Apologies to Mr. Blaise for copping his title. How could someone not be inspired by this man?
Aaron Blaise is an accomplished and amazing artist, animator and filmmaker who has been extremely generous in sharing his work, insights and advice on his website The Art of Aaron Blaise (www.creatureartteacher.com) Aaron Blaise has produced beautiful work on films such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan and Brother Bear which he directed.
All artists are always trying to learn, grow, build up on what they have spent years mastering. Whatever motivates the artist, there are always stumbles and outright obstacles. Every now and then, the artist finds an oasis of information or inspiration that can help keep him/ her going. Aaron's online advice is certainly one.
One of the most important things about the art process is that it's not so much "what you do" but "how you think" about your work. This is one of the greatest areas of advice you will find on Aaron Blaise's website or Youtube channel.
His advice is clear, accessible and most important, sincere.
If you want to improve your knowledge of art, painting, composition, animation or filmmaking, go to his website, you will not be disappointed.
The clip above left a considerable impression on me as it was a testament to the amazing things you can do when you find it in yourself to persist and keep moving forward. There are good things in the world, there is magic that you, yourself can make. It's there if you can persist.
"...persist. Persist in your art, persist in life, persist in creating beauty for everyone else. It's our job to make someone else's life better." - Aaron Blaise
Thank you for your efforts and inspiration, Aaron.
