Why do I even bother doing these things? Chances are no one will read this or hear anything I've done (don't worry, I have received comments on my work, I'm just putting this idea out there).

Do I worry about whether or not you like what I have to express? Here is a post I recently put up on Rainn Wilson's new site, SoulPancake:

Creativity is inherent; craft is learned. Both work together to express what is in the soul.
I have seen many people who are great crafters but not very creative and very creative people who are frustrated at not being able to express it as they want to for lack of skills.

Motivation is another important factor. Frustration can lead to apathy and disinterest in expression. I do believe, though, that expression of creativity is paramount to a happy life. Every one of us has something to express deep inside the soul.

One prime motivator is the desire to make our mark in history, to say "I was here"; however there are many cases of people who were the most popular in their day, but are now almost forgotten. A fascinating read is "Banvard's Folly" by Paul S. Collins. He illustrates 13 stories about fervrent individuals who had set out to change the world but didn't. John Banvard, whose story provides the book's title, was an extremely creative painter whose mammoth works were celebrated in their time but have now all but disappeared.

Therefore, I believe that the best way to go about things is to express your creativity in the way you see fit. If you feel that is accurately expressing your vision and it entertains you, than it is the greatest accomplishment. If others are impressed by it, then it's even better - but that should not be the prime motivation. After all, what are the achievements of the greatest pop stars of our time going to compare to, say, the Pyramids? Only time will tell.

As for my work, take a look at this:
