The Art of Peer Pressure

Order and chaos, so cliché. Pretend for a second that those people aren’t just Da Vinci’s Vitruvian person inside a Boethian wheel and instead that they are you and me. Or better yet pretend that each gear is actually a sun and each individual actually represents some alien world orbiting said sun. No matter how hard you and me or us and Trisolaris try, the gears ain’t gonna stop turning (so cliché). That said, it doesn’t mean we can’t build our own little world and have a blast doing so (slightly less cliché?). In the case of the Vitruvian person, he likes to have a blast getting jacked asf apparently (idk, go ask Da Vinci).

, you consume.

Stuck somewhere In between I wish we never met and I wish we could meet for the first time all over again. 

Update (06-16-22): It just occurred to me that this painting is 1000% subconsciously inspired by Frida Kahlo’s ‘Diego On My Mind” (1943). I’m amazed at how that happened the similarities are uncanny af. Carl jung would be having a field day rn.

Postmodern French Revolution

I’m basically a modern postmodernist lol, someone who talks a lot of shit about everything and anything on the internet, but never offers up much of a solution. 

With all this shittalking I do it may surprise some to know that I’m more or less usually pretty happy. I think when it comes down to it, it’s because of my relationships. No matter what happens with me I just know I always got my gang to support me. I’m super lucky to have found a passion at such a young age but at the end of the day passion means nothing if you don’t have people to share it with. That may seem counter-intuitive, but I believe if you are passionate about something it should be a given that you should have no shame in sharing it with the world. 

For example, If you feel like it’s your calling to make art but you don’t share any art with the world around you can you really say it’s you calling? In the eyes of everyone else you are not an artist, so you may as well just not be one. 

I think this shows two things. 1. Do not stress about your passion because it is meaningless. A passion is really just anything your proud of. And 2. Relationships reign supreme. I am proud to show my art to my friends only because I’m proud to call them my friends.
