Cosmic Cinema

The big takeaway: do drugs so you can make psychedelic art. 

-really cool psychedelic art, might i add. I think it is one thing to create original art. And it is another thing to genuinely make other people experience  and enjoy your type of art.. And it is very satisfying to see a person able to do that. That is to say that I think Belson is a good example of the artist who is able to create what he wants to create and be respected for it. His art is based purely on his views and beliefs of the world and his desire to recreate what he sees on film. He isn't motivated by any other external desire other than seeing his work materialized. His goal isn't to have other people like his work. He just creates. And I think that he is very successful, in that he has the very special ability to make others enjoy his work to that extent. 

When considering his works, you can feel the energy. After having read about how he really puts himself into his work, it makes it much more meaningful, and much more of a reality that you get to experience (through his eyes). And i believe it is because of his process. He really understands what he wants you to feel, and to experience, and he works towards that feeling relentlessly. A strong theme is why he is able to create such content. And it all comes down to your inspiration as a person and as an artist (whatever moves you, shapes you as a person), coupled with your ability to realize it so that others may enjoy it as you see it. It's all very inspirational.
