Don’t worry I kinda know what I’m
doing.
I’m pretty sure that if I fail at
this I am qualified to fall-back to a high paying job as an adman.
I think I am even being better
qualified as I am doing this.
This is kinda risky but is etremely
educational as well.
To fall as an adman
I’m a major in advertising graduate.
But I do like what I’m doing right now trying to learn how can I make a good
living solely through art sales. Trying to understand how I use contemporary
art as a medium to transmit messages and all that other jazz.
This sharpens my mind. Just like
doing 20 thumbnail sketches for Nady. That then will be narrowed down to
colorful 3 or sometimes 4 comprehensive studies. Then down to 1 colorfully illustrated
advertisement on a Bainbridge cold-pressed board.
Yah I know that’s kinda old school
but that 20 sketches really brings out the creative juices from the deep
reservoirs of my mind or if nothing is coming out my seatmate’s ideas will do J
Contemporary
You know what apart from being weird
and hard to get. Advertising practitioners are kinda in the same line in terms
of how some artists/boguses boguses art buyers into buying their bogus art.
Yeah a lot of bogus. That’s why
boguses.
Like that vanity photography gallery
somewhere there in Makati that I’m quite sure will only exhibit those low-life
desperate artist/photographers so long as they have enough money to print on
those expensive bogus squirted ink prints.
Yay enough of that.
I think advertising can really learn
from some of the finest contemporary artists of today.
Like on terms of engaging the public
in a really engaging and meaningful way. Through participative public
installations.
Or really getting to know customers
well through the practice I am much intrigued of and very eager to try out once
I get a more solid grasp of it. Social Practice.
Then there also those not so
contemporary works that are just really powerful in delivering the message.
Also I think advertising practitioners
can learn from “Real Artists” how to stand up and let go of clients who
arrogantly think they know better or insists on making “garbagetisements”.
Risk risk risk
Well I dare say that there is really
nothing safe and secure. There are only things that are delusionally perceived
as safe and secure.
Nah. I don’t believe happy ever
after does exists Adam. Nor does that high pitched singing of yours.
But I do believe that from moment to
moment we can choose to be more creative in finding appreciable things that can
make us happier.
Yeah guess trying all of this is
quite risky. I could as well die our of a bleeding head trying to understand
that write-up the curator made.
But I’m still young, still strong
and kicking and I am quite sure that I will #!%@ regret it if I see myself as
an old man that played it too safe to risk being ambitious enough to try out
the things that got his blood pumping, his brains tingling, his hairs raising
and his lips grinning.
So there
No need to worry I kinda got myself
covered.
And if I do come out victorious at
this I’ll let you know and teach you a trick or two if you want.
But if you did succeed at your
endeavor Congrats to you! And please do find the time and the warm place in you
heart to help me out.
I’m sure be glad to hear some
unsolicited lengthen advice from you.
