollywood get paid to adorn your images with those watered-down movey picture things(Heinrich Kley,mobius). They don't threaten the power of the static image. Only the ability of the static image creators to feed themselves and their families. Perhaps physical survival is overrated. A logo is not improved, but degraded by animation. I take up John's cry for the ascendancy of the image and the image makers, those cultural creative giants, contemporary style and aesthetics just eddy's in their wake! Why not these imaginaries be the God's of the future! This image drenched culture is ripe for some leadership. We don't have to look far for great role model's, the great artists all of them. Artists of the world unite and, you know, just keep on doin your own thing! It may be easy to copy style and so the imaginaries(Van Gogh etc.) don't get the credit but really the reward is in the act itself. If you can yield it's power for wealth, more power to ya, but the real alchemy is in the creative process itself.Josshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396610569402016319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38914624.post-29499608679405723272013-03-03T01:33:10.264-08:002013-03-03T01:33:10.264-08:00Theory of me,

You could probably devote a whole article to that alone. Today's culture has no room for it in this, "ROI" mindset. (Return On Investment)- or in other words, deliver or else. And we wonder why we get burned out or stagnant.
