ABOUT THE SITE

This site is about advocating, discovering, enriching, and sharing the creative process to the public and around the world (that means you too time travelers). Gracie AKA site creator (read below), seeks artists around the world, no matter their merit, and simply...converse about the arts.

Just like a machine, Gracie includes anything and anyone who practices their craft in a way that they share their phenomena to the world. The concept of a machine (an idea from Johannes Gutenberg's, Printing Press Machine), a metaphorical apparatus that begins with tools and ideas passed into a machine creating more of the product to share with the rest of the world.

Who pulls the lever? Well, depends on how big we imagine the machine to be---Hint: We'll need a couple people if the machine is bigger than your ordinary Honda Civic.

Aside from the scholar work behind self-researching the arts (i.e film reviews, composition, and podcasts) the site guides and encourages young artists to understand about the necessities (and sometimes sacrifices) made towards their craft.

Remember, the creative process begins with you.
