NAVIGATNG THE PERILOUS COURSE

When setting sail upon the ocean of art one needs to command a Full Armada. From a certain standpoint we are the ship builders in our own journey. We can outfit and rig our vessel for a great voyage of laden discovery. The thrill of the maritime expedition is the true calling, the high seas is where the creativity happens. Sometimes it will be choppy, inclement and a super soaker, though that's the nature of things. With proper knowledge, charts, lucky stars we get through the harder times. We can't always see the destination over the cresting waves, though we can be assured they shall subside. For staying true through a seemingly perilous course we eventually reach the distant shores. Success may be as elusive as finding buried treasure without a map, have no fear buccaneers! We are the map makers, cartographers, visionaries that can create the perfect "X' to mark the spot. Making art is our bounty, booty greater than the contents of Poor Davey Jones Locker. From crows nest to keel you should know your craft, become the master of your galleon. Detractors should be made to walk the plank, stand not for a whisper of mutiny. Create with the ferocity resounding cannon balls, pure passion is the blood & guts. Without great determination you'll just be another landlubber with a dime store eye patch. The great thing is the choice of style is all your own, there certainly is more than one Jolly Rodger. If you choose to fly them bones just remember don't surrender without a fight...Tally Ho!

With bounteous cheer,
Gothic Hangman
