Even doctor's and lawyers are artists when you think about it. Doctors are craftsman in surgery, and have to think outside the box all the time to come up with a diagnosis (as much as they would like to brainwash us with the follow-the-recipe diagnosis). Lawyers are actors, in a sense, by having to get up in front of a judge and jury and plead a case. They need to be on their toes in case the opposing side throws a wrench in the works. Life just doesn't exist without art!

There is an evolutionary need.....to make marks. To see beauty and patterns and relate emotion with other things. It's our nature. We are all artists. It's a damn shame so few realize it, or the true beauty gets so washed away by corporate bullshit. Art is what separates us from the animals.

You are the shit, Ben. This is one of your best entries yet. Stop being so busy having a life and make more, dammit!!!! lol.
