I would guess in a world of billions of people conformity is a necessity to run a smooth functioning culture. Everything is directed at sameness. Unforinity is security.
But sometimes polyps develop in the colon of mankind. And I just might be one of these distracting anomalies. I wouldn't dare hide behind the cloak of artistic privilege myself, and especially classify all other artists as mavericks. Being an artist and associating with artists for more then fifty years I would have to confess many artists are simply closet followers.
Artists tend to huddle togheter under the safety of movements and trends, they milk the prevailing crazes dry. Offcourse this isn't true of all artists, but the rare original few are generally sidelinded until they eventually surface.
With all due respect, I myself can't avoid nonconformity, it's not an affectation with me, it's my psychosis. I'm a born recalcitrant, and unfortunately an unrepentant miscreant. "recalcitrant" is the military term for those who cannot be brought in to line, a reationary malcontent.
I know this because I faced this problem in military-school as a child. If that wasn't enough I show all the symptons of being an unbridled "miscreant", an old bibical term for someone who has been miscreated, an incorrigible person. I don't revel in my personal anamalies, I just keep them in check. That's until a pencil or brush gets in my hands. At this point I seem to exalt through my compulsion ( in my mind anyway ).
I see this in other artists, this is the malady of true bohemians such as painters, sculptors, writers, poets, musicians, actors and other people who are driven to do things that aren't socially accountable. In my opinion however, one thing to be cautions about is that the nonconformity mind is only two degress away from the criminal mind. And in many cases they overlap. This is not a chance coincidence. Irregularities in any system causes problems. Problems that work out accidently for the good is infact evolution. Evolution grants it's favors only through the benefits of mistakes. I would say, if it had been a perfect world we would never have gotten there.
