The art of everything

Being artistic isn't limited to the traditional arts. Anyone can be artistic in any field, no matter how far away from a traditional art it is. You can apply your own artistic flair to your job by simply treating your outcomes or deliverables as an art form.

My local tailor is an elderly gent who works in the corner of a shoe repair shop. His work is amazing and everything he does is beautiful, even if it is a simple hem lift. During my last visit I sat and chatted with him for a while about his work. He uses a 50 year old foot-pedal powered sewing machine - the reason he says, is because the new machines don't give him the ability to impart his own skill into his work. His skill isn't in using the machine, it's in understanding fabrics, dress style, and how clothes are supposed to fit. This is his art, and he is a master.

Makes you realise that anyone can be an artist by finding the art within your work and applying your arty side to everything you do. An artistic plumber/ Yes I believe it's possible.
