Art
Wednesday, September 10th, 2003 by joelSome folks have called me an artist. Yes, I know,
its tough to imagine.? I think we can all agree that is not the case.? I
mean, sure, I have talent, but I also have no patience.? A true artist
will draw and re-draw something correcting the minor details and
sometimes throwing out the whole thing in order to start over again.? I
can’t handle that level of commitment.? The longer I work on something,
the worse it starts to look.? If I leave it with the idea of starting
again when I am fresh, I will never come back to it.? So I just slap
together the best I got, and call it quits.?
Another product of my short attention span is that
I will invest a lot of time and effort into something about which I am
very excited and then, in a matter of days, abandon the beautiful and
profound work of genius to lie in the wasteland because I got bored of
it.? My attention span is somewhat like Genghis Khan that way.? It
ravages everything within its path, raping and pillaging perfectly good
ideas to churn out cheap, crass, half finished products with no concern
and then turn its battle-lusty eyes to the next goal.
Part of the problem is that, its not enough for ME
to be excited about a project.? If I can’t get anyone else to be excited
about my idea, then I quickly lose my momentum.? So, you know, basically
its everyone else’s fault.
