Here we are in 2011 - a great time to be alive, right? I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled into being an "artist". I guess I am capable of doing many other things. But by the good graces of some higher power, I get to make art for a living.
What seems more real to me then making art, is how it connects with others. And though I sometimes struggle with whether my art has a coherent message, one thing I know is certain. The art sends out positive vibes. People may think my art is cool - and heck, I may think it is too. But the art is nothing without the peoples interaction. So, in spirit, we are all apart of the art. It really belongs to all of us. I think that is the message.
I know I am fairly new to this blogging stuff, and haven't built up a huge following yet, but for you who are following me, please let me know what you think. And thanks for following me.
Michael, love your work and blog. It's incredibly interesting to have some insight into your motivation for your pieces. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCool. Thanks. It's sometimes hard for me to create the art and also maintain a communicative presence to the public. But it is always great to hear what others think.
ReplyDeleteLove your artwork! It is very distinct of "you"! YOU are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI find your artwork inspiring. Several years ago I said to my girlfriend, "You know I love to draw buildings, but not really people. I guess I have no future, frowny face" And she said, "Hey Bucko have you seen how Michael Birawer makes a living?" Bam Inspiration!
