Creative Responsibility
The Creative Responsibility of the Artist
1) To expose themselves
in an honest and true manner
2) To expose others
to new concepts and experiences
3) To constantly learn & soak & sample
Remixing life as you wade through it is the reason we create!
4) To be able to teach with AND without words
A symbol, a feeling, an energy
