I started a twitter. It takes a surprising amount of time to be 'spontaneously pithy.' It takes a long time for me to write anything with substance. Basically, having an online presence is more work than I'd like it to be.
I've been focusing a lot of attention on street art lately. Heartbreakingly cool street art. (photo credits go to Swoon, Banksy, & Shepard Fairey respectively.) I'm surprised street work like this has taken so long to reach this level of legitimacy. The people need art, even if they don't think so. Museums and galleries provide a wonderful service and house so much beauty, but contemporary art has become strictly an exclusive experience of the wealthy. Then again, the everlasting conundrum of earning a living prevents visual artists from strictly targeting the masses. I think Shepard Fairey has walked that line beautifully, though.
