Just wanted to comment on this particular read. Each time, your writing gives off a deeper message ever relevant to life regardless of what we are doing or where we are in our journey. You always touch upon such valid points to remember—to enjoy the process and not so much the end goal, to present our authenticity at all times with passion. Your articles move mountains. Your sketches always bring cheer. Thank you. Can’t wait to listen to your convo with Shari. Oh, btw—love the new logo. It’s so…Nishant Jain!!!
I’ve known both you for about 4yrs and Shari for about 6 yrs, mostly digitally and a little bit in person via contacts through USk Chicago.
This discussion of authenticity vs originality and about living an artist’s life being more like gardening than build a piece of architecture is SO on point.
Both make good models/analogies for an artist to use in different moments and different portions of our lives. The discussion reminds me of a book I read about 20 years ago … written by a Buddhist who suggested that we should aspire to living life without a plan.
I remember thinking “NO!” … and internally thinking it was brilliant. Upon reflection, I’d have to say that the improvisational planning of a gardner is much closer to my life as an artist-educator and especially as an artist.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the discussion, John. You are absolutely correct that both models are applicable to different phases of our lives. I am now curious to know people who lean more on the architect side.
Hi Nishant, I enjoyed this message so much, I hope you you don't mind, but I used some of the message in our Monday Art Note ArterNet Art - News Bulletin and linked it back to your SneakyArt page.
Authenticity and congratulating other artists on their wins, has been a recurring theme of ours, so it was very relevant to our message.
Great quotes and messages. We talk a lot about being ourselves but never think who we are is good enough! But when you dig into the individual you are, there’s always people who see you and appreciate what you’re doing.

Thank you Celeste! I try to do my best every week, and I'm glad you resonate with my work so much. 😊

The logo is so you. Well done
Absolutely. I'm happy to reach more people with these ideas. Thank you for linking back to me! :)
Great, I'll go ahead and send it out. Cheers to you Nishant:))
The new logo truly represents you
Glad to hear that!
Love the new logo. It's very you.
Wonderful to hear that!

💯!
Well hit me in the chest with a ton of bricks. Lovely analogies and some powerful quotes to reinforce the idea you have to love the process.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
That would be fun to read too!
