Sometimes when I think about Art I get so pumped I just want to cry. Like there is a living force in my stomach that is growing and threatening to explode, ripping me apart, but instead of fearing it it would be wholly welcomed. There's so much about Art and it's history that I want to absorb and learn about. I would imagine it is like the ( Read more... )

I envy your passion.

You should envy nothing about me.

There's something there, you'd better believe it.

I don't know if it's the styles that have come as of late... those trends you see in graphic design on sites like threadless.com or on people's myspace pages. Those cutesy interpretations of our everyday world seem more like the acid-eater's escape from the issues that really need to be attacked.

I don't think you need to put yourself on the sidelines. Gandhi said it best, "Be the change you want to see in the world." If you want this to happen, goddammit, grab arms with your fellow artist and we'll hit the world with something .

We won't know what will go in the textbooks in the next decade about our "movement", our generation's signature sweep through the halls of art history; but that's not what is important. It's not what people will say about our work in ages to come that matters; it's what we do with our work while we're there create it.

As a sidenote, however, I believe the western world needs a total shift in the paradigm. We are not products of our own environment; we ARE ( ... )

threadless looks like fucking bullshit. i don't know when it was that every 20-something with a computer thought he/she could be a graphic designer but it's fucking crap. i'm waiting for the "i silkscreened this tshirt myself, isn't it the coolest" cesspool of evil to pass. it's not art, it's not art, it's not art!!!

but seriously, there's great art and ridiculously creative and original styles emerging from all over the place and there has been for quite a while, you just gotta seek it out ( ... )

i dunno... i draw/illustrate cute little creatures to show my complete dis-taste for society. the world is so shitty, and honestly, there's not much to look forward to, especially once you get older and you realize how bad it is. i draw what i draw to reminence about what i remember when i was little. when you were young, you were so naive to everything, and the world seemed interesting and wonderful. i want to capture the same feeling that i had in my mind and in my dreams. it makes me feel better, and it's not about how good of an artist that you are, it's what you can capture with your mind and put it to paper that makes it "art". people tend to forget that realism isn't what people want to see. it's your mind that creates the journeys that people take when they look at a painted canvas or a drawing ( ... )
