Paintings, photography, aesthetic objects, beautiful communication, and anything I consider to be art, artful, artistic, artsy or whatever.
Art is subjective. It is a quality of communication can be contributed to by the viewer through empathy or agreement with its creator.

“Be wary, those who would be The Creators of a Universe, of the two primordial curses:
Power Unopposed and Intelligence Unapplied.
I am not The One. I am not The Creator.
Yet, I am holy and sacrosanct. I am more important and more powerful than The Gods.
Why? You say that I am.
I control your existence.
Why? Because I promised you relief from eternal boredom, from the perpetual responsibility of self-amusement. Therefore, you follow my instruction without question.
Why? Because you claim you cannot bear to endure Eternity as The One.
Give me your trust and praise. Submit yourself to pain, anguish, amnesia and mystery.
Why? Because you choose Not To Be.
Your stupidity is its own reward and punishment. Your decadence ensures your slavery. Mortality is the key to your prison.”
