Creativity and Style; Artistry Vs Craft
[22:51] “We’re Trying to Give someone, anyone in the future, something to start with that they can then add their voice to. Because for me the part I’m going to add is that little subtlety, that little shift away from the ideal or just a different mixture.”
— Russ Abbott
I’d like to side-step a little and talk about drawing. It would really seem like this is off topic considering we’ve been focusing on business and mindset, but it has a lot to do with that abundance mindset we talked about earlier. This little bit of discourse that they have makes it a perfect example for how divergent viewpoints can still thrive in the same industry.
Seemingly Russ and Jake disagree here, but they aren’t actually too far off from the same point. What is tattooing? Is it a craft or an artform…both? There really isn’t a right answer as long as you know the fundamentals and you’ve always got the clients best interest in mind.
