Art
As an artist who has not yet found his niche in the world, I hop around on what I want to do. Yes, I want to do animation, but I also want to do comic books. And even there, I'd love to some character design and development for video games. Stretching on from there, movies have storyboarding and costume design which would be pretty cool. Heck, directing seems fun too. And from there I even find myself interested in learning more fine arts and thinking about trying to get my stuff into galleries.
The point is, as an artist you have so many ideas that aren't necessarily constrained to any one medium or format or even storytelling methods. Some stories are told better by film. Some by comic books. Others by just one picture.
Even with this in mind, there are some fields that some artist shouldn't touch. I am personally not the best photographer. Though I consider myself a good judge of photos, and I admire looking at good pictures, I'm just not the type to use the camera as my sole use of expression. Other people, like my girlfriend, excel at this.
I saw a video on the artist Vik Muniz the other day. Really cool guy. What I loved about him was that he was down to earth. He made artwork that was simple, and yet took talent to make. He mixed in deep ideas with simple and sometimes complex drawings. I look up to artist like that. He really was doing some new things with his artwork. It was cool.
Anyway, I'll keep drawing because it's what I like, its what I love, but I want to see what all I can do with it and with my artistic skills. Because anybody with a BFA in Animation shouldn't be working at Walgreens.
