As a country full of anime, Japan has exported lots of anime works to the whole world steadily for a long time. Many of them have been recognized as the classic ones, loved by tens of anime fans around the world. From May 5th, the most authoritative Japanese website Oricon Style launched a three-day poll, named Whom do you think has changed the history of Japanese anime. The final answer came out on July 17th.

Now, who is the best in your opinion? I guess there will be no argue if I say Osamu Tezuka is the number one. Every anime enthusiast knows him. He established a new narrative technique for writing the manga, build the basis of the contemporary Japanese animation performance. And he is the first cartoonist who imports the assistant system and enterprise management. Also, he is the first guy to separate boy anime and girl anime. What a great success he has achieved. He is honored as the God of manga. You could understand the importance of the giant.

Astro Boy is Osamu Tezuka’s classical piece. Though, he passed away in 1989, he has become the shining example to all the following Japanese cartoonists.

Then, the second person in this list is Toriyama Akira, the writer of Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball is a household name for all the anime fans around the world, meanwhile, the father of Dragon Ball is also well known. You know, this manga has made a sales record of 193 million. I guess no one out there could sell better than it. Not long ago, a live action film Dragon Ball Evolution has been on the movie market which made the Dragon Ball fans crazy.

Fujiko Fujio, the father of Doraemon, takes the third place in this list. Since the first manga released in 1969, there are anime, theater version on show. Even there will be new theater version movies released in future.

Then, the next is Eiichiro Oda, the author of the classic One Piece. One Piece is still the winner of the first edition version’s sales. And One Piece, in my opinion, is the most popular anime in the world nowadays. Then, it is Takehiko Inoue who writes Slam Dunk. Slam Dunk is greatly praised in China. All the Chinese born in 1980s have watched this lovely anime. So, he deserves the title. It seems that the two active cartoonists have a good reputation as the deceased master, and maybe we could respect as masters now.

Mizuki Shigeru, Fujio Akazuka, Machiko Hasegawa are the following masters in the list. They are all wonderful cartoonists. Miyazaki Hayao is also on the list as a modern animation master. The last one is Akimoto Osamu and Naoki Urasawa. This is a wonderful list for you, anime fans. Enjoy it and figure out the list of your own opinion.

Artist’s Affirmation – How Affirmations Enhance Creativity With Artist’s Affirmations

An affirmation is a thought or any judgment we pass. Affirmations directly influences our sub consciousness which then directs it into a certain direction either leading to a positive or negative change in our lives. Affirmations can be related to anything such as weight loss, self-esteem, love or even helps discover artistic talents. Using the power of artist’s affirmations can help you discover your artistic and expressive side, which can help you not only in the realm of art, poetry, and the like, but also in relationships and in business.

Artist’s affirmations are different from ordinary person’s affirmation but you first need to figure out your creative self and what you are good at. Try to bring out your artist self by creating some artist affirmations such as ‘I am very creative’ or ‘I was born out of creativity’. Some are good at dancing, painting, acting and many more. The basic artist affirmation is to feel like an artist and pour out the emotions inside you. Feel the emotions and try putting those emotions in your work. When an artist has any affirmation, they actually love and respect their own thoughts and try their best to turn their thoughts into reality. Generic artist’s affirmations will work for some people, but for others, you need to be more specific when creating your artist affirmations.

To become a successful artist, an artist should get rid of any negative affirmations such as having a feeling of failure. The best way to get rid of negative affirmations for artists is to paint out their negative thoughts and then probably later destroy those paintings feeling that by destroying those paintings all the negative thoughts are destroyed along with the painting.

Secondly feel the energy of success with every affirmation you make. Successful artists always affirm that they is worthy of success. To become a successful artist, affirm on a daily basis to be more successful. This will help bring out true and successful artist in you. Also create works of art which express success, happiness, life full of energy and anything positive. An artist keeps these works to inspire him all the time. A successful artist not only affirms but also visualizes his affirmations. It is also important that very carefully artist hears his affirmations. Thus, make it a point to repeat your affirmations out loud to yourself, because this will enhance the experience.

Artist affirmations can be as generic or as specific as you’d like, however, in general, artistic affirmations should be general. Depending on your regular everyday speech patterns, creating an artist’s affirmation that states “I am creative when I paint” could be potentially harmful. This affirmation sounds exclusive, and as you come to believe in this artist’s affirmation, you may begin to believe that you are only creative when you paint. Thus, ‘I am a creative person’ would be better.

Many examples of artist affirmations are listed below and if practiced these artist affirmations regularly you will not only discover your creative self but also become a successful artist.

‘As I create and listen, I will be led’

‘Creativity is the creator’s will for me’

‘I am truly a gifted artist’

‘Through the use of a few simple tools, my creativity will flourish’

‘My creativity always leads me to success’

‘I am willing to create’
