Art Ponderings from November 19th, 2009
As a child, I would ask my mother “what if questions”. “What if the first person to drink from a cow’s nipple never did? How would we eat our Cheerios cereal?” As grown-ups we instead develop sophomoric answers for these fundamental questions about existence. Humans are interesting creatures. We can make machines to fly to mars but cannot agree on where how we got on earth. I think it’s just great that graffiti is a felony in the U.S.A. I’m not going to elaborate but we have been writing on walls since we were stupid, hairy and crapped everywhere. Got to keep that utopian vision in sight. Utopia is just a form of escapism. Chris Johanson makes paintings about utopia and how fucked up America’s vision is of it. They are powerful and make my head tingle. He also has a long beard, a very hairy man. He is not a great technical painter; I think I could be as good as him some day. He is a member of The Beautiful Losers, an art collective consisting of all my favorite artists. I like them all because they are not that talented but very smart and make money doing art.
I am mostly concerned with money because women are attracted to money. Overall, I am uninteresting and boring to be around. Women need to be entertained and I am just not good at that. I hope I can find a woman that is intellectual enough to see past my bad drawings and we can make sex art together.
