Haven’t
felt all that artistically inspired or challenged lately, which stems from in
real life. I could definitely use a circle of more ridiculous and possessed
artists, at least at times like this, when I’m feeling rundown or stuck in some
ruts. Where I live is overly saturated with boring and mundane artists doing
boring and mundane work which is idolized by boring and mundane people. I see
people posting shit in their social media that’s supposed to be deep and
brilliant, and it feels so forced and egotistic and pathetic. But people lap it
up. I ain’t trying to be a hater, but damn, don’t we hold ourselves to a higher
standard than that? Does the artistic urge dry up? Do people stop feeling
compelled to create shit and then just sit back and barely work on a project
while they fondly reminisce about their glory days 15 years ago? That shit
feels wack to me, and irrelevant. Then again, maybe I’m wack and irrelevant.
That’s how I feel, to be honest, which is fine, because feeling like that
forces me to try and find inspiration in some other fucked up shit, switch up
my own bullshit patterns. Art should not be boring, ever. What the fuck? That’s
like having shitty sex, why the fuck bother? Creation never sleeps, if you are
tapped into the universe the way you can be.
