OP, are you saying that Artists are in a class of their own and they are more special than say an Accountant, Lawyer, Factory worker, Landscaper?
Even artists need a "day job". Sheeeesh.
The term "starving artist"????
For me, I get along great with "artsy" women. | |

The big problem comes when u might argue over the sable brushes and the tubes of burnt sienna and vermillion green, that usually wind up conveniently in your artiste' partner/ buddy/ friend's pallette!! - been there a few times...!! Artists can give one another lots of practical advice and inspiration- the big problem with us artists, is MOTIVATION, in the creative process......sometimes the process dries up, until something triggers it, and reawakens the whole creative flow , one more time.. i call these- the peaks and valleys... We all have the creative juices in us- in so many different forms. | |

With other artists, I found more a matter of creative differences than non art people. I prefer non art people for serious live in or marriage... since I then get to pick the decor.
^^^My experience and thoughts as well!  | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 8:16:34 PM | | i'm an artist too. i know exactly the experience of communication with another artist. in terms of lifestyleor social conventions,there seems to be more immediate understanding or recognition. i've been wanting to date artists, were they more plentiful in my locale. altho creativity is within many personalities and professions, i liken the rapport between artists much as an inside joke which needs no subtitlesor explanations, because of a commonality of experience or knowledge. it can be tedious to explain a joke. i think what is wonderful and perhaps typifies artist's styleof communicationisthe use of metaphor illustratingshape thoughts. i've had good times with some lawyer and doctor friends too. but there can be a greater disparity in lifestyle,social expectations,materialism, values. i wish there were more bohemians. but that era seems to have vanished for 30 years. | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 7:25:05 PM | | I hear you. I have never dated an artist and as an artist that part of me is never understood. I was never able to grow and expand until I became single. I have been for five years and I have been able to develop my art beyond hobby which is all a non artist is going to see you cute little paintings. Unfortunately I live in a small community that does endorse art. We even have art walks once a month on the town square, but can I meet one.....not yet. I came close by dating a photographer. There are two things I want from my forever mate, Faith and art. I don't want an art lover because they tend to worship and falling from a pedestal really hurts. I just want someone who understands how easy it is to get caught up in what I am creating and not realize it has been two days since I called or even answered the phone. Am I asking too much??? | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 11:51:26 PM | Oh, God YES! It's a basic synergy. I feel it with people I meet socially too. When you are a creative person, it's pretty difficult to date a business person unless they also have a creative streak.
It's like when I went to college for animation...I realized the first day that I finally fit in and felt normal around other similar people. We go into a particular field because we think a certain way. It makes sense we would be attracted or have kinship with someone who thinks that way as well. My longest relationships have been with other creatives...perhaps this is why. | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 11:58:27 PM | I totally agree. I can get along much better with someone who is creative in their life then say an accountant who works with numbers all day.
That is why I know lawyers who are married to other lawyers or people in the law field.
I have two friends who are accountants and their lives are wonderully boring to me but they get along just fine.
So, yea I get it.

I cannot stop guffawing at this response.....
Funny how lawyers and accountants LOVE paying high prices for art after an artist has passed.... Can't say that most will pay that price for an accountants LEDGER.......... Unless it's filled with future clients to keep charging........ | |
