"At their most straightforward, the Artists are special, not because they are somehow more gifted than the masters, but because of their passionate disregard for convention, their deep awareness of what it takes to be succeed, and an unnatural compulsion to explore whatever lies beyond reach. They are obsessed with the pursuit of their goal, giving everything they have, overcoming all obstacles, and as they chase down theur visions of perfection, we ourselves are rewarded with something measured not in degrees, points or awestruck gasps, but in soul. They are individuals and they are often misunderstood. While others may follow them, recording and commenting on their every move, they remain solitary, driven figures, undeterred by the subjective opinions and surface assessments of others, cutting words from those who cannot yet see the beauty, the soul. While the Artists carve new shapes and textures on the face of the world, not everyone respects or understands them; they don't know what it takes, or even what it is. Undeterred, the Artists keep going further in every respect, cutting through the dark and fearlessly lighting the way for the rest. They change the way thing are and, as they do, they change us. So what is the essential difference? What name shall we give to sheer defiance? It is Artistry." THIS IS THE ORDER, Issue 1
