I always thought being an artist was a lazy job. I was wrong.
From Damian Loeb
Our memories are convenient lies we create, cribbing images from others' experiences. We discard the personal specifics which don't conform to the ideal conventional beauty created by art directors and cinematographers.
Artists talk in 'art speak.'
I had no interest in high school besides art.
When I'm not painting, I'm Oujia-boarding with my photos. I'll sort through my pictures, put them in different folders, and come back months later to one in particular and try to figure out why I took it.
I take a lot of pictures.
I have always been interested in having people fall into the image and be aware of their reaction first, and then think about the style.
I have to assume that everybody interprets a piece of art they're exposed to as if it's already perfect in its wholeness, without knowing any backstory.
Ironically, my paintings don't photograph well.
The advent of the digital age and the immediacy and convenience of digital video and photography allows people to become an integral part of the feedback loop which actively shapes the content we are fed.
