The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Image
Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.

Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.

Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.

That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.

I sang a song in Hindi nobody even knew what that was. Singing about Native American issues, nobody did that... I had no reason to want to copy anybody else... All I had was my originality.

The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.

By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

Grab a guitar, put some kind of strings on it, a banjo string, then a violin string, then a guitar string, tune it any way you want, and make some noise, and see what you get. And work on it until you get something that you think is interesting. That's all there is to art for me.

There is so much joy in native culture but so much poverty. It's very disturbing.

My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.

I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.

As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar...Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel...This song (Until It's Time for You To Go) popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.

The time I save setting up and cleaning up probably balances out by the time I spend on output.

People sometimes ask me, because of the blacklisting, Do you hate the government? Don't you hate white people? No, it's greed that's the problem.

I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.

What can government do? They can listen to their own people. But I'll tell you what citizens can do, when we elect one of these people - whether we think it's a good guy or a bozo - you got to stay on the case. You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.

We also have the option of scanning in an image from outside the computer... a photo, or a sketch done with traditional tools and we can then paint, manipulate, process, change, and further develop the image within the computer, watching our progress on the monitor.
