Artist or Creative, a distinction
- We are all creative.
- We are all artists potentially, but clearly not everyone is an artist.
- Artists are no ‘better’ than creatives, but they have a great privilege
- Artists are no worse, but they bear a huge responsibility
- Creatives can get away with just expression, creative energy if you like
- Artists add value with craft and unique expression.
- Artists are not subject to creatives (more on this in weeks to come), but they must render subjects creatively. A “Fresh look, and a fresh listen’ was how Frost put it.
- Creatives and would-be artists ought not to make [inflated] subjects of artists, to quote Oscar Wilde, “Be Yourself, because everyone else is taken’
Thats my attempt at a distinction, what do you reckon?
-
Who/what is [verb]swish?
A type of word + a sound, in a noun? a lyricist; a name, a style, a purpose, a privilege
-
A lyricist from South London, a collector of swishisms, someone.who.is.still.hoping
