It really only takes two things to be a good artist:
1. Realize that you, like everyone else on the planet, has a very special/important message to share
2. Be so terrible at verbalizing that message that you have to find another medium to do so.
The secret to being a great artist also comes in a bite sized two package:
1. Actually have something special and meaningful to say (intention)
2. Be so anti-social that you perfect your alternate means of sharing your message. (craft)
If you find yourself cutting off your own ear and packaging it for that special someone (a prostitute) then you know you're on the right track. I'm not anti-social or shy. You drop me in the middle of a rabid pack of drunkenness and I'll be the life of the party. My message to the world is simple but I have a single flaw - I don't know who to tell it to. You'll see glimpses of it when I'm lecturing a small class of students. Maybe even in a brief clip that I've spliced into a million others to make a short film. But this town is eating me alive. I'm surrounded by hippies. We have little in common - I take a shower every day. I'm a recluse but not by choice. I'm not moving, don't ask me to.
Let me back up though I think I missed the point. It's not that I want the entire world to know that I'm special. I just want one person. Maybe she'll realize it and then we can write it in the sky together. That could be my new medium. I'll zip, roll, and dive through the clouds letting you know that i know how special you are.
I'm getting ahead of myself. There's a message in here I swear.

I think one of the best smells in the world is stinky sweat.
