One Ton Goldfish: In Search of the Tangible Dream
Opens the door for a deeper conversation about creativity in every possible manifestation, and strengthens the understanding of the radical effect creativity has on humankind...radical in all its definitions: comprehensive, essential, and revolutionary.
“Justin has a unique way of connecting his rich experiences as an artist and entrepreneur to the minds and hearts of people from all walks of life. His words not only translated some of the deepest thoughts and intentions behind his creative process and journey but also left us all with wisdom to take along in our own lives. As an artist, I truly appreciate his honesty, vulnerability, and willingness to share his experiences - I walked away feeling less alone and more motivated to continue down my own creative path. It was what I needed to hear, at that exact moment, and I know it spoke to so many on multiple levels as well. Such a gift!.”

“"OTG helped me realize that there's always a community of peers that share your hardships and ideals. It also helped me to identify and redirect my creative flow..”

“Understanding the "tangible dream" is a simplistic concept with a complex meaning. The desired goal or in this case, the tangible dream, Justin Garcia speaks of is to never change who you are and to always be heard. The idea Garcia is attempting to convey is not that of trying to be someone you’re not to please others or to be a carbon copy of someone else, rather it’s that of letting the world see who you are. What most people don’t realize is how thought out this book is, it is something that not only do you read but you truly feel the emotion behind every phrase, thought, word, and idea. You will live Garcia's life through this book..”

After creating the seventh in a series of extraordinary paintings, his insatiable curiosity prompted him to investigate the deeper reasons behind each of the series. Garcia took a year-long break from painting, to reflect on his life and contemplate his works. In his reflection, he saw the experiences that led him to envision each series, the processes that allowed him to create them, and the personal evolution he derived from them. He began to sketch his thoughts and write his ideas...and then, he saw it all, on a grand and unpredictably universal scale. In his deep exploration, Garcia uncovered a remarkable scientific interpretation of the creative process that can be applied to every aspect of life.
