Part One Money
Part Two People and Help
SPEAKER_00This time we're going to talk about giving back. And I think as a person, I'm not even going to use the word artist. I'm just going to say, as a person, as a person who cares about people, and I mean people all over the world, my range is the world. All people in all countries, all over the world. And as a person who has the ability to create stuff, whatever stuff you create, I don't care, whatever designs, whatever the material, whatever the scope, whatever modeling, whatever, whatever you are able to make, at some point you want to be able to give something back. And here's an example of what I do. You guys do whatever you decide, but um I have reached out and I have reached to a number of schools and teachers and um have donated a number of my paintings to the organizations. And you'd say, Well, you just lost$500, Dave. I didn't lose anything. My painting is going on display for thousands of people. That's number one. Number two, it's a representation of my work, it's a body and representation of my work. And number three, it's going for a good cause. And in some cases, the organizations will say, Dave, we're going to sell your piece and we're going to use the money to help children. And I'm 100% in that. So that's my way of giving back. And in fact, I'm just involved this coming week with another organization that one of my paintings is going to be auctioned off and sold, and the money is going to help the organization and help feed people and help help help communities, help people and help help the you know people's lives. And I don't look at it from a money point of view. I look at it as as it represents who I am and it represents my artwork and it represents community and it represents helping. And especially when it comes to young children and children coming up, and children that want to be creative and they want to get into this creative process and they want to be able to do artistic things. Um, I definitely care about that. And so for all the people out there in the world that create stuff, that makes stuff, think about ways that you can help your local communities and think about ways that you can give back something. It's not about the money you lost, it has nothing to do with money, it has to do with helping. And that's something that I represent a hundred percent.
