We’re really off schedule and down to the last three pages of our next release. Waiting for any type of commission is normally exciting and full of hope, however art is tricky. Deadlines, lack of inspiration/ direction, work load, personal affairs, natural disasters, political unrest, and a slew of other hindrances can all help part an artist from their focus leaving the commissioner in a precarious and tough position. There’s a microscopic line between friend and boss at VISIONSFOUND but at the end of the day is it wise or even possible to rush an artist or demand over due work? If you do and they deliver will the product be compromised?
Art is a sacred process between a human and any given medium. The act of giving someone money to create a personal, individual vision is rather perplexing and an incredible privilege. We put contracts in place to work towards a common goal, anything outside of that is outside of our hands.
Patience and taking care of whats around you in the present moment will always win the day, otherwise you may, “find yourself dancing on the end of a string without any music.”
