oh this internet.
Posted in the blog on January 14th, 2010I don’t have the patience and/or dedication to build a fancy blog that highlights and features what people are making. I’m glad they exist. They certainly help spread the word of all the talents out there! But goodness, I just don’t get it all. These collections of things are sort of taking over. If everyone has so much access to everything…then the access becomes debilitating. Does that make sense?
I don’t even know what I’m saying. just rambling. I do think the equal access to useful and useless knowledge is eating our brains.
But then again…I use my internet browsers and tabs like I use a list or sketchbook. Its kind of weird. I keep tabs and tabs open to remind me of images and or projects. It can get kind of ridiculous when I’m working on something.
After a day of depression because 27 started sinking in…I’m getting it back together. IDEAS are pouring in and out. Trying to have the mentality that Woody Allen had. Instead of comparing my making art to the tragedy that strikes the world and how pointless it makes it seem…I’m trying to think of it in terms of the collective unconscious and that my art can bring positivity to the world. Like if positive energy was a giant pot that we threw stuff in…and the bigger and bigger the batch gets, the more it spreads. Tangent time apparently. Oh well this is my blog… and not many people read it.
on a lighter note….
these ideas are glorious and I can’t wait to start on this new project. I want to take this one beyond my expectations!

I relate to you said about “comparing my making art to the tragedy that strikes the world…” I struggle with that feeling too, but I like your idea of collective unconscious a lot!

I’m sure thats a burden that creative types always struggle with. I want to do more for the world! So I better start brainstorming…can’t expect the universe to give me opportunities in life if, I’m not doing some giving back!
Atleast, the weather has been pretty mild up here!
