The search for quality content takes me to a place where I never thought I would look and yet I look with open eyes.
One man's trash is another man's treasure, we have all heard this sayings and I believe it to be true. Usually I am pulling quality items out of the trash and selling them for cash but steemit has opened my eyes and my idea of treasures have changed drastically.
I find it a challenge to throw things away and would have a hard time littering public spaces and I am unable to source this artwork but I can show you the alley where I found it if you happen to be in Long Beach California. I will meet with you and seek out quality alley way dumpster content and share the author reward.
Jimi Hendrix lyrics talked about "Tire tracks all across your back" but the tire tracks all over this renditions face suggests not having fun at all.
I don't think the person that drove over this drawing thought anything of the work involved in creating this piece, I wondered who the artist was and why they threw their drawings in the trash to begin with. Did they not enjoy drawing?
Like I said before I have a problem throwing things away so I just don't understand this artist at all. I don't want tire tracks over any of my creations nor would I want my first showing to be in the alley near a dumpster.
Each artist is free to share his work with the world in any way they see fit, but It would not have been my choice. I do not try and attempt to change the way the artist portrays his work, only see what I see without bias or judgment.
To me it looks as though this artist is improving, I know I would be more inspired to draw a naked lady than some guy's face so maybe it's just a matter of attention to detail.
There is a possibility he was going to be showing his drawing to the model? Or maybe he just wanted to preserve the moment, I say "he" but it could be a "she" that was creating the artwork so perfectly scattered as trash near the dumpster in the alley. Quality curation is in the eye of the curator I suppose.
Very nice shading and attention to detail I think, I am not an artist so I would just be guessing but my eye was drawn to this piece even though it was surrounded by things I would rather not be seeing in the collage of creativity but this time the artist has given me no choice in the medium I am experiencing.
The realism in the problems of this world and personal issues of artists and ordinary people often sew the secrets of their lives and troubles for all the world to see, make no mistake about it...
"The struggle is real"
The scattered ideas and visions tossed about like nothing ever mattered to begin with.
