Chapter 05: Beauty is Embarrassing Documentary with guest Debra Naeve
On this podcast, Debra Naeve joins us to talk about her former school alumnus, Wayne White while we dive into his documentary "Beauty Is Embarrassing."
We also talk about how Debra isn't a witch, and also what makes Wayne White's approach to life and art so refreshing and inspiring.
"Art" is creation. It is the means to do and make something you like. At some point, artists have to start looking at their work as a means of commodity as opposed to. a means of expression.
How do we embrace that little kid that was a kick ass artist? That kid who didn't care what others thought, and that they just loved to make art. It's a series of peers and other doubts that are cast over time and then begins to weigh on most.
Moral of the story, just make art and make do what you would like.
And, as Manuel says, "It's easy to break things. It's hard to create things."
Keep creatin' y'all.
