I probably don’t need to go so crazy with signing all my art… Unless I post on Pinterest or something, haha! At least, that’s what I’ve heard.
Maybe I shouldn’t try and draw perspective when I’m sleep deprived.
Why is it when I get into an art frenzy I don't like using paper that is meant for art, but like I color on things that you're not supposed to art on like skin or glass and clothes like I want to draw on those and create art you know what I mean?
This week I found myself talking about artist Jayson Musson’s “Art Thoughtz” again. The series of videos are done in a classic YouTube style, with low grade effects, text, and even complete with a low resolution webcam video of Jayson Musson in his persona “Hennessy Youngman”. The videos themselves challenge the art world with humor and exaggeration, spliced together with more seriously delivered well thought out critiques. Musson’s critiques on the history and present state of art bring a fresh level of awareness with a modern way of sharing and creating,YouTube. Critiques are presented in a way that does not shy away from the low brow conventions of the internet but they are embraced and satirized, though shown to be just as ridiculous as much of art’s history. It becomes apparent that these videos humorously lecture a lot about mediums and art culture, but in the modern and very meta stage of the 2010’s, this is clearly art in itself.
Hennessy Youngman's "Art Thoughtz episode on institutional critique.
Man to all artists out there, you don't have to draw every day. I remember when I drew every day, it was painful and I always made myself feel terrible about my drawings. I was slowly getting better but when I didn't draw every day, I got better at drawing faster. The moral of the story try not to beat yourself up, I it will happen matter what, but all you can do is try.÷>
