published with original art"/><title type='text'>Using Ai created Art and Writings is equal to Hiring Ghost writers and Illustrators to write your book.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Artists have been used as tools to further agendas for generations. Artists themselves have been party time and time again to be work-horses and act only like tools to accept regular wages. So why is it a surprise when on a day like today it has come to be where apps and automated tools have been made off their backs out of jobs they were paid for to do up until now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ghost writers and artists have happily done work by commodifying their talents and labored like robots, setting their rates conveniently for as low as $5 instead of $500. But now, why is there such hue and cry for help when these very people have fueled the fire for all these past 20 years of globalization. I hear that some artists today who were part of such artists farms, admit they are lucky if they are even getting paid at all. AI has taken their jobs is what I understand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where were they three decades ago?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a good 30 years, at least my experience says that trying to coexist and work with an art community as an artist to uplift the community along with myself wherever I lived and worked at, has never improved anything because I was too weak as a lone artist facing a tendency to be struck down. The reason was that every artist wanted a competitive edge over the other artist. But what artists failed to see is that they needed to work with each other than against each others interests and see how we could compliment each other. Somehow, artists wanted immediate gratification and loved being an egotist to start with and fell for immediate cash. I wish artists had an entrepreneurial mindset who could plan ahead 5 or 10 years, but instead they were great at paving the way to do work for pittance to get them a means to live day to day. And hence became important actors for the vices of capitalism to play out so seamlessly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thankfully this indifference at every turn reminded me to look inside of myself to find the missing answers as to how to sustain without external help. So technology played a huge role even as early as 1987.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This attitude was the same across all disciplines in art, be it animation art, video design, fine art, etc. The&amp;nbsp; contemporary art world also kept it as contemporary as can be with some walking around with a stiff upper lip if you know what I mean. ;o) There has been segregation at every level between desks, departments, sectors and industries within the art world. In the contemporary art world it is the privileged who get an unfair advantage as it is well-known today and these elite guard whatever they have like gold against the actual talented artists who are blocked from access to the real deal. So in such an unjust world why work hard where biases are openly and extravagantly authenticated. So I have not even cared to play that game. This is a very early lesson I learnt from an artist who&#39;s studio I went to hang out at in the early 1990s. Because I was still a student I never was expected to pay to use his studio while the artist wanted to gather some young students around him to feel like a teacher. Today I can interpret it that way after decades later this artist likes to deny remembering his formative years when these young students made the fabric of his growth possible and his success if any today. Why do artists guard their art as if it was such a treasure. In such a divided world it is no wonder there is no living rich naturally talented artist of course with the exception of artists like Picasso. He too lived a privileged life like a few who are mentioned and who&#39;s works are auctioned off with pride today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Artists the past decade happily went on youtube and did their own tutorials to teach. So everything is out there for the taking. Artists did everything there is possible for their consumers just for those few seconds of fame or to hold a trophy to win an award or be paid royalties by online hosting platforms. The saga goes on isn&#39;t it today. Some fellow artists in my position will agree.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My latest was a strike down by a self-proclaimed artist with such arrogance. No doubt during the initial couple of years were lonely with bad behavior from fellow artists and bosses but the rest of the solid 28 years were simply a rich experience because the personal learning and accomplishments surpassed cruel co-workers and attitude from a community that normally should care. The enjoyment was every single day so to say life has made one in such circumstances only stronger and better with every encounter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then there are some artists who are very happy to stay complacent or play along with bad bosses who wanted to divide and manage (divide and rule) to their own advantage, when their personalities were just a story of self-erosion while good artists move on with their spirits only elevated with new opportunities as they have an opportunity to define themselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such cut-throat competition I can only see that it has not gotten them anywhere because in the end their art has been consumed and regurgitated elsewhere several times down the supply chain that they won&#39;t even be able to recognize it leave alone that they no more hold any rights to it. Just as it is so difficult to claim ownership of the art Ai has scraped off the internet all artists works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am so glad when I started posting online nearly 2 decades ago, I remembered that I have to post only stuff I did not care to lose. My intent was only to showcase, so much so that when Facebook all of a sudden notified perhaps by 2011 that they own what we post on their platform that I was not surprised nor angry. And today it is proof our posts on their platform was data they or all these Ai enablers used to train.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The attitude of &quot;self-fulness&quot; Excuse me I just made that word up....artists instead of exercising conscious selflessness, I found the same experience even when I outsourced time to time, some of my extra artistic requirement, there was a complete lack of commitment to timing, promise or respect for the payment I made to humans I outsourced to and more importantly there was lack of transparency and sadly sometimes even deceptive behaviour with dis-gratitude.. This left me in a dilemma and mistrust of such a system and so I held back any plans to scale up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this did not stop me from giving opportunities to people who wanted to get my help for pittance. I rather did it for close to free to test their authenticity. But in time, I figured that in doing rando work for rando people was also not a good way to spend a meaningful life as an artist who had a choice. I invested in my risks I took and this really started the year 2006 and what I found out step by step spending dollars to enrich myself. I rather spend it on my learning and for charity to the needy than feed the fat pockets of the undeserving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the past 11 years of working by myself as a Solopreneur being my own peon too, and investing in knowledge and technology and research, the coming of age of AI could not have come at a better time when I needed so much of automation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am so ready after already 3 years into my journey as my own content producer, authorpreneur and publisher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel on top of the world because as an artpreneur there is so much I look forward to I can&#39;t wait to get started in this new AI era.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My books published today was non-AI generated.

That too, as we all know with each search, our very dear ideas get instantly owned by the platform. We become part of their research for them to try and replace as much as what we behave based on our discretion. It is like a vacuum-cleaner soaking up we users information 24-7. Is that cool?

The very developers who I dreaded writing codes to replace we artists! I would ask these developers, what will happen to you? If you give up the privilege!? Over the years since the 80s, as luck would have it for me I had opportunities to be a full-time entrepreneur, a full-time developer. But as an artist I could see from both sides to judge and use fair-play from all sides. So those developers and techies who want to live in the world of automation. This is my big question. :o)) Will AI replace these developers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I believe faceless services can certainly be replaced.

He pulled out the example of the “Starry Night” a rendition of the 19th century Dutch Painter “Vincent Van Gogh*&quot; Tyson being his ardent fan.

High-end and Mid-level providers usually offer the same quality and are usually equally experienced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;High-end designers are given high budget to deliver high quality work at the quickest time with 3 options at least at a time the client requests for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.) Mid-level providers: if they lower the rates that means they accommodate small entrepreneurs to get good quality work.But at a longer time duration, and with extreme etiquette and protocol to follow through and interact with each other with personal attention. So, In return they expect accommodative, low pressure and ethical behavior for the favor these high-end design houses provide you the client.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.) Low-end designers are the least reliable because their over-heads are very small to none and it is ok for the small entrepreneur to be over-vigilant, working with this category of designers who may have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Come up the ranks without education,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Without proper experience and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Without exposure and work ethics and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And may also not be reliable and not well-rounded because their only purpose is delivering design like a commodity and object or cheap mass produced item.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When an item is delivered, mass-produced just as there are many manufacturing defects because of no personalized production methods, we get cheap stuff from cheap companies who may not even be having a recognized license. For example, either a visiting designer who does not have a license to work in the UAE or who works online-meaning they do not have any license except a free registration on the various marketplaces for instance, not costing them anything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This crop of designers cannot be compared to the real life Designers offering personalized service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most/all professional real branding designers ask for a 50% advance. Whereas online marketplaces becoming popular because of the low price factor, do not require the client to pay a 50% advance to go to the designer, instead they have an Esgrow account. The designers here are quite unsure of how the job online may turn out and sadly work with some suspicion of the situation whether this amount in the Esgrow account will come to them or not (work with real questions whether the client may cancel midway, what if they do then they go through the hassle of filing a dispute which in case may result in them getting the advance or not. In most-likely situations the designer does not get the money that was locked up in an Esgrow account while they started work. So there is always a designer working with suspicion of this system. In some cases we find the freelancer has disappeared with a no-show on a delivery date. I have experienced this sitting in both sides as a designer and a client. And so the client also has a good reason to stay / work with a certain amount of suspicion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sadly many times, jobs here turn out shaudy because designers are cutting down quality, support because they can&#39;t afford to offer perfect service when they are not paid commensurate to the job. Working online or getting to know someone online (basically with a faceless account) has it’s big drawbacks. Although in rare cases, if managed well or out of sheer luck, good jobs have come to be. Such design-services and real life designers cannot be gauged side-by-side with online providers under the same umbrella of expertise and know-how and work ethics. There is always value in a one-to-one personal interaction and High-end and Mid-range providers have to be recognized accordingly and treated as such, above cheap and bad work for the passion and care they offer among good design delivery and proven real-life records.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Benefits:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;The protocol is have a contract (through direct payment) between you and the artist.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Choosing (1) or (2) is a sure way for a unique design, personalized.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After the payment 50% advance you set the time for the first draft.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Provide all the supporting material. Exhaustive info to help the design team to come up with a design proposal for the logo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The artist may give 2 or 3 options or just one based on your agreement and the value of the project.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Look at the explanation on the supporting research material.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Problems may arise if:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are not convinced by the design this is your opportunity to make changes based on what is provided to you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you find it is completely off-track. List down specific points why and check if you have given enough reference to the creative team to help them with the research into your expertise and field.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have failed to already give it, then it is your call to make amends and provide more information at your expense because if you did not get what you looked for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;or don’t know what you are looking for, chances are that the designers will not be able to provide you an agreeable logo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What you can do to resolve any issue:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;And they just can’t keep churning out designs after designs with no clue. That is wasting either party’s time. Because the artists are designers and if you have asked and settled with the lowest value affordable to you, the artists will be there only to design for you and you have to be providing them with all research material in your field of expertise.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remember that the artist is not an expert in your field and they don’t have the ability to research beyond being the color and compositing masters to create that unique logo for you with the knowledge you provide them about the business and market.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you need their expanded expertise, you will have to keep in mind that you should be able to extend a larger budget for the creative team to bring in branding and communication consultants beyond pure design.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/5276389569567570498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/2023/01/how-to-get-professional-logo-designer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5217181103710191916/posts/default/5276389569567570498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5217181103710191916/posts/default/5276389569567570498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/2023/01/how-to-get-professional-logo-designer.html' title='How to get a professional logo designer - work on your much-needed company logo'/><author><name>Rembrandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06760873612099515684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZ3siY6mWgLdStXqQLXPDiKCg6PDTaikvKU6UONKs0_EqlryTbSmLVnJ65Xv4mIcRBPn5By1WF4JxN-U9SwA8-3DNKklc0IWe1aGDqZ67JzNFIN5KhM9jjLNgRyL3DS1TSYr8RglaWuU2C0-IfFQ9qeSDy0DHWbOvmCYhxW6VjyjX_eP44qCODvLz/s72-w259-h134-c/arrow.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217181103710191916.post-5519145821319147330</id><published>2023-01-02T23:58:00.001+04:00</published><updated>2023-01-02T23:58:04.439+04:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy 2023</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe width=&quot;480&quot;

font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;In 2012 when I started out as an entrepreneur, solo I looked at my art and animation career that ended in me being my own boss. That’s a good thing But that landed me in other essential stuff really bossing over me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;When I saw that my artistic career was having to compete with the growth in technology and Artificial Intelligence, I had to enhance myself as being a creative consultant. Meaning I constantly had to be in the creative-mode, creatively thinking outside the box. Since then I have lost count, the number times I have had to think out of the boxes or gauge the size of the boxes. I have had to think outside the box 24-7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;I thought I am done explaining my thought-process that went into my techniques that make up my art when I saw technology is making those techniques automatically available. Or is it!? I am seriously and pleasantly contemplating today. And so I am back with my new and restructured purpose. A meaning like every other human being can happily live by.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;Original human talent if one has to offer without a dependence on technology or devices such as the iphone or ipad or the likes or even to use them, it all depends on hour we wire our human brain to make it better for everyone and yourself to experience.

However, I would advice just have an alternative line of activity for you to make a living out of too because an art, animation career is all about ups and downs even if you work for someone it is dependent upon a third layer of a luxury item.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;If promotion of your services is a necessity (the first level), advertising is only a want (the second level) and art and animation (is only the third level) and in tough economic times lets face it, even for me as a creator it is a luxury :o/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;But these 7 points could brighten up the dark scene that we think impends us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol class=&quot;ol1&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;The other day I noticed my friends whatsapp profile page, looked great at first glance, when I looked at it closer I saw that it was a sketch but realized my friend looked 10 years older than she actually was in that sketch. After a momentary shock I sighed in relief because I realized wow technology managed to mess up her looks. So don’t tell me technology can replace the artist’s talent? Technology can replace an engine designer/someone who has no money to replace a car engine if it conks. Technology with a lot of money could do that. But a real talent still has work to do baby and still&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;is needed with pay.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;I have been contacted in the middle of the night at times to make weird paintings sometimes. Unless its not an obscene portrayal or breaking the laws I do it for them gladly. There was this request several years ago from a person who lost love and wanted to win it back. He and his now crush only had a silent relationship on Facebook where they only communicated through pictures for whatever cultural limitations they had between them. He wanted me to make him a few series of paintings and this whole plan was so emotionally attached to him that after he met me, he trusted my art enough (that I had not yet created for him) He paid his dollars upfront across the table.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;There was an SOS type call one evening one among many i can list below. He was a salesman who was entrusted by his boss to get his daughter’s portrait painted as a surprise gift for her birthday. He was so desperate for his promotion he said he depended on this portrait and he gladly transferred me a 100% advance.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;Talking about SOS calls here is another one she wanted to impress her Ex fiancé who blocked her off even on whatsapp and wanted to win him back by doing a portrait and gifting him. She was so broken when she contacted me I did not feel like charging her anything. But she insisted as it was a personal cause for her she wanted to pay for the gift that she believed would make things fall in place for her.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;Then there was a request from someone to do an oil painting in a hurry of a beautiful lady his wife. I had to hand over even before it dried. He was in that of a mighty hurry. After that I had 3 requests from him. He seemed to be wanting to impress one girl friend after another with gifting them with portraits to impress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;I made a spiritual painting for my maternal uncle on one of my summer vacations to that tropical Island. The next year when I visited them, my painting was blessed by their priest and was carefully given a place next to a miraculous deity’s statue that the village folk came to worship or seek blessings before an important event they considered more auspicious if they prayed in that tiny prayer room. And I was pleasantly surprised that my painting was given a place in that room where 1000s worshipped by praying to the deity on my painting as well.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot; style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;I can go on with a lot of instances where artists are needed just that we need to be visible always to be wanted by our targets and fans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Thank you and stay safe and stay skillful! :o)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/1788390937786481253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/2021/02/7-reasons-why-artist-will-stay-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5217181103710191916/posts/default/1788390937786481253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5217181103710191916/posts/default/1788390937786481253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rembrandz.blogspot.com/2021/02/7-reasons-why-artist-will-stay-in.html' title='7 reasons why an Artist will still stay in Business in 2021'/><author><name>Rembrandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06760873612099515684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217181103710191916.post-8394587727925622266</id><published>2018-09-21T23:33:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2018-09-21T23:40:28.627+04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dog"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Golden Retriever"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Graphite Portrait"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Pet Drawing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Pet Portrait"/><title type='text'>Graphite Sketch of a Golden Retriever&#39;s portrait </title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
A few months back I started with a quick sketch of my former pet Golden Retriever and pleased to upload it here to keep as my memory booster and to share with all of you how I do Pet Portraits using pencils. This is extra special that I am going to make it into a hyper-realistic portrait of Gypsy to circulate among my family and friends who enjoyed her company those days. She was a friendly one always busy playing her own pranks but yet ready enough to guard our household as soon as night falls to steal a wink only at daybreak.&lt;br /&gt;

It is going at a snail pace because I am interested in having it done on my own free time. Because if it was to be released sooner I would have had to make a serious investment into it by putting aside my mainstream #creative jobs.

It was 1994, the year when all my trials and tribulations while choosing a career path came to rest and my journey into the arts began fully unravelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
I was a computer science tutor at my family owned training centre from the late 80s when I started dabbling with PCs and teaching programs such as BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, and applications such as WordStar, WORDPERFECT etc. Although we have come a long way since then, the grounding I acquired from teaching these programs and meandering around limitations in that kind of computer life would make my career life more meaningful and easy to manoeuvre&amp;nbsp;more than a decade from then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I land this interview at an animation studio that just gets recognized for a few top commercials in my country. And voila like magic I get accepted into a job I least expected. As an animator! I was overjoyed because I was that ardent fan of Disney animation. Struggling to get any and every information I could gather about Disney even during those days when there was no internet. I remember during my sophomore years as a Math student to get ready to be job-worthy, my independent mind had another alternative route to a job-worthy field I was trying unofficially by not spending my parents&#39; money to reach this passion. Because from where I come from, our societies have a tradition where the parent funds for the child&#39;s education from the first grade to university unlike the USA or Europe where the child is left to fend for itself after school through student loans or a job to fund their own education. Such societies as mine hence have their children come back to their home nests to return the&amp;nbsp;favor&amp;nbsp;back to their parents to take care of them in thick or thin. There is a good side and challenging side to this just as there is a challenging&amp;nbsp;side to the way western societies too have a positive and negative side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this said, let me get back to 1994 when I took up my role as a young animator and dashed away to a progressive, commercial capital in my country. In this city, much like New York&amp;nbsp;city, I get to learn my trade better working night and day. Today, 24 years later as times have changed with everyone having access to technologies I still have no regrets about how far it has taken me and how it has led me to be part of other evolving transitional cities and to have an opportunity to see the world&#39;s people. Now it is time to transport my learnings to the roots so that this global way of life makes more meaning for many of us.&lt;/div&gt;
