After I built the artist’s statement I asked AI to turn it into a beatnik poem. This is the result. Shoosty’s Groovy Artist Manifesto: A Beatnik Bop for 2024 This ain’t your daddy’s artist statement, man. Forget stuffy galleries and preten - tious pronouncements. This is a heart-to- heart with a shot of espresso, a fire-escape serenade for the creator in all of us. Dig this: I’m Shoosty, a multimedia art - ist on a nonstop exploration. From coding to canvas, I chase the muse wherever it leads. Words are my paintbrush, books my time machine. Each sketch, a fleeting butterfly, finds its forever home bound be - tween pages. But the groove don’t stop there, daddy-o. I’m feeling the pull of the future, the indus - trial symphony of machines. Silks printed with my art – that’s the kind of collabora - tion that gets my motor running. It’s a chal - lenge, a wild riff waiting to be played. Here’s the secret sauce, the key to un - locking the creative cosmos: daily practice, baby. Whether it’s a quick sketch or wres - tling with a new software, I put in the hours to hone my craft. Mastering a few skills is cool, but this is a lifelong jam session, man. There’s always a new melody to learn, a gap in my knowledge waiting to be filled.
And dig this, cats: collaboration is the name of the game. Building a legacy ain’t a solo act. Museums that share art, global partnerships sparking inspiration – that’s the future I see. It takes a crew, a band of dedicated cats who understand the art of “passing the torch.” Leadership is cool, but a legacy needs a whole orchestra to truly shine. Shoosty Bugs , that’s my jam right now. It’s a fusion of nature’s beauty and cultural grooves. These buggin’ creations are edu - cational tools, a platform for global collabo - ration and artistic expression. In the end, it’s all about the journey, man. Every step on this artistic path is a chance to leave your mark, to write your name on a rock. It’s about passion, about sharing the gifts we’re given, no matter how big or small. Check out my website, www.shoosty.com, where you can grab my books for free (reg - istration’s a must, though). Let’s keep this creative fire burning, cats!
Keep on groovin’ – Shoosty 2024
