It's a matter of simplifying. Practice removing extraneous ideas until you have only what's needed to express a simple thought. I work at this everyday. #MichaelJackson #Art #KingOfPop #CarneyArt #KingofPopMichaelJackson #GlovedOne #Love #Music #ThereIsOnlyOne #MJFam

Precious moments. Keep your creative dreams alive. Life as an artist is full of turning points, possibilities, opportunities and surprises. #CarneyArt #Artist #Drawing #InkArt #Portrait

I went through the whole music thing growing up. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Of course the fifties Rock n’ Roll with Elvis, Buddy & Chuck. Then my favorite era, the sixties. Mick Jagger is still one of my favorites. #CarneyArt #Artist #Painting #Acrylic

Every day as an artist I get to infuse people's lives with emotion, I get to touch people where they live. It's not what I say in a painting, it's how I say it. #MichaelJackson #Art #KingOfPop #CarneyArt #KingofPopMichaelJackson #GlovedOne #Love #Music #ThereIsOnlyOne #MJFam

Art isn't about good artwork, it’s about being artistic. It's not about pretty pictures alone. It's about the attitude and sensitivities that a work of art may evoke. It's about giving the viewer something that they never could imagine. #CarneyArt #Artist #Drawing #InkArt #Art

Don't ya love when a color makes itself heard and it's voice communicates the results before they happen. I so love the creative spirit. #CarneyArt #Artist #Painting #Acrylic #PopArt

Attending SVA in NY City in the sixties influenced everything I’ve created. Taking that influence, the only thing the I could do is be honest with myself and make the art that I’d like to make. That's what I've always done. #CarneyArt #Artist #Portrait #PopArt #SVA

Drawing is quite intimate and reveals exactly where we are as artists and in a culture that isn't comfortable with that, it frightens many. Recent drawings. #CarneyArt #Artist #Drawing #InkArt #Portraits

Beauty is the illumination of an artist soul as he creates. #MichaelJackson #Art #KingOfPop #CarneyArt #KingofPopMichaelJackson #GlovedOne #Love #Music #ThereIsOnlyOne #MJFam

An artist loves to create an energy within that increases the level of vibration that translates on to the paper that the viewer can feel. #CarneyArt #Artist #Drawing #InkArt #Portraits
