I schlepped through the drizzling rain to downtown and went to an indie comic/art convention called APE today. Though I was really inspired with the ornate, groteque, and often oddball pieces produced at the hands of creative types, I was even more inspiring to be in a room with so many creative minds in one hall... It made me thing again about my own "art" and what I desired to make and create. I could see some comics that I felt were rather flat, like others which made me feel like, "YES, THAT is what I want to make!"
I want to make art that connects the lingering elements of people minds, hidden desires and dreams and puts them in the context of current reality. Fantasy and social commentary. Utilitarian art would also be good...
Lingering desires to reality. words to action.
Goal of the week, complete hw assignments, plan out storybook, complete JET application.
