Faily digital art 01:
Hello all,
Yesterday I made a typo, I wrote 'faily digital art' instead of 'daily digital art'. I fell in love with the typo after correcting it.
So today I present to you my best and greatest failure I ever made in purpose.
I make the conscious choice to fail for multiple reasons. The biggest one is to help myself remember failing is learning. The best way to come to a stand still in your own development is not allowing yourself to experiment and fail.
Another big one has to do with a unconscious wish to control my life. If we are in control of everything there is no room for a delightful surprise.
There are more reasons and I think I will write about them at another time. For now actively failing has helped to unlock my muscles. It was funny and awkward and I almost chickened out sharing it today.
Do you have a wish to 'control' that has the potential to grow beyond 'control'?
Doesn't look like a failure to me! It actually looks pretty damn cool. On another note, I love your term "faily". I think failure is an important part of anything. Especially in things such as art, when it's concretely documented.
Looking forward to more!
You're back!!! Nice to see you again :).
Thank you, I learned my students that what is failure to you can be wonderful to somebody else. This helps a lot with feeling pressure to impress.
Probably a lot more will come ;) some will be actively on purpose and some will be obvious for everybody else but me.
My favorite thing about my own personal failures is I can kind of look at them and laugh at them. I think, subconsciously, it's because I can kind of hold them in comparison to my successes and be even prouder of them.
I am definitely glad to be back! I think I went a little stir-crazy from staring at the computer too much. It happens to me from time to time :)
Thats a great way to look at it. I didn't have that conclusion yet but it is very true.
I know the feeling of to much screentime. It is better to stay away sometimes and take the freedom to start when you feel like it.
I have send you a message on discord. If information is gift, I think I gave you a good one.
My girlfriend's computer died recently as well so when I am using the computer, I feel somewhat selfish to be on Steemit because it's not always a group activity. My computer's somewhat on the fritz as well and can only open Discord in a certain browser, which is struggling right now. I'm in the process of transferring a lot of my data onto an external hard drive in hopes my computer will work better afterwards. Once that is done, I'll go on Discord and check out your message. Looking forward to it :)
I hope she will have a new one soon. It is way more important to be together then to be on a computer, you are right about it not being a group activity. Take your time and tell me if you are not able to open it. I will give you the message in another way.
I love faily! this is awesomely creative. keep up the fantastic work. I love your posts ;')
I love it too! It is sometimes so freeing to do something out of your comfortzone.
you bet. my best art & writing evolved from complete & utter disaster! as Jung said 'Have you had any terrible successes lately?' - hahaha <3
Hahaha, that's a great quote! Failure is indeed the moment for finding new things. To do that we have to have the courage to examin our failures, accept it maybe isn't as we decided it should be and then celebrate our new findings.
