We humans make art as a natural part of being alive. When we live in societies to industrialized and specialized to have everyone make art - a sad case - some people become artists, creators and creatives. That's just how it goes when human's allow themselves to be put in boxes. You get "experts" and "novices", "professionals" - who do stuff for the money you'll pay them, and "amateurs" - who do things because they love to.
When art is made by and for a society though, and it resonates with the fundamental chords of that society's culture, it is loved by all. This is why, when the right song comes 'round, we all sing along.
Not because we're "singers" or can sing well, but because art is the province of the human, and as long as you stay human, art is natural.
That's what I, Rococonut believe - I'd say "we, Rococonuts", but there I don't think there's anyone else believes in Rococonutiny -> http://rbfafp6n.pen.io/ So, I, Rococonut make art like all humans generally do when given a chance or left to their own devices. One of the most popular subjects of art is our faith or our Beliefs or Religion. Great art has been produced in the name of G~ds and devils.
Rococonutiny doesn't have g~d's and devils, but has the hotbed of imagination from which I/we, Rococonut(s) think these entities spring. There's probably no more powerful forceful kind of imagination, or imaginary thing, than The Big Things - the ones that answer the Big Questions.
Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Even evolutionists and existentialists who have no g~ds either create powerful art based on their Big Things.
Evolution's Big Thing = the unstoppable natural force of Natural Selection and improvement by Adaptation to environment (a-hahahahahaha!)
Existentialisms Big Thing = meaninglessness, and the angst of being.
Tell me if I've misrepresented anyone. Send me a message here > http://liquiddiamond.org
Now I'm going to do an absurd thing and put the RococonArt, the art created based on The Big Thing of the Rococonutin faith at the beginning of this page instead of down here where it would belong. No point being linear. I think seeing is more important than reading the spiel that elucidates or 'shed's light on' the art.
.... image would've been here
The Big Thing of the Rococonutin faith = the Byrnian Compass. It represents and exemplifies the human need to express imagined things and if possible make them real. It's maybe Rococonutiny's only Big Thing.
