..killing mediocrity..

Wed Mar 31, 2010, 11:23 AM
Today i found quite a interesting interview on youtube. Ira Glass shares some insights in storytelling, and after that some general stuff about art. I found this in the first place while looking for some storytelling and -writing tips for my pen&paper Vampire circle, but it got me some new views on the way i percieve and create any kind of artwork, it´s just amazing.

Especialy interesting was the chapter about the disparity of our taste and our skill, and that it is vital to accept one´s own mediocrity as a step to becoming better. Yet at the same time to not lower one´s standards to meet the level of what we can already create.

Just watch for yourself. Maybe it motivates you, as much as it motivates me:

Hi there,
I’d like to welcome you to the #PortraitClub - glad to have you among our members :)
My name is Lydia, I’m co-administrating the club with =mikegoulty - if you have any questions concerning submissions, the rules or just a general suggestion, don’t hesitate to let us know. You can always reach us on our private account or the club itself.

To get started I suggest to have a look at the club rules – you can find them in our journal/blog section – and maybe keep an eye on the club journal for ongoing contests, mini-competitions, features and news on the club.

Don’t be afraid to have a look around and let us know if you need anything ;)
See you at :iconportraitclub:
Lydia
