I love this video. I have been thinking about the different art worlds a lot lately. I think because I'm between two of them, the underground art world and the 'serious' art world. I find it very difficult to be in only one or the other. The underground art world is great because it feels accepting and easy and fun, like being part of rock and roll. But it also can feel like its not going anywhere. Like it just exists until it doesn't. But then the 'serious' art world is a terrifying and humbling challenge. It feels less natural but important. It's like proving to yourself that you're worth what you hoped you were worth when you were a kid dreaming big.
Yes, i think that thought of yours from when you were a kid is right on the mark. You can also be between two "art worlds" and make up a world that is both and neither as well, you are the one that makes the rules :)
Great video. I've never thought of the "art world" in those terms, but it makes perfect sense. In one short video you've made the art world seem broader and more inclusive - to me. Thank you! 😎👍 Also brings to mind the old expression "you can't see the forest for the trees." Only, in my case, I couldn't see the trees for the forest. BIG , Huge, Massive forest- easy to get lost in that.
Well stated, sir. I made my living producing commercial art for the collectibles industry for over 25 years. I'm proud to say that those works are in literally thousands of collectors homes and I know from things many of them have told me personally that these items bring them great joy. Having done well enough in that field to essentially retire, I am now exploring ideas and themes geared toward a different audience, more higher end collectors of bronze figures and it's an interesting experience, almost like starting over. What I have found interestingly enough is that many of my collectors of lower cost resin figures are also becoming collectors of my bronze work, so at the moment I am sort of navigating both worlds. Kudos to you for seeing and acknowledging art that is not trendy, such as religious pieces, of which I have done several myself.
I’m working on my painting related to serious topics such as social justice like you mentioned, and I totally agree with you that looking for your art world which you belong to
How about art in virtual worlds ? If you join Second Life you can visit hundreds of galleries and art groups that make and show 2d and 3d art that would be impossible to make in the real world I belong to one of these groups United Artists of SL .... we have about 350 artist members and yes there are places in SL where you can sell your digital art

"The art world" is a group mentality idea. They want your art to fit in with everyone else's or fail. You can have your own art world because you're the one who makes the art you want to make.
There's an art world I want very much to be in but people tell me I don't belong there. So now I'm wondering whether I should stick to my guns or listen to what people tell me. Either way this video has given me a lot to think about and I'm very grateful for it ^__^ /

So glad to hear that, I think you have a lot of company for those last two sentences!
So true!
FANTASTIC EXPLANATION .
From what you said before,
it is important to find our tribe
as Artists .
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏
My pleasure
Thank you so much. That was very helpful.
Thanks Brainard 😊 Aloha Friday!
Beautiful!

Thank you for writing, great to hear about your history.
Thank you for the insights and the encouragement.

Very good, the world certainly needs you :)
@@BrainardCareyAWD thank you for your encouragement! I wish this world would be a better place.
great insight thanks
Thank you for sharing.
This is so clear! It seems so obvious now. :) Thanks, Brainard, this is really helpful, and encouraging. 💥
So glad!
Hi Brianard. This is a great video. Do you have a email address for the public so I can follow up with more questions on this topic? Thanks!
any thoughts on N.F.T.'s it's hot and the artist are incredible.
Yes, I made a video about that before this one on this same channel
@@BrainardCareyAWD just saw it... these videos are next level!

I keep telling people football stickers isn't really art
There's an art world I want very much to be in but people tell me I don't belong there. So now I'm wondering whether I should stick to my guns or listen to what people tell me. Either way this video has given me a lot to think about and I'm very grateful for it ^__^ /
Stick to your guns, so to speak, artists have never gotten anywhere by listening to people tell them what to do - you are the visionary, not them :)
@@BrainardCareyAWD Thank you so much Sir, I super needed to hear that ^___^* Thank you ~
