Its a single moment when a thousand voices start up in a powerful chorus and youre just drowned in them. You cant keep em straight, you cant try and control it you simply let it pick you up and carry you away.
And for a moment you think youre crazy. Youre almost CERTAIN that youre crazy.
But you know better.
This is what it means to be an artist.
This is what it means to breathe life into nothingness and paint on an invisible canvas.
This is what it is to CREATE. For a moment to simply feel like a God.
And its exactly what it means to be so humbled by that fact to know what it is to be a creator.
To believe in something so much with all of your heart and soul that you simply cant contain it in yourself anymore. You have no CHOICE but to express it. The medium doesnt matter. The end result doesnt matter. Nothing matters but the EXPRESSION.
This is what it means to be an artist.
This is what it means to harness a force never mentioned but that has been a driving force of mankind for longer then they remember.
This is what it means to be INSPIRED.
This is what it means to be driven by something more then yourself.
To be both the creator and the believer all at once.
To be great and to be humble all at once.
To be yourself, and yet something so much MORE all at once.
This is what it means to be an artist.

Before anyone says anything, i want you to think about that. and to think about when you make something. think about when you simply HAVE to make something. When it can't wait another day, hour, minute, second....
There is a magic in art.
It's important to know and respect that.

We've only found a few people from ILIS on deviantART so far, so it's interesting to talk to someone here since we're shy in person. >__>;;
