What is your motivation?

motivation-bannerI have been working on the Nonsense Society for almost a year now. Every week I receive submissions and see more art than I ever have before. Lately I have been thinking a lot about what makes art meaningful. I find that I am getting better and better at seeing through artists and their motivation. Obviously there are many technical factors that make art professional and pleasing, but that can only get you so far.


Sometimes I look at art that many would consider “amateur,” and I see something more. What is your motivation? Is it to be impress, is it to be popular, is it to make something beautiful, or is it because you truly love your art? Your audience can often tell your motivation, but can you? Shallow motivation leads to shallow satisfaction. This is something I’ve learned along the way.
