Another Day

I Defy You - Pen/Brush and Ink on paper, 9 x 12



I don't have much to say about this piece except "it's done." Now it can get busy collecting dust! Seriously folks, artists who don't prolifically sell, but prolifically create are immensely wasteful.

This morning I was listening to my local NPR station's weekly what's going on in the local world of art segment, and was slightly annoyed by how passive and self-important the guests sounded. Do we all sound like this? The public does not want art that says something, art that contains beauty and depth, art that pushes the boundaries. The consuming public in fact does not know what they/we want. So the marketplace is flooded with "art" of all kinds trinkets and masterpieces resting side by side...and somewhere, all meaning is lost, washed way in the flood until those who have stood the test of time are left waving their fists at the world of men screaming "is that all?"


Happy slushy Thursday!
