yeah dude

"The free­lance gig tur­ned into a per­ma­nent job. I sta­yed. The first month in New York for a new­co­mer has this cer­tain ama­zing magic about it that is indesc­ri­ba­ble. Incan­des­cent luci­dity. Howe­ver long you stay in New York, you pretty much spend the rest of your time there trying to recap­ture that fee­ling. Cha­sing Manhat­tan Dra­gon. I sup­pose the whole point of the cards ini­tially was to somehow get that buzz onto paper."

- from a 2001 blog post by Hugh Macleod, brilliant writer-of-comics-on-business-cards.

And here's a picture I made inspired by his work,,,


The writing goes like this:

We do still live and be alive.
Not everywhere you see is awesome.
But women and men, kissing,
making love, having children, seeing
beautiful trees, laughing, dance parties.
All this is still, still awesome.

was reading the Vandalog art blog advertising a "street art" fair in London. makes me sort of crazy when I read things like "regardless of the level of talent involved in the act of graffiti the action itself is a pure form of artistic expression." So left a comment...

yeah, but I think it's tough with graffiti. this is all just my opinion, but if you were bringing people together to show their art, like paintings and stuff they did at home, it'd be a different thing than bringing people to one section of a city where you led an "insurgency" and put up a bunch of art that's basically been sprayed on a surface owned by someone else. I don't get that whole spectacle of it. I live in Prague. The city is full of graffiti. A house, a garage, whatever, is freshly painted and it doesn't take long before someone comes along and tags it. is that supposed to bring people together? does that "create a positive environment for creativity and give back to the public"? i don't know guys. art is everything. it's about sharing and communicating what you feel that might be like what other people feel. graffiti bums me out because they same way you don't want adverts and stuff imposed on you, you are imposing your art on people. most people don't care about your art, my art, or anyone's art. i don't get it. just share with like-minded people, screw the rest.

normal life

“The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job."

Seth again...
"Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

I call the process of doing your art 'the work.' It's possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that's how you become a linchpin.

The job is not the work.”
