Taboo-Artist #2: Kobe Bryant

Created a new mentality

Worked to “push beyond potential”

Enough said.

 

* The “Mamba mentality” really strives for greatness; perhaps even attempts to go beyond greatness to reach even higher heights. It’s about not giving up, about giving your all, about going toward something better, not worrying about what will happen next but what you can do now! Kobe was a modern-day philosopher, a creative genius. His passion for life will never be forgotten

What Is A Taboo-Artist Anyway?

Taboo-Artist:

noun

1. a person who goes against the grain in any medium of art.

2. an artist that “creates dangerously” (thanks Albert Camus), setting the trends instead of following them.

3. An artist seen as ahead of their time or doing something objectively unique, which often but not always referred to as too different for mainstream society to handle.

4. a person that breaks down proverbial walls, barriers, boundaries, and resets our notions of what is possible.

5. an artist expressing individuality to the upmost degree.

An Obvious Problem

Swimming in a dream

Is no training for swimming

In actual water

An obvious problem

Too late to be solved

 

*(I really must learn to swim soon. I should’ve learned this as a child, but was allergic to something in the water which kept me away ever since. And maybe now I’m just a wimp!)

Calling All Lovers

Let’s get talkative

Converse in cooperation

Dress like heirs or

Circulate a dose of our sweet drug

To confuse the rebel market

 

Allow nobody to shoot the timetable

We’ve generated eternally

We have a conscious index

Of how this voyage should end

So don’t let the mess transform you
